Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. OGC Nice kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 19' Another substitution for OGC Nice to replace Youssouf Ndayishimiye by Yael Nandjou on 19 minute.
- 24' OGC Nice is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 29' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
- 34' OGC Nice started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
- 35' Rangers FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vaclav Cerny on 35.
- 38' Goal! Mohammed Diomande scores his 7 goal in 6 matches.
- 43' Badredine Bouanani has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Mohammed Diomande.
- 46' OGC Nice manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tanguy Ndombele is hanging Melvin Bard on the field on 46 minute.
- 48' Goal! Hamza Igamane scores his 16 goal in 402 matches.
- 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 54' Hamza Igamane with the second goal in the match!
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Connor Barron made 350 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 62' Ross McCausland has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vaclav Cerny on 62 minute.
- 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering OGC Nice that had 442 games and scored 370 goals.
- 72' 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 Gaetan Laborde suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 80' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Nedim Bajrami by Bailey Rice on 80 minute.
- 81' Tom Louchet is having his name booked by the referee on 81.
- 83' GOAL! Badredine Bouanani scores on 83.
- 83' Rangers FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 83.
- 88' It’s high time Franck Haise made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- Full Time. Rangers FC beats OGC Nice
