22:34
Tooor for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1:1 by Rafael Borré
Frankfurt is back in the game! Kostić has some space on the left flank and simply hits a half-high cross inside. Borré has the right nose for the five in the middle, is ahead of Goldson on the ball and pushes the ball flat into the left corner with his right foot!
67
10:33 p.m
the thickness Opportunity to equalize! Goldson slips in front of his own penalty area, whereupon Rode immediately chips through for Kamada. The offensive player wants to lurch over McGregor from ten meters, but also puts the ball just over the bar on the goal roof.
65
10:30 p.m
Now Aribo goes down in the Frankfurt sixteen after a duel with Hasebe. The SBU defender solved that very fairly with all his routine.
62
22:26
Yellow card for Joe Aribo (Rangers FC)
Aribo catches Touré in an aerial duel with his arm in his face and sees the first yellow card of the game.
59
22:26
The Hessians have the chance to equalize! Bassey blocked Lindstrøm’s shot from 17 meters with his chest to the side. The hand, as claimed by some eagles, was not involved.
58
22:25
Tuta also injured himself when he slipped away before the 0: 1 and has to get out. It comes thick as a stick for Frankfurt.

57
22:21
Tooor for Rangers FC, 0-1 by Joe Aribo
The Rangers set the first trick in the final! A long shot from Trapp comes back immediately with a head. Sow unhappily extended the ball with his head in the direction of his own goal, where Tuta actually had a better grip on the ball, but unluckily slipped away when going backwards. So Aribo is suddenly free and slides in alone in front of Trapp from 14 meters below left! Is that bitter for the SGE!
55
22:20
Now the Scots also book the first degree after the change of sides. A ball slips under the sole of Knauff’s own penalty area. Kent can shoot from 14 meters on the left, but the ball slips over his slip and then goes past to the left.
53
22:18
Borré goes down in the penalty area after a slight contact with Goldson. All Frankfurters demand penalties, but that’s not enough for Slavko Vinčić to whistle. Even the VAR has nothing to complain about after a short check.
52
22:17
Again, the Hessians come out of the dressing room really well. The fans of the Bundesliga club can also be heard loudly again.
49
22:14
The SBU puts pressure on immediately! Lindstrøm’s shot from 16 meters is slightly deflected and just wide of the left of the goal! Really good chance for Eintracht.
48
22:13
Tuta takes heart from almost 30 meters and just pulls away. But his bounce goes a good distance to the left.
46
22:10
The second section is on! Both teams return to the pitch unchanged.

22:10
Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:55
Mid-term conclusion:
Then it’s half time! The Europa League final between Frankfurt and Rangers is goalless with a 0-0 in the cabins. From the start, Frankfurt were the more active team and also had the better chances. Kamada (12′) and Kostić after a counterattack (32′) had the most promising opportunities for the Glasner team. The Scots, on the other hand, increasingly waited for their chances in the transition game, but only came into play better towards the end of the first half. Nevertheless, the SBU defense was very stable over long stretches. With this result everything is still open for the second round. We are excited to see how things will continue after the change of sides. See you soon!
45
21:52
Kostić’s cross fizzles out without effect.
45
21:51
Shortly before the end of injury time, the Adlerträger get another corner.
45
21:49
Another conclusion for the Scots. Kent lets a pass through towards the edge of the box for Jack, who shoots from 20 yards inside the right. The ball goes just over the crossbar, Trapp does not have to intervene.
45
21:45
Due to Rode’s long injury break, there are six minutes more.
45
21:44
Official stoppage time (minutes): 6
42
21:44
Frankfurt is now a little deeper in their own half.
40
21:41
Five minutes until the break. Glasgow can open things up a bit in the final sequences.
37
21:38
Second finish of the game for the Scots. Trapp wipes Lundstram’s header from twelve meters over the crossbar with his fingertips.
36
21:36
The cross from Tavernier gets Frankfurt defended without any problems.
35
21:36
N’Dicka dribbles his own goal line against Kent. The ball jumps out of the goal and the Rangers get a corner.
32
21:33
Eintracht counters on the left side. Kostić dribbles forward alone from his own half and shoots from the corner of the box. The ball goes flat past the far post and out of the gate.
30
21:32
Good finish from Kostić, who volleys from 24 meters inside the right position. The attempt goes just over to the right.
29
21:29
The game continues with a goal kick from Kevin Trapp.
27
21:28
Immediately afterwards, the game is interrupted for a short drinking break.
26
21:28
Now the Scots have the first good finish! Aribo tries a flick from a central position of 22 meters, but puts the ball wafer-thin past the left post.
24
21:25
Eintracht Frankfurt has been the game-determining team so far and also comes to conclusions. There is not much to see from the Rangers offensively so far.
21
21:22
The following corner kick is also dangerous! The corner is played briefly to the edge of the penalty area to Lindstrøm, who fails to hit the ball with the shot. So N’Dicka gets the ball with his head, but just misses the ball.
20
21:21
Unity again! Knauff pulls into the middle from the right and tries to finish with his left from 14 meters, but McGregorg stretches and steers the attempt strongly around the left post.
17
21:18
Strong action from Lindstrøm, who ejects Bassey with a great hook on the left. But his cross is cleared by Goldson.
14
21:16
Glasgow’s prolific right-back Tavernier intervened offensively for the first time, but failed to find his cross. Touré confidently clears his head.
12
21:13
The SGE has the first good chance of the game. Kamada is sent into the box via the left but then waits too long to finish. So the Japanese is pushed too far to the outside and fails from an acute angle at McGregor. The Rangers keeper also has Sow’s follow-up shot from distance.
9
21:10
Frankfurt’s captain is back and has been put on a head bandage. With a fresh jersey from the sidelines, Rode seems to be able to continue. By the way, Lundstram got off without a warning.
7
21:08
Rode’s bleeding still has to be stopped. To be on the safe side, Jakić is warming up.
5
21:07
Lundstram unhappily catches Rode on the head with an open sole. Frankfurt’s captain suffers a laceration and needs treatment.
4
21:05
Aribo appears for the first time in Frankfurt’s penalty area, but Tuta and N’Dicka can clear with combined forces.
3
21:04
Swinging early minutes of the SGE, which collects a lot of ball possession here at the beginning.
1
21:01
The final is on! Frankfurt kicked off in white jerseys, Rangers are dressed in blue.
20:53
The final game will be led by the Slovenian team around referee Slavko Vinčić. He will be assisted by Tomaz Klancnik and Andraz Kovacic. VAR is Dutchman Pol van Boekel.
20:42
The weather could also be a factor tonight. In Seville it’s still almost 30 degrees just before kick-off. Who can play better in these conditions?
20:34
On the way to this final, both teams have already experienced memorable European evenings. From the point of view of the SBU, the 3:2 win at the Camp Nou near Barcelona is particularly noteworthy. In the semi-finals, the Glasner team beat West Ham United (2-1, 1-0). Glasgow, on the other hand, have already knocked out two Bundesliga clubs. Alongside Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16 (4-2, 2-2), Rangers beat RB Leipzig in the last four (0-1, 3-1).
20:25
Rangers FC shows just how seriously coach van Bronckhorst takes the game. Last weekend, the coach rested the entire starting XI in the league, but still won 3-1 against Heart of Midlothian. So there are eleven new players on the pitch today. It is exactly the starting eleven that celebrated the final against Leipzig at the beginning of May.
20:13
But Rangers from Glasgow also have an “incredible journey” behind them, as coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said before the final. Because in addition to the Europa League final, the Scots also have the chance to win the domestic cup. Here, too, the Rangers are in the final, which takes place on Saturday. Today, however, it is also about the great opportunity to qualify for the premier class, in which the winner of the Europa League automatically moves. “I’m very happy with the performance of my players in Europe. We’re not in the final by luck. We deserve it and I’m sure my players will give everything to win the trophy,” said van Bronckhorst.
20:04
Let’s take a look at the SBU lineup. Compared to the 2-2 win against Mainz 05 on the last Bundesliga matchday, Glasner made one change. Lindstrøm, who recovered in time, moves into attacking midfield for Hauge. Unfortunately, Eintracht still had to do without the injured defender Hinteregger in the final.
19:56
One of the biggest games in the club’s history is imminent for Eintracht Frankfurt. The atmosphere around the club has been immense for weeks, almost 40,000 to 50,000 Frankfurt fans are said to have made the trip to Seville. Even if they couldn’t get a ticket for the game, they at least want to be in town if Frankfurt has a chance at their first international title since 1980. “We are ready for the final and feel in great shape,” said SGE head coach Oliver Glasner. The 47-year-old also has a plan how the Hessians can crack the strong Rangers: “The decisive thing will be to get our strengths on the pitch: play fast, courageously, aggressively and defensively consistently.”
19:44
Welcome to the Europa League final, this year taking place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Seville. Eintracht Frankfurt or Rangers FC? Who will win this final? Kick-off is at 9 p.m.
