Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Rangers FC launch into their encounter with Olympique Lyonnais.
- 5' Olympique Lyonnais started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and Olympique Lyonnais are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 14' Connor Goldson catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 14.
- 19' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 403 games and scored 786 goals.
- 23' Olympique Lyonnais is taking the lead after the goal scored by Karl Toko Ekambi on 23.
- 28' Anthony Lopes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Islam Slimani catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 30.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' Allan McGregor has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 50' 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.
- 52' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jerome Boateng.
- 55' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Islam Slimani makes it 0-2.
- 59' The Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Steven Davis is withdrawn and Scott Wright gets his opportunity.
- 64' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 65' A change in the Olympique Lyonnais ranks — Jerome Boateng exits the field as Sinaly Diomande enters on 65.
- 70' It is a substitution in Rangers FC team. Ryan Kent is replaced by Kemar Roofe on 70 minute.
- 71' Time for substitution for Olympique Lyonnais. Karl Toko Ekambi is replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri.
- 74' Joe Aribo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
- 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alfredo Morelos on 75.
- 76' Fashion Sakala is replacing Joe Aribo for the Rangers FC side.
- 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 86' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Lucas Paqueta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-2.
