Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Rangers FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' It looks surprising SK Rapid Wien does not make any changes. Christopher Dibon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 11' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Veton Berisha.
  • 16' 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 Scott Arfield suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' SK Rapid Wien are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 26' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dietmar Kühbauer will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' Christopher Dibon gets the nod from SK Rapid Wien. He replaces Mateo Barac and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 38' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 42' GOAL! Veton Berisha scores on 42. Assisted by James Tavernier
  • 43' Connor Goldson was booked on 43.
  • 44' A stunning finish from Alfredo Morelos — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 49' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 51' Andrei Ivan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 51.
  • 56' Andrija Pavlovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SK Rapid Wien so far.
  • 58' SK Rapid Wien manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Deni Alar is hanging Andrei Ivan on the field on 58 minute.
  • 63' The referee has no hesitation. Mert Muldur is booked for SK Rapid Wien — Yellow card on 63.
  • 68' It’s a booking for SK Rapid Wien player. Stefan Schwab gets a Yellow card.
  • 72' Boli Bolingoli is ready to make an impact after coming on for Veton Berisha at the 72 minute mark.
  • 77' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 82' Thomas Murg is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Rangers FC tonight.
  • 84' James Tavernier has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 84 minutes.
  • 89' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mateo Barac is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rangers FC.
  • 90' Alfredo Morelos doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Andrija Pavlovic argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 90' The Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Ryan Kent departs to be replaced by Andrew Halliday.
  • The final score is 3-1.
