Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Rangers FC and FK Spartak Moskva is underway.
- 5' Candeias has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 44 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' 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.
- 33' FK Spartak Moskva receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 33.
- 38' 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.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 398 games and scored 777 goals.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fernando on 45.
- 46' FK Spartak Moskva manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sofiane Hanni is hanging Aleksandr Tashaev on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' 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 Ze Luis suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 59' Candeias is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
- 64' 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.

- 73' Aleksandr Lomovitski needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
