Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: OGC Nice gets underway.
- 5' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Tom Louchet has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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 Nedim Bajrami suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' It is a substitution in OGC Nice team. Youssouf Ndayishimiye is replaced by Yael Nandjou on 19 minute.
- 24' 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.
- 29' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Goal! Vaclav Cerny scores his 43 goal in 469 matches.
- 38' What a strike from Mohammed Diomande! The score is 0-2.
- 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' Mohammed Diomande was booked on 45.
- 46' Time for substitution for OGC Nice. Melvin Bard is replaced by Tanguy Ndombele.
- 48' GOAL! Hamza Igamane scores on 45.
- 53' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Raskin, as he is very good at scoring at Allianz Riviera with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 54' What a strike from Hamza Igamane! The score is 0-4.
- 59' 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.
- 62' The supporters are chanting for Ross McCausland. He replaces Vaclav Cerny on 62 minute.
- 67' Melvin Bard has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 72' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 77' 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.
- 80' Bailey Rice is replacing Nedim Bajrami for the Rangers FC side.
- 81' OGC Nice player sees a card in front of him.
- 83' Goal! Badredine Bouanani scores his 2 goal in 431 matches.
- 83' Bailey Rice was booked on 83.
- 88' Ross McCausland needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Rangers FC players.
