Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Midtjylland gets underway.
- 5' 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 Jordan Jones suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Alexander Scholz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 40' FC Midtjylland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 43' What a strike from Alfredo Morelos! The score is 0-1.
- 48' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Rasmus Nicolaisen.
- 52' GOAL! Joe Aribo scores on 52.
- 56' What a strike from Nikola Katic! The score is 0-3.
- 58' GOAL! Ogochukwu Onyeka Frank scores on 58.

- 63' Goal! Sory Kaba scores his 24 goal in 312 matches.

- 82' Another change for Rangers FC made on 82 minute. Scott Arfield leaves to be changed by Greg Docherty.
- 86' The referee shows Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 86.
