Rafael Santos Borré failed in Frankfurt’s 2-1 win over Rangers | VIDEO

The first regulation time between Frankfurt vs. Rangers for the final of the Europa League began very disputed. Although, the German cast had the opportunity to break parity at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

At 94′, Calvin Bassey tried to control the ball, however, he ended up slipping and that was taken advantage of by Rafael Santos Borré. The Colombian striker, who had scored the tie for his team, was attentive and ran to the area.

The ‘Eagles’ forward took a strong shot, however, the Scottish club’s defender recovered from his mistake and put his foot at the right moment for the shot. The ball went out of the field and the referee took a corner kick, but this play generated uncertainty among the fans of both teams.

More from the Europa League final

The Germans arrive with their morale through the roof after being the executioner of Barcelona in the quarterfinals when the Barça club seemed to have become favorites to take the only trophy that is missing from their windows. Eintracht did not go beyond the 1-1 draw at home, but in the return leg they won 2-3 at a Camp Nou taken over by some 20,000 German fans, to the surprise of the Barça team.

Internationally, Eintracht Frankfurt have not lifted a European trophy since the 1980 UEFA Cup they won against Borussia Mönchengladbach, while the Scots only have the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup on their continental record.

For its part, Rangers is the highest scoring team in the Europa League (32 goals, two more than its rival). However, in Seville he will not be able to count on his top scorer, the Colombian Alfredo Morelos, who has been out since last April, although the Jamaican attacker Kemar Roofe will be there, recovered from his knee problems.
