Europa League semifinals
- West Ham against Eintracht Frankfurt
- RB Leipzig vs. Rangers
All four teams will imagine their chances, especially now that Barcelona have dropped out. And whichever team wins the Europa League, it will be a hell of a story.

Ibrox has become a bouncing castle. Giovanni van Bronckhorst embraces all his players and then goes to applaud the fans. The atmosphere tonight was sensational, and the good news for Rangers is that they will be at home in the rematch of their semifinal against RB Leipzig.
8 minutes ago 22.34
End time: Rangers 3-1 Braga (total: 3-2)
Pip pip! Rangers reached their first European semifinal in 2008! They worked extremely hard against a team from Braga, which finished with nine people, but their victory was well deserved. James Tavernier scored twice in the first half, but a late header by David Carmo led to a one-sided overtime.
The Rangers were shaken by this strange twist in the plot, but got together in time for Kemar Ruf – who had two goals scored earlier in the match – to get them into the semifinals. They will face RB Leipzig, and in the final they will face Eintracht Frankfurt or West Ham.

117 mins. Rangers lose a few minutes by passing the ball around, an extremely sensible approach when they have two extra men.
15 minutes ago 22.28

114 mins. Braga desperately appeals for a penalty after a long throw leads to a little quarrel. Do not do anything.
18 minutes ago 22.25
112 mins. “I’m a little surprised that you think Rufus should have been expelled,” said Sam Campbell. “I thought he got out and made sure there was no contact. Although I also thought the Rangers should have had a free kick instead of a corner kick from Braga, so maybe it all came out. ”
I thought he tried to get away, but he couldn’t. That said, it was an extremely frantic night, so I couldn’t watch the replay a few times. And overall, the Rangers totally deserve to pass.

110 mins: Arfield hits the crossbar! I do not believe it. Sakala’s shot was deflected by a defender and was saved by Matheus. The ball rushed to Arfield six yards away and he somehow shot it to the top of the crossbar!

108 mins Arfield misses a great chance to win! Sakala and Kent combined well on the left as Kent pulled the ball back to Arfield in the area. He panicked and fired a gentle shot from 10 yards away from a nearby beam.

It was a stormy night in Ibrox. But Rangers are certainly on their way to the Europa League semi-final against RB Leipzig.
28 minutes ago 22.14
105 + 1 min. This was absurd from Medeiros and certainly put an end to Braga’s hopes of reaching the semifinals.
29 minutes ago 22.14
MEDEIROS IS SENDING!
105 minutes Braga reduced to nine people. Medeiros left one for Balogun and received a yellow card. Then he got right in the face of the referee and received a second yellow card!
31 minutes ago 22.11
103 min. Braga will claim – correctly, in fact – that Ruf should have been expelled at the beginning of the overtime. Rangers will not give alone.
32 m ago 22.11
He had two banned, but that counts! It was beautifully crafted on the right. Kamara scored a square pass for Aribo, who scored a low cross on the corner into the six-yard field. Ruuf faced Mineiro on the far post and happily put the ball into the open net.

39 minutes ago 22.03
95 min. Braga with ten people dominates at the moment. The rangers are either tired, shaky, or both. It will haunt them forever if they don’t pass tonight.
41 minutes ago 22.01
92 minutes Castro dropped out after a bad challenge from Ruuf, who has already received a yellow card. There he was lucky – he passed over the ball and had to get a second yellow. The referee showed his yellow card, but only to receive a yellow card from one of Braga’s coaching staff.

91 min Peep peep! We start again.
48 minutes ago 21.54
End time: Rangers 2-1 Braga (total: 2-2)
I have no idea how this happened, but we will have extra time at Ibrox. The Rangers need to be in the shower celebrating their first European semi-final since 2008. But Braga – who was naked and dropped out at half-time – held on grimly in the second half and tied the tie with a penalty from David Carmo.
49 minutes ago 21.54

82 m. Camara blocks a long shot by Ricardo Orta.
1 hour ago 21.40
81 min. Matheus is still being treated. He stopped Ramsey’s strike on the line and the inertia of the two players led to a collision, Ramsey’s knee against Matheus’ head. But he is already on his feet and looks good to continue.
1 hour 21.38 ago
80 mins While Matthews receives treatment, the Rangers make a double change – Ryan Jack and Aaron Ramsey are replaced by Glenn Chamber and Scott Wright.
1 hour 21.38 ago
79 mins: Another Rangers goal is rejected! Matheus is down, holding his face after a challenge from apologizing Ramsey, although I think the goal was rejected for offside.
1 hour ago 21.36
78 mins. Ramsey slaloms two players on the edge of D and is taken down. The referee does not see the trip and the waves continue.

75 mins. Fabiano stumbles upon a bouncing ball 30 yards away and scatters it in a different zip code.
1 hour 21.32 ago
74 minutes. Despite all the dominance – and it was completely one-sided – Rangers still have only one goal ahead in the draw.
1 hour 21.31 ago
73 mins Goldson is eliminated after a clash with Vitor Oliveira. The Rangers were not happy, but although Oliveira jumped into Goldson, he seemed to have eyes only for the ball. Eventually, Goldson stood up and accepted Oliveira’s apology.
1 hour 21.29 ago
NO GOAL! Ruuf was really offside.
1 hour 21.29 ago
70 min: Ruf has another rejected goal! This time it is offside, but it will be checked. He came across Aribo’s superb shot and lightly threw the ball over striker Matheus. The offside looks very tight, so that can still be given.

1 hour 21.28 ago
69 min. Rangers still insist on a third goal. A free kick from the right side of Barisic was aimed with a header from Aribo, but the referee took a corner. Tavernier’s delivery is directed to the nearest post. Ramsey picks up the loose ball, plays one or two with Lundstram and shoots into the side net from an impossible angle. After a poor start, he played quite well, although he took the wrong option.
1 hour 21.26 ago
67 minutes. In the current situation, the semifinals of the Europa League will be:
- RB Leipzig vs. Rangers
- West Ham against Eintracht Frankfurt
1 hour 21.24 ago
