John Lundstram turned the ball in with 10 minutes remaining to give Rangers a 3-1 win on the night and a 3-2 aggregate victory over RB Leipzig
final. Leipzig will be sore about that given their prominence at the time of Lundstram’s intervention but the truth is Rangers’ effective football prevailed.. Leipzig had been frustrated and blunt for long spells of that first leg tie, with Monday’s Bundesliga defeat to Börussia Monchengladbach adding to a sense Rangers may be meeting Domenico Tedesco’s team at the right time.
Leipzig used the earliest exchanges to suggest the carrying of a threat on the break, without posing any challenge to Allan McGregor in the Rangers goal. The hosts provided ruthlessness where the Germans could not, sending Ibrox into raptures when doing so.Photograph: Ian MacNicol/Getty Images Leipzig, so strangely for a team that plays at such a high domestic level, were dazed and confused. Dani Olmo missed the target with their first opportunity of note. Willi Orban headed wide from Angeliño’s free-kick.
Aribo had been removed from proceedings seconds before the break after suffering a head injury. His replacement, Fashion Sakala, connected with a Kent cross within five minutes of the restart but watched his header drift beyond Gulácsi’s left-hand post. The good news for Rangers was that Leipzig had still failed to test McGregor with an hour played. Tedesco grew increasingly and visibly agitated.
