Joe Aribo insists Glasgow Rangers will fire on all cylinders in their UEFA Europa League semi-final 2nd leg match against RB Leipzig next week at Ibrox after the German club got one on them in the first leg.
Megasportsarena.com reports that a late volley from Angeliño secured victory for Leipzig and a 1-0 advantage against a stubborn Rangers side that had two Nigeria players, Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey for the duration of the game.
Although disappointed with the outcome, Aribo believes the reverse fixture will go in Gers favour.
“All in all we are disappointed. We thought we could see the game out, but there’s still a big game to come at Ibrox. We wanted to stay compact and we did that for the most part until they got that goal late in the game.”
Leipzig had more of the ball in the first half, but their only chance fell to Christopher Nkunku, who was unable to get his shot on target.
The game opened up more after the interval and Ryan Kent sent an effort across the face of goal, before Nkunku’s well-struck shot was pushed away by Allan McGregor.
Nkunku then spurned a great chance to put his side ahead, running through the defence and getting past McGregor, only to send his effort high and wide of the unguarded target.
But just as it looked as though the match would end in a stalemate, the deadlock was broken when Leipzig’s only corner of the night was headed out as far as Angeliño, who returned it with considerable interest, out of McGregor’s reach and into the back of the net.
