Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Rangers FC gets underway.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 9' Ben Davies was booked on 9.
  • 11' Giovanni Simeone puts SSC Napoli on the lead.
  • 16' Magnificent from Giovanni Simeone! That is 67 goals in 463 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 21' Both keepers have barely been tested. SSC Napoli and Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 26' Ridvan Yilmaz, a Turkey , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 31' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 36' The energy levels are beginning to show. Luciano Spalletti might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 41' With 2 assists to his name this season, Matteo Politano is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SSC Napoli.
  • 42' The referee calls foul for John Lundstram. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' Fashion Sakala has so much to prove this time. He replaces Scott Wright on 46 minute.

  • 56' Rangers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 61' It’s high time Giovanni van Bronckhorst made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 67' A tactical swap from Rangers FC — Scott Arfield on, Malik Tillman off on 67 minutes.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Antonio-Mirko Colak. He replaces Alfredo Morelos on 68 minute.

  • 76' Leon King makes way for Borna Barisic at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Rangers FC.
  • 80' What a moment for Leo Ostigard! That strike on 80 puts his side firmly in control.
