Nigeria duo Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo delivered on the big stage last night despite Glasgow Rangers losing out on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt in Europa League final in Seville, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The Super Eagles players distinguished themselves and it was no surprise that they were the most rated of all Gers players on a night the team fell short from the spot.
Joe Aribo 8/10
It looked like he might be the surprise hero. Unexpectedly continuing as the false nine, despite Kemar Roofe’s return from injury, Aribo pounced on Tuta’s slip to superbly convert a goal which will go down in Rangers’ history books. But not as a final-winning goal. It was his first strike in the competition this season. Talk about seizing your chance. Didn’t have it easy up against a physical Frankfurt backline for the rest of the game.
Calvin Bassey 8/10
Just beaten to the ball for Frankfurt’s equaliser but Bassey was Rangers’ standout performer in Seville. At just 22, Bassey produced a brilliant display, despite the pressure of the occasion. Clearances, one-on-one defending, recovery tackles, blocks… he did it all in a manner which suggests he will have more big nights like this in his career.
