Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Rangers FC host Athletic Club — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Rangers FC have won 785 goals from 402 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Benat Prados has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 13' A moment of madness from Robin Propper on 13 minutes earns him a card. Rangers FC will be frustrated.
  • 18' Sannadi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Athletic Club so far.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 29' Athletic Club player sees a card in front of him.
  • 30' The referee has no hesitation. Barry Ferguson is booked for Rangers FC — card on 30.
  • 35' Rangers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Athletic Club backline.
  • 40' Ross McCausland has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' It looks surprising Athletic Club does not make any changes. Alex Berenguer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 50' The travelling Athletic Club supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' That is a card for Athletic Club. Sannadi will be fuming at that decision.
  • 59' 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 Dujon Sterling suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Gorka Guruzeta. He replaces Sannadi on 62 minute.
  • 67' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Bailey Rice is replaced by Connor Barron.
  • 72' Athletic Club started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 72.
  • 74' Athletic Club manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alex Berenguer is hanging Oihan Sancet on the field on 74 minute.
  • 79' The 28-year-old Vaclav Cerny has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 84' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 85' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Cyriel Dessers by Hamza Igamane on 85 minute.
  • 90' Benat Prados was booked on 90.
  • 90' Athletic Club ring the changes. De Marcos has done his job and it is now time for Andoni Gorosabel to step up.
  • 0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
