Firstpost  

City streets filled with honking cars as strangers wearing Frankfurt scarves spilled out of pubs, embraced each other and celebrated together following Frankfurt’s first European trophy since the 1980 UEFA Cup Berlin: Eintracht Frankfurt fans waited long enough. When Rafael Borré struck the decisive penalty for Frankfurt to win the Europa League with a 5-4 shootout win over Glasgow Rangers in Sevilla, Spain, late Wednesday, thousands of fans who packed Frankfurt’s home stadium to watch in Germany flipped out. It was Frankfurt’s first European trophy since Fred Schaub scored the winner against Borussia Mönchengladbach to win the 1980 UEFA Cup, the predecessor to the Europa League. Frankfurt fans’ wait was cruelly extended through the drama of extra time and penalties after Oliver Glasner’s team failed to make more of several good early chances against Rangers.
