In the opening semifinal match of the European League 2021/2022, the RB Leipzig footballers held the Rangers 1-0 at home. The second representative of the German Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt, was also successful, triumphing 2: 1 at West Ham United.
The Rangers are fighting for their first participation in the finals of the European competition since 2008, when they lost in the culmination of the European League with Zenit St. Petersburg. In the previous phase, they eliminated Sporting Braga and in the eighth finals they defeated Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. They also held against Leipzig, which was missing for punishment by the trio Kampl, Orbán, Simakan, and this was evident in his game. The home team couldn’t get up to speed, neither team scored on goal in the first half.
After the break, Leipzig increased its turnover. Nkunku was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. Angelino was determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally.
Frankfurt, which surprisingly eliminated Barcelona in the quarterfinals, took the lead in London in the first minute. Borre found Knauff free in the center and the home goalkeeper just stared at his header. The “hammers” could have answered in the 14th minute, but Bowen only hit the pole. They managed to settle seven minutes later thanks to Antonia. However, the Eintracht players, whose victory was arranged in the 54th minute by the Japanese Kamada, are closer to advancing to the final.
With 79 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, a equalizer for a strike made by the keeper. Bowen was able to equalize at the set time, his joy was thwarted by the crossbar. Eintracht’s duel with West Ham was a rerun of the 1976 Cup Winners’ Cup semifinal, in which the English team succeeded, but did not reach the trophy in the final.
The retaliation is scheduled for Thursday, May 5 in Glasgow and Frankfurt.
