match report
It was a fine sunny day and the pitch condition at St Joseph Institution was good for a good game of football to take place for Rangers to take on the Swiss for a 5pm kick-off.
On the 3rd minute of play, Rangers'striker Ozzy managed to get pass the Swiss right back and cut into the Swiss penalty box to face the Swiss keeper on a one to one situation but ballooned the ball well off target and squandered the chance for Rangers to possibly take the lead.
Swiss managed to settle down after a shaky start to the game and started to play their brand of football and created a number of attacking plays towards Rangers goal.
They took the lead on the 22nd minute and continued to score on the 28th,33rd and 40th minute.
Rangers pulled a goal back on the 35th minute through a penalty and Rangers' Captain Todd made no mistake from the spot kick. Half-time : Swiss 4 Rangers 1
Second half started with Rangers wanting to come back into the game with more attacking plays but were caught stranded by Swiss counter attacks and they scored on the 53rd minute increasing their lead by 4 goals.
