ABERDEEN 0-2 RIEJKA agg
0-4
NIMBLE NETO
Romain Saiss curled a free-kick wide after 23 minutes while
Cutrone lashed over before the break after latching on to a long ball.
First, Neto grabbed his debut goal when he finished from six
yards after Cutrone cut back on 54 minutes.
Then Neto turned provider four minutes later when he crossed
from the left and Gibbs-White fired in his first Wolves goal from eight yards.
With the floodgates opened, Vinagre - who scored in the home
win over Crusaders in the last round - then got in on the act when he tapped in
from close range following Adama Traore's run and low cross after 64 minutes.
MY
OPINION
Wolves will have their first
real test next week when they go into the play off for the group stage as that
had not been in this position for such a long time. This might be a situation
where they put pressure on themselves
RANGERS 3-1 MIDJYLLAND agg
7-3
MIGHTY MOROLOS
It did not take long before the home side began to threaten.
Ojo came close before swinging in a cross in from the left that allowed Morelos
to pounce, cut inside Rasmus Nicolaisen, and knock the ball home.
Any pre-match jitters from the home crowd were quickly
dispelled and, with the comfort of a three-goal cushion, Rangers struck again
seven minutes from time. After a smart tackle from Ryan Jack in the middle of
the park, Arfield then broke against a limited defence, before finding Morelos
out wide.
The Colombian striker initially miscontrolled but managed to
skid the ball to the front post where Ojo arrived to finish.
Gerrard's side began the second half with the same purpose
as in the first. Ojo latched on to a thunderous clearing header from Nikola Katic
just five minutes in to the half, then swung in a cross from the left that
allowed Morelos to duly tapped in his second from just a few yards out.
He first hints of a Danish revival came in the 50th minute
when Gustav Wikheim latched on to a long ball, skipped beyond James Tavernier
and fired a tricky shot at Allan McGregor. Eight minutes later, the same
forward forced another save from the Rangers goalkeeper after getting on to the
end of an Awer Mabil cross.
The consolation would come 20 minutes from time when another
Mabil cross found Evander in the box.
MY
OPINION
Rangers are doing things the
right way and are improving every game and do look like they are ready to challenge
Celtic for the league at least at this stage. Gerard is showing that he is
learning from his mistakes
WOLVES 4-0 PUNIK agg
0-8
JURASIC JIMINEZ
Jota made amends for his earlier miss by slipping the
Mexican striker in and he produced an emphatic finish into the roof of the net.
The match, and probably the tie, was then made safe less
than a minute after the restart.
Jota again was the provider, slipping in Jimenez who made no
mistake when through one-on-one.
Jimenez's chance to take the match ball home was denied by a
header cleared off the line, but Wolves could not be prevented from scoring a
fourth late on
MY
OPINION
For Wolves now is when the game
starts as they are getting better but now we will see where they are they could
look at their options at the start of the season but now will have to have
their strongest 11
