Eintracht Frankfurt was more aggressive than Rangers in the Europa League final, but lacked precision to break the tie. After taking advantage of a defensive error in the second half, the Scottish team started to take the lead. However, the 'Eagles' quickly reacted and equalized the game through Rafael Santos Borré.
The match was approaching the 69th minute and the 'Gers' were taking many precautions to defend themselves. Due to the disadvantage on the scoreboard, the German club was patient and had the opportunity to reach the area again with a dangerous cross sent by Filip Kostic from the left flank.
The clearance seemed unlikely as Connor Goldson approached to clear the ball, but surprisingly didn't put his foot on it. Rafael Santos Borré took advantage of that lack of concentration and managed to score: he anticipated Calvin Bassey's mark and scored the 1-1 with a shot towards the near post.
The experienced goalkeeper Allan McGregor stretched as much as he could, but couldn't prevent the goal. In this way, the Europa League final remains tied as it started and nothing is defined. If the score remains tied until the 90th minute, there will be extra time, and if there are no changes, there will be a penalty shootout.
It is worth mentioning that Rafael Santos Borré has scored four goals with the Eintracht Frankfurt shirt in the current Europa League, one goal away from the team's top scorer (Daichi Kamada). In addition, the Colombian has celebrated eight times in the 2021-22 Bundesliga, his first season with the club.
