The Lisboners minimally defeated the Scottish club after a draw in the first meeting .
Portuguese Benfica of Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin defeated the Scottish Rangers in the return match of 1/8 Europa League final. The match at the Ibrox stadium in Glasgow ended with the score 0:1.
In the first game in Lisbon, the teams played a draw (2:2), and the fate of the return match was decided by a single goal scored.
In the 66th minute, Rafa Silva realized a one-on-one with the home goalkeeper after Angel Di Maria headed the ball to him in the center circle. The referees, using the VAR system, checked whether there was an offside and counted the goal, since at the time of the pass Silva was in his own half of the field.
Trubin entered the starting lineup of the Eagles and played the full match. At the beginning of the match, Anatoly almost missed a funny goal when he was unable to fix the ball, slippery from the rain, after his opponent hit the near corner. Fortunately, everything worked out well and the ball did not fly into the goal, but only for a corner.
