Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Midtjylland kicks off things out of here…
- 5' FC Midtjylland fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, James Tavernier is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Midtjylland.
- 14' Goal! Alfredo Morelos scores his 103 goal in 402 matches.
- 19' FC Midtjylland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
- 24' Mikael Anderson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 29' 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 Ryan Jack suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for James Tavernier.
- 39' What a strike from Sheyi Ojo! The score is 2-0.
- 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 402 games and scored 785 goals.
- 45' Rasmus Nicolaisen catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 45.
- 46' Another change for FC Midtjylland made on 46 minute. Jens Cajuste leaves to be changed by Awer Mabil.
- 49' A goal from the Colombia international Alfredo Morelos! He fires home on 49 to make it 3-0!
- 51' The referee has no hesitation. Alexander Scholz is booked for FC Midtjylland — Yellow card on 51.
- 56' FC Midtjylland are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 65' Awer Mabil picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 68' Greg Docherty gets the nod from Rangers FC. He replaces Ryan Jack and will look to change the dynamic.
- 69' Tim Sparv is replacing Mikael Anderson for the FC Midtjylland side.
- 72' What a strike from Evander! The score is 3-1.
- 76' Sory Kaba was booked on 76.
- 79' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Glen Kamara.
- 81' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Alfredo Morelos is replaced by Jermain Defoe on 81 minute.
- 82' FC Midtjylland ring the changes. Sory Kaba has done his job and it is now time for Artem Dovbyk to step up.
- 87' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and FC Midtjylland are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Rangers FC players.
