Both sides are playing in Croatia I believe, in something called The UEFA Nations Cup. There is nobody there physically watching. You can hear the players yelling at each other in their native tongues, you can hear the coaches instructing the players, but there is nobody in the stands. Ball boys are there, a few security guards are there, TV people are there, but that is it. The stadium is small anyway, but the place is empty; totally freaking empty. Never seen anything like that.

Oh well

0-0, BTW somewhere around the 16:00 mark.

Croatia is being punished by UEFA for some stuff and have to play a couple matches behind closed doors

It's being played in Rijeka, which is an incredible location. The stadium has a cliff wall on one side, and the ocean on the other. Beautiful location, crappy stadium.

Stadium looks interesting. The seating areas behind each goal is covered with chain link fencing in each direction- above, behind, to the left and to the right. Nothing can get in and nothing can get out...except maybe a gun shot.

Someone put a swastika on the pitch before the Croatia/Italy qualifier back in 2015. 3 years later and here we are.

This game has been atrocious. Did everyone a favor but not allowing fans. I've since switched to Belgium/Switzerland.

Swastika? That's grand. Back in WWII, the Germans, the Croats (Yugoslavians) and the local Communist party faction fought a three sided war that was extremely cut throat and vicious. Thank God something like that has never happened here.
