Rangers defender Leon Balogun thanked for ‘saving fan’s life’ in Seville

He wrote: "Thanks to @LeonBalogun for bringing us fans water last night when it wasn’t your duty. "Wouldn’t have survived the game if it wasn’t for you. @EuropaLeague have a look at yourselves." https://twitter.com/jamiefddonaghy/status/1527363749346254848 After a cagey first half in the final, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side grabbed the final's opening goal in the 57th minute through Joe Aribo. The Rangers man made the most of a defensive error and calmly converted from close range. However, Frankfurt hit back just 12 minutes later through Rafael Santos Borré, with the Colombian forward finding space in-between the Rangers defence. Neither team was able to find a winner in normal time, which forced the game to extra-time. Both teams pushed for a winner, but it was evident that both sets of players were physically exhausted. The clash went to penalties, with the spot-kicks taken in front of the Gers supporters. The shootout started well for Van Bronckhorst's men, but former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey - who came on as a substitute in extra-time - missed his penalty, which gave Frankfurt goalscorer Santos Borré the chance to win the final with his spot-kick. Balogun, who started on the bench, remained an unused substitute throughout the match. Related links:
