Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rangers FC to score. At the same time, FC Viktoria Plzen does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Denis Visinsky has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Rangers FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Djeidi Gassama on 15.
  • 20' Svetozar Markovic is having his name booked by the referee on 20.
  • 25' The travelling FC Viktoria Plzen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Mohammed Diomande needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
  • 31' It’s gonna be a card for Nicolas Raskin.
  • 36' It looks surprising FC Viktoria Plzen does not make any changes. Lukas Cerv has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jefte on 41.
  • 45' GOAL! Cyriel Dessers scores on 45.
  • 46' Matej Valenta has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jiri Panos on 46 minute.
  • 51' Djeidi Gassama with the second goal in the match!
  • 56' FC Viktoria Plzen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Svetozar Markovic scoring 1 goals.
  • 57' FC Viktoria Plzen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Denis Visinsky is hanging Tomas Ladra on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Viktoria Plzen that had 150 games and scored 71 goals.
  • 64' The Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Joe Rothwell departs to be replaced by Nicolas Raskin.
  • 65' The FC Viktoria Plzen manager makes a substitution. Rafiu Durosinmi departs to be replaced by Prince Adu.
  • 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 74' James Tavernier has so much to prove this time. He replaces Max Aarons on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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 Svetozar Markovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Oliver Antman is replaced by Findlay Curtis on 85 minute.
