Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Malmo FF gets underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Scott Wright made 350 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Steven Davis has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 348 appearances.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steven Gerrard will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 19' GOAL! Alfredo Morelos fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 24' Rangers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
  • 29' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steven Gerrard might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 34' The referee shows Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 34.
  • 39' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 41' Bonke Innocent was booked on 41.
  • 45' Malmo FF receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' Malmo FF come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 51' A moment of madness from Alfredo Morelos on 51 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Rangers FC will be frustrated.
  • 53' GOAL! Antonio-Mirko Colak scores on 53.
  • 57' What a moment for Antonio-Mirko Colak! That strike on 57 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 62' It’s high time Jon Dahl Tomasson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 63' The Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Scott Wright departs to be replaced by Fashion Sakala.
  • 68' Jo Inge Berget has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 69' Rangers FC make a change. Scott Arfield trudges off to be replaced by Ianis Hagi on 69 minutes.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Ianis Hagi. He replaces Scott Arfield on 70 minute.
  • 74' Erdal Rakip is replacing Veljko Birmancevic for the Malmo FF side.
  • 78' Malmo FF receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 78.
  • 83' The Malmo FF bench stirs into life. Jo Inge Berget is withdrawn and Felix Beijmo gets his opportunity.
  • 88' 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Another substitution for Malmo FF to replace Antonio-Mirko Colak by Malik Abubakari on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Rangers FC.
