Brilliant Angelino winner gives Leipzig edge over Rangers
A superb Angelino volley grabbed RB Leipzig a 1-0 home win over a dogged Rangers side in their Europa League semi-final, first leg on Thursday.
The Spaniard powered home a sweet left-footed strike five minutes from time at the Red Bull Arena to breach Rangers' stubborn defence.
Leipzig had struggled to break the deadlock as Rangers restricted them to just 10 shots despite boasting 70 percent possession.
The Germans will be looking to reach their first European final - in Seville on May 18th against either Eintracht Frankfurt or West Ham - in next Thursday's return game in Glasgow.
However, this was a below-par display from the hosts, who had a 15-game unbeaten run ended last Saturday when they conceded two late goals at home to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.
Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco started with a three-man attack of Dani Olmo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Christopher Nkunku, with both Andre Silva and Yussuf Poulsen left on the bench.
