Controversial Draw Between Rangers and Motherwell at Ibrox
Glasgow, Scotland – A tense and hard-fought match at Ibrox Stadium culminated in a draw that left a bittersweet taste for Rangers. In a match corresponding to the 19th round of the Scottish Premiership, the home side dominated possession with 46%, although Motherwell had a greater time with the ball at 54%. Rangers generated a total of 26 shots, 12 of which were on target, but a lack of accuracy and the solid visiting defense prevented more goals from being scored.
A goal by T. Aasgaard in the 67th minute, without assistance, seemed to set Rangers on the path to victory, but the joy was short-lived. Earlier, in the 48th minute, a goal by N. Raskin was disallowed by VAR due to offside, sparking controversy among the home fans.
Motherwell, meanwhile, proved effective on their counterattacks, generating 12 shots, 5 of them on target. Despite having less possession, the visiting team managed to trouble the Rangers defense. The match was marked by a total of 25 fouls, 14 committed by Rangers and 11 by Motherwell. The referee showed four yellow cards, three for Rangers players (C. Barron, T. Aasgaard, and J. Souttar) and one for P. McGinn of Motherwell.
