Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Aris Limassol and Rangers FC is underway.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Aris Limassol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 9' GOAL! Alex Moucketou-Moussounda scores on 9. Assisted by Leo Bengtsson
  • 14' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kemar Roofe, as he is very good at scoring at Alphamega Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 19' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 24' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nicolas Raskin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' The referee shows Aris Limassol player a card on 29.
  • 34' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 39' Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
  • 49' Abdallah Sima needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 50' The referee calls foul for Abdallah Sima. He receives a card.
  • 52' Eric Boakye is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
  • 57' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' GOAL! Shavy Warren Babicka scores on 59. Assisted by Leo Bengtsson
  • 64' It’s gonna be a card for Cyriel Dessers.
  • 67' Another substitution for Aris Limassol to replace Karol Struski by Morgan Brown on 67 minute.
  • 68' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Nicolas Raskin is replaced by Kemar Roofe on 68 minute.
  • 70' What a strike from Abdallah Sima! The score is 2-1.
  • 75' Yannick Gomis was booked on 75.
  • 80' Franz Brorsson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Eric Boakye on 80 minute.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aris Limassol that had 12 games and scored 25 goals.
  • 89' The Aris Limassol manager makes a substitution. Shavy Warren Babicka departs to be replaced by Mariusz Stepinski.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Rangers FC.
