German side takes win in thrilling final

Eintracht Frankfurt ended their 42-year barren run in Europe on Wednesday, beating Rangers 5-4 on penalties to lift the Europa League title in a final that will be remembered for the show put on by both sets of fans in a packed Sanchez Pizjuan stadium.

The German team fought back from being a goal down to bring the game to a 1-1 draw before a tense 30 minutes of extra time ended without further scoring. They were roared on by Eintracht fans that were outnumbered by the Scottish club's supporters — but tireless in Seville's 30-degree heat as the clock ticked past 11 p.m. local time.

Rangers and Eintracht fans had been piling into southern Spain's largest city over the previous few days. An estimated 150,000 fans arrived, the vast majority without tickets for the big game.
