Filip Kostic, Sebastian Rode, Djibril Sow and Ansgar Knauff played in midfield, with Almamy Toure, Tuta and Evan N'Dicka in defense.

Glen Kamara, Ryan Jack and John Lundstram started in the middle of the park, with Borna Barisic, Calvin Bassey, Connor Goldson and James Tavernier in defense. Both sides had ample chances to score in the first-half but could not find the back of the net as the half ended 0-0. The second half started in the same vein, with both sides coming close to breaking the deadlock. Joe Aribo finally opened the scoring for Rangers in the 57th minute after taking advantage of a mistake by Tuta at the back. The defender's slip led to the Nigerian racing towards goal and slotted the ball into the bottom-left corner. This did not deter Frankfurt, as they continued to pile on the pressure. The pressure finally paid off in the 69th minute when Borre got between the two Rangers centre-backs and latched on to Kostic's cross to poke the ball home.
