Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Falkirk FC and Rangers FC.
  • 2' What a strike from Youssef Chermiti! The score is 0-1.
  • 6' What a strike from Youssef Chermiti! The score is 0-2.
  • 7' GOAL! Jack Butland scores on 7.
  • 12' Falkirk FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
  • 17' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 19' Henry Cartwright is having his name booked by the referee on 19.
  • 24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 26' The referee calls foul for Brad Spencer. He receives a card.
  • 27' Goal! Djeidi Gassama scores his 19 goal in 520 matches.
  • 32' That looks like a foul for a card for Calvin Miller.
  • 37' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' Ethan Ross needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 43' Goal! Calvin Miller scores his 6 goal in 182 matches.
  • 47' Youssef Chermiti makes a hat-trick on 47.
  • 52' Falkirk FC is showing some good football. However, Falkirk FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 62' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Rangers FC winning 0% of all matches.
  • 67' Rangers FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 72' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Falkirk FC that had 38 games and scored 28 goals.
  • 77' 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.
  • 78' Goal! Thelo Aasgaard scores his 33 goal in 380 matches.
  • 83' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 88' 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 Connor Barron suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final score is 2-5.
