Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FK Spartak Moskva and Rangers FC is underway.
  • 5' Goal! Roman Eremenko scores his 9 goal in 350 matches.
  • 10' 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 Ivelin Popov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivelin Popov.
  • 20' FK Spartak Moskva is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 22' GOAL! Lorenzo Melgarejo scores on 22. Assisted by Ivelin Popov
  • 27' What a strike from Candeias! The score is 2-1.
  • 29' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nikolai Rasskazov.
  • 30' Fernando is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 34' The referee shows Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 34.
  • 35' What a strike from Connor Goldson! The score is 2-2.
  • 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' Sensational shot from Glenn Middleton. Rangers FC is back in the lead.
  • 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Spartak Moskva that had 350 games and scored 409 goals.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sofiane Hanni made 350 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' Goal! Luiz Adriano scores his 33 goal in 350 matches.
  • 59' Sofiane Hanni puts FK Spartak Moskva on the lead.
  • 60' FK Spartak Moskva manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Denis Glushakov is hanging Roman Eremenko on the field on 60 minute.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Salvatore Bocchetti.
  • 68' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 71' Artyom Timofeyev is replacing Ivelin Popov for the FK Spartak Moskva side.
  • 76' Rangers FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 77' The referee calls foul for Lorenzo Melgarejo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 81' Another substitution for FK Spartak Moskva to replace Luiz Adriano by Ze Luis on 81 minute.
  • 82' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Jon Flanagan is replaced by Andrew Halliday on 82 minute.
  • 87' Nikolai Rasskazov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Gareth McAuley. He replaces Ovie Ejaria on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-3.
