2-1 GOAL by Rabbi Matondo!
72′
About twenty minutes to play in Glasgow. Will we see more goals or will it all come down to the return match in Eindhoven?
72′
Ai, a painful duel between Lang and Goldson. Both men are left with pain on the field, although it seems that Lang is not too bad. Goldson needs a little more care but seems to be able to continue.
69′
Ismael Saibari is replaced by Guus Til
67′
Ryan Jack is replaced by John Lundstram

Abdallah Sima is replaced by Rabbi Matondo
61′
1-1 GOAL by Ibrahim Sangaré!
Sangaré makes up for his mistake in the first half and puts PSV in the same position! A wonderful transfer from Saibari throws the Rangers defense off track, after which Sangaré has plenty of time to print. Goalkeeper Butland has no chance in the right corner.
60′
Unfortunate collision between Dessers and Boscagli. The first in particular suffers from this. The former Feyeno player lands with his noble parts on the knee of the PSV defender and has to process that.
58′
Good attempt from Veerman, who tries to curl the ball into the far corner from a free kick. The shot lacks power and can therefore be caught by Butland.
57′
Yellow card for Todd Cantwell
So, the Englishman kicks Saibari down from behind. Yellow card for the midfielder and a free kick for PSV about 25 meters from goal.
57′
PSV is doing well there. Veerman loses the ball in the center circle and that seems to herald a dangerous counter-attack from Rangers, but the referee whistles for a foul.
56′
Shooting opportunity for Saibari, but he leans back too far and shoots the ball over Butland’s goal.
55′
Rangers press hard and completely pin Dest to the side of the field. The Scots conquer the ball and the audience in Ibrox Stadium can appreciate that.
52′
A large group of PSV players, including Jerdy Schouten and Yorbe Vertessen, have started a warm-up.
50′
The game is paused for a while, because Cantwell remains injured after a duel with Boscagli. There didn’t seem to be much going on and the Englishman can quickly move on.
49′
Chance for Ramalho! Veerman’s free kick is sharp, so that the PSV defender just cannot get a good header.
46′
A perilous moment for PSV’s goal, where Rangers is immediately dangerous via Tavernier. Benítez comes out and keeps his squad with a good save in the match.
48′
Yellow card for Borna Barišic
The Rangers defender has a hard time with Bakayoko’s dribbles and has to commit a foul.
45′
Second half kicked off
Both teams start the second half unchanged. Can PSV turn the tide?
45’+2′
End of first half
And right there is the rest signal. PSV had nothing to fear from the Scots in the first half, but unnecessarily gives away a goal through Sangaré’s fumbling. Peter Bosz will not be pleased with the first half of his team. PSV has much more ball possession, but always comes up against the closed defense of Rangers.
