The game ended 2–2, Angelo Balanta getting both goals for Rangers.[5] They then went on to Croatia to play a game at NK Karlovac. The game ended 3–1 to the Croats, the R's goal coming through Rowan Vine.[6] After returning to England Rangers beat Frest Green Rovers 2–0, with goals from Damion Stewart and Alessandro Pellicori,[7] they then played Oxford United at The Kassam Stadium.
