  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Iuri Medeiros made 418 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' 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.
  • 22' David Carmo is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
