Eintracht Frankfurt win Europa League after dramatic penalty shootout against Rangers

Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 5-4 on penalties to lift the Europa League title and win their first European trophy in 42 years.

Eintracht goalkeeper Kevin Trapp saved substitute Aaron Ramsey's spot kick - Rangers' fourth - while Eintracht were flawless in their execution, scoring all five. The game had finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.

Joe Aribo had struck against the run of play in the 57th minute to give Rangers the lead, charging clear after a string of defensive errors and sliding the ball past Trapp.

The Germans, unbeaten in the competition going into the final and eyeing their first European title since 1980, bounced back as Rafael Borre turned in a Filip Kostic cross in the 70th minute.

The win also means Eintracht will be competing in next season's Champions League despite finishing in 11th place in the Bundesliga.

It was Rangers’ 19th game in Europe this season and Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s side now have to get themselves ready for the Scottish Cup final against Hearts at Hampden Park on Saturday.
