  • 21' SK Rapid Wien is showing some good football. However, SK Rapid Wien are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 31' 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.
  • 33' It is a substitution in SK Rapid Wien team. Mateo Barac is replaced by Christopher Dibon on 33 minute.

  • 42' Veton Berisha puts SK Rapid Wien on the lead.
  • 43' It’s a booking for Rangers FC player. Connor Goldson gets a Yellow card.

  • 84' James Tavernier puts Rangers FC on the lead.
  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' Alfredo Morelos with the second goal in the match!
  • 90' SK Rapid Wien player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
