Rangers 0 - 0 Bucoda (392034977)

The 37689 spectators at Ranger Stadium were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Metoděj Skalský was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wouter Brand and Alfonso Montiel. Rangers had chosen a strategic 5-2-3 formation. The following players had been chosen: Caselles - Rosland, Oneil, Kimble, Hartley, Corradini - Prince, Barragán - Görög, Alexa, Rodríguez.

Bucoda decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Williams - Castellar, Cordina, Marks - Klintman, Beckwith, Florit, Chávez, Agoitia - Čengić, Boyd.

Rangers were relying on their ability to counter-attack. Rangers were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from A. Oneil went into the arms of the keeper. A counterattack by Rangers after 31 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but S. Alexa, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. After 40 minutes, the Rangers coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving V. Görög off the field. T. Drummond took his place. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Bucoda had most of the ball, with 74 percent of possession.

75 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Bucoda substitution. F. Kunalić came on for T. Klintman. 80 minutes into the game, Rangers wanted to bring some new energy to their game. T. Drummond gave R. Lander a quick hug as he left the field. Rangers had to make a substitution after 80 minutes. O. Barragán limped off the field and was replaced by J. Ramirez. The heat made it a terrible day for G. Castellar, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. Rangers almost scored after a swift counterattack 88 minutes into the game, but A. Oneil put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Ramirez from Rangers a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 88 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Bucoda claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

Most important Rangers player was A. Rosland. J. Ramirez was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Bucoda player was without a doubt A. Čengić. F. Kunalić turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
