Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio Municipal de Braga. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 398 games and scored 777 goals.
- 10' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 22' The referee shows Sporting Clube de Braga player a Yellow card on 22.
- 26' Sporting Clube de Braga is taking the lead after the goal scored by Andre Horta on 26.
- 31' Rangers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
- 36' Rangers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 36.
- 40' GOAL! Abel Ruiz scores on 40.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' Sporting Clube de Braga seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 55' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 60' Andre Castro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 44 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 63' The supporters are chanting for Borna Barisic. He replaces Leon Balogun on 63 minute.
- 68' It’s high time Carlos Carvalhal made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 73' 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.
- 75' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Abel Ruiz is replaced by Vitor Oliveira.
- 76' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Iuri Medeiros is replaced by Miguel Fale.
- 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Iuri Medeiros made 405 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 83' The whistle greets Andre Horta as he departs to be replaced by Lucas Mineiro.
- 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 89' The Sporting Clube de Braga manager makes a substitution. Yan Couto departs to be replaced by Paulo Oliveira.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sporting Clube de Braga players.
