Frankfurt beats Rangers 4-5 to win Europa league

Eintracht Frankfurt won their first European title in 42 years by beating Rangers in Wednesday’s UEFA Europa League final in Seville.

Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 5-4 on penalties to win the Europa League after Wednesday’s final in Seville finished 1-1 at the end of extra time.

Frankfurt, who also won this tournament when it was called the UEFA Cup in 1980, had to come from behind in southern Spain before winning in a penalty shootout.

Colombian striker Rafael Borre scored the winning penalty for Frankfurt in the shoot-out after Rangers’ Aaron Ramsey had earlier seen his kick saved by Kevin Trapp.

Borre had cancelled out Joe Aribo’s opener in normal time and no more goals were added in the extra period before Eintracht won their first European trophy since the 1980 UEFA Cup.
