The Fenerbahçe players were claiming a foul inside the Rangers area, asking the referee to go to the VAR to see if there was a penalty, which did not happen. In addition, the referee cautions coach Mourinho for protesting the foul.
Yilmaz is cautioned for Rangers. He is already the seventh cautioned for Rangers and the tenth cautioned overall counting Fenerbahçe's three cautions. A game with quite a few cautions for the home team who have yet to receive a red card.
It is noticeable that both teams can no longer continue with the same intensity and it is clear that both teams are already thinking about penalties. There are many tired players on the field and some of the balls are no longer reaching them.
In that free kick, captain Tavernier took it and, with a great shot over the wall, the ball went into the goal but, once again, Egribayat made a tremendous save to prevent the goal for the home team. Fenerbahçe is saved.
Djiku is cautioned for Fenerbahçe for a foul on Hagi very close to the Fenerbahçe box. It is the third caution of his team in which he also gives away a very good free kick for Rangers who have a great chance.
The second half of extra time begins with some changes by Fenerbahçe.
Substitution for Fenerbahçe:
Substitution: ⬇️ En-Nesyri and Szymanski the one with the two goals
In ⬆️ Kahveci and Yandas
Ferguson was also going to make a substitution for Cerny but stopped the change at the end, leaving the player on the pitch.
End of the first half of extra time. Rangers looked better at times and looked for the goal more than Fenerbahçe, especially through Cerny who, despite his team being behind, was one of the best players of the match.
For these overtimes, it is Rangers who have looked better to look for that goal that will give them the qualification. From the hand of Cerny, Rangers came again, a great hook of the player inside the area that, again, he shoots with his left foot but it goes easily into the hands of Egribayat.
Once again, Cerny, starting from the right, gets to his left foot and unleashes a great left-footed shot into the right corner of the goalkeeper's net. With an incredible save, Egribayat ends up sending the ball to the corner kick.
Off ⬇️ Barron
In ⬆️ Lawrence
A forced substitution as Barron cannot continue in the match due to being quite tired and fatigued, so the great Rangers midfielder is forced to leave the field. The fatigue left by the regular weather is beginning to show.
As the second half ended, this first extra time started. A Fenerbahçe looking for it more than Rangers with fresh players like Tadić and Dzeko who also give experience.
On the part of Rangers, it seems that the players are quite tired and could come modifications.
Extra time begins. We will see if any team manages to take the lead in this exciting series, which is 3-3 on aggregate. We will also see if neither team manages to take advantage, and we will be waiting to see the penalty kick shootout.
The 90 minutes are over and the match will go to extra time.
A great series with a very good Fenerbahçe that tied the aggregate that looked so complicated, forces the match to be played until the 120th minute. We will see if any team takes it in these times or if we will go from the penalty spot.
Hagi is cautioned in Rangers for a strong foul on an opponent in which he hit his hand in the face. He is the sixth cautioned in Rangers and the eighth in the match counting the two cautioned in Fenerbahçe. Quite a few yellow cards for the home team.
The fourth official says we'll go to 90+5. Quite a lot of added time in which anything could happen, in which only a goal would change the story and give the qualification to one of the two teams that are thinking of looking for it.
Off ⬇️ Muldur
In ⬆️ Djiku
Mourinho's substitution thinking about overtime and facing it with more freshness of the team from the back. Great game of Muldur who was very important in the second goal of Fenerbahçe.
Off ⬇️ Jefté
In ⬆️ Hagi
Totally offensive change by the coach of the home team. He is looking to score that goal that will put them back ahead in the series and thus avoid the overtime that would be played at this time.
Szymanski again. Szymanski continues to be his team's most dangerous player and this time he tried on the edge of the area with his left foot. The player looked to place the ball in the corner of the goalkeeper Butland but the ball ended up going wide.
Fenerbahçe almost scored the third. The newly-entered Tadić, positioned himself very well for his left foot and unleashed a powerful shot from half distance. The ball went too close to goalkeeper Butland's right post. Rangers are saved from the third goal.
Substitutions: ⬇️ Samuel and Talisca
In come ⬆️ Tadić and Dzeko
Changes definitely thought to be able to win the match, along with the boost of the tie, Mourinho is thinking about winning the match with players who came in for that.
Fenerbahçe's goal, scored by Szymanski, ties the series. Great attacking play by Muldur, who reaches the back line and releases a pass into the box where Szymanski anticipates his teammates and pushes the ball to score his double and tie the series. 0-2 Fenerbahçe wins.
The home team had the chance to put the game to bed. The newly entered Igamane, recovered the ball very well in the output of Fenerbahçe and, on the edge of the area, released a great left-footed shot to the left post of the goalkeeper. Egribayat's response to stop the ball was very good.
Substitute ⬇️ Diomande and Dessers 🟨
Enter ⬆️ Igamane and Bajrami
Also looking to take out the players with yellow cards and give freshness to his team's attack in order to seal the series and qualify directly.
Another dangerous arrival by Fenerbahçe. Kostic again on the left flank, sent a great cross to the Rangers area, where Talisca, won the header very well and shot but the ball ended up going just outside the goal guarded by goalkeeper Butland.
Rangers managed to regain some control of the ball in the face of the suffocation that the Turkish team was proposing. They came a little closer to the opponent's goal with some corner kicks but without much danger. Cerny continues to be a very important player in the Rangers attack.
Fenerbahçe continues to arrive and with Talisca's help, they continue to generate chances and dominate the match by playing the ball in the opponent's half. Coach Barry is not very happy with his team in this second half and we could see more substitutions.
Great arrival of Fenerbahçe. Talisca, on the edge of the box, looked for a shot from there with his right foot. The ball ended up taking a lot of height and went over the goal guarded by Butland. In addition, in a previous play, Fenerbahçe claimed a handball in the area that the referee did not award.
Off ⬇️ Sterling 🟨
In ⬆️ Yilmaz
A substitution thinking that Sterling was already cautioned and could risk a possible red, besides being the place where Fenerbahçe are attacking best and where they see more space to generate damage to Rangers.
Fenerbahçe continue to attack well, although they have not yet had any dangerous chances on Rangers' goal. The visiting team looks better on the pitch than in the first half. Rangers lost a lot of their control of the ball.
At the start of the second half, a more intense Fenerbahçe is being seen, noting that the goal in the first half motivated Mourinho's team to tie this series and take the match to extra time. We will see how the match continues.
The second half begins with no changes from either team. We'll see what the second half has in store for us, seeing that Fenerbahçe is only one goal away from tying the series and going to extra time. Fenerbahçe wins 0-1 over Rangers at Ibrox Stadium.
🟨The first half ended with more cautions for the home team, this time Diomande and Dessers were the players cautioned for Rangers.
A match in which Rangers was doing a great job but Fenerbahçe was able to hold on and took advantage of it to take the lead. We will have a great second half.
Goal for Fenerbahçe, scored by Szymanski. On the left flank, a good play by Kostic, who sent a cross into the box that deflected off Sterling, but the ball still reached Szymanski who, with a great shot, scored the first goal for his team and got a goal away from tying the series.
Minute of applause at Ibrox Stadium in tribute to Christopher Potter, a Rangers fan who recently lost his life in the Istanbul match. Nice tribute from the fans in the stadium for this Rangers fan, full of applause in the stadium.
Third caution for Rangers. Center back Souttar is cautioned for a foul on Talisca when he was stepping near the Rangers box. A dangerous free kick in favor of Fenerbahçe. Third caution for Rangers and fourth in the match.
The visitors' first dangerous first touch of the game. A great long pass from Fred to En-Nesyri who, with a first-time shot, shot the ball just wide of Butland's goal. Good approach by Fenerbahçe, who are now getting more and more into the game.
Rangers attacks Fenerbahçe very well especially on their right flank with Cerny who is already one of the stars of the match at this time in the match. When Fenerbahçe find some spaces, they are not able to generate danger when they are already in a compromising zone.
Second caution for Rangers. Balogun earns a yellow card after cutting off a Talisca run from his goal, the referee says it's cutting off a promising attack. Third caution of the game and it's the second by the home team.
Rangers continue to look better in the match, they continue to play the ball in the opponent's half keeping the ball as far away from their goal as possible, as well as generating the dangerous chances. We are still not seeing any dangerous chances from Fenerbahçe.
Again a dangerous arrival of the home team. Again Cerny, starting and recovering from the middle of the field, is positioned to shoot with his left foot and released a great shot to the bottom left post of the goalkeeper Egribayat. The ball just goes wide.
The second caution of the match goes to Sterling for Rangers, for a foul on Kostic on the touchline in the middle of the pitch. It is the first caution for Rangers and the second in the match, the first being Talisca for Fenerbahçe.
After a foul near the Rangers box for a foul by Tavernier on Kostic, the ball doesn't end up reaching the head of a Fenerbahçe player so the ball ends up going for a corner kick in favor of Fenerbahçe.
First yellow card of the match and it's for Fenerbahçe, Talisca is cautioned. After claiming a foul by Jefté very close to the Rangers area, the referee ends up calling offside, and Talisca, for protesting, ends up earning a yellow card.
The home team is very well positioned on the pitch, having long possessions and dominating the ball away from their goal. Fenerbahçe are not yet settled on the pitch and are still struggling to get forward.
First shot on goal of the match and it's in favor of Rangers. Again a direct attack from the home team, leaving Cerny going down the right and settling for his left foot to shoot, the shot went into the hands of Egribayat.
The match is a bit stopped by fouls from both teams. A dangerous foul by Fenerbahçe that ended in nothing and a foul in favor of Rangers for a hard foul by Amrabat on Diomande. The score is still 0-0 for now.
Despite Fenerbahçe dominating possession, Rangers look clearer when attacking and generate danger while Fenerbahçe struggle to build to get into the box, Rangers recover very quickly and accumulate a lot of players up top.
In the first minutes of the match, Fenerbahçe is the one who wants to take the lead of the match with the control of the ball, looking for a quick goal that will put them in the match. For their part, Rangers are looking for quick transitions.
The second leg of the round of 16 between Rangers and Fenerbahçe is already underway. We will see if Rangers keeps or increases the advantage or if Fenerbahçe is able to turn around a very adverse away result.

AVAR: Christian Dingert
Espen Eskås is a 36-year-old Norwegian referee who has officiated 374 matches in which he has shown 1208 yellow cards (3.2 per match), 41 red cards (0.1 per match) and 108 penalties (0.3 per match).

They have accumulated a total of 3 official matches played in which Rangers have won 1, Fenerbahçe have won 1 and they have drawn one match, with 3 goals in favor of Fenerbahçe and 4 in favor of Rangers.
Dusan Tadić, 36-year-old Serbian winger, is the player who, with his seniority and good play, has been one of the pillars of this Fenerbahçe. Not only does he contribute by giving play to the team, he has also added good numbers this season that make him not only a great assisting player, but he has also converted a good amount of goals. In the current season, he has 11 goals and 15 assists in 42 games played in all competitions.
Vaclav Cerny, is a 27-year-old Czech right winger who is one of the scorers of Rangers this season both in the league and Europa League. In the first leg, he scored a great double in the 1-3 of his team, also crowning himself as one of the scorers of this UEFA Europa League with 6 goals in 9 games played. In the league, he has already scored 11 goals in 26 games played.
The team coached by José Mourinho, has had a great improvement in the game since the Portuguese arrived at the team's bench. They are currently competing in the league against Galatasaray and have just qualified for the Europa League Playoffs by qualifying in 24th place and defeating Anderlecht of Belgium. The team will be looking to make a big comeback away from home after losing their first leg game against Rangers at home. In their last game, they also lost 1-3 at home to Rangers.
After their first leg away match, where Rangers took a big advantage by winning 1-3, the team is still thinking about advancing rounds and be able to get this European title. The team is no longer competing in the Scottish Cup and in the league, Celtic already has a big difference in points, so one of the objectives of Rangers, could be to conquer this title that was already elusive in 2022 after losing the final against Frankfurt of Germany.
