Decisive figure sets Rangers on their way at Pittodrie | OneFootball

Thelo Aasgaard broke the game open in the 23rd minute with a composed finish, setting Rangers on course for a 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

He guided Jayden Meghoma's cross into the bottom corner, drifting into space from a corner to strike cleanly from the centre of the box (23.).

After the restart, Aasgaard slipped Djeidi Gassama into the area for a chance that was blocked (52.), continuing to knit moves together between midfield and the front line.

He finished with one attempt and one goal, 30 of 34 passes completed and eight successful passes in the final third, plus six possessions won, underlining how he linked play and regained the ball in key areas.

Because he repeatedly received between The Dons' lines and recycled attacks efficiently, Rangers controlled the central spaces and sustained pressure when it mattered.

Rangers move up from third to second in the Scottish Premiership. They host Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup next, while The Dons face Raith Rovers in the same competition.
