ANOTHER GOAL! RANGERS SCORE AGAIN!!
Roofe puts Rangers in front in this tie! It's Barisic on the left flank again who delivers an excellent cross to the far post for Roofe to nod in from point-blank range. As it stands Rangers are heading to the semi-finals!

Only 70 seconds on the clock and Tavernier puts Rangers level in this tie! Barisic's cross into the box is flicked on by Aribo into the path of the right back at the far post who slides in to finish past Matheus! What a start made by Rangers!

VAN BRONCKHORST'S THOUGHTS
"We can overcome this result," the Rangers boss told reporters. "Now we've played them once we have a better understanding of the opponent. It's a big game and we need a big performance from everyone, but I'm confident. Reaching the semi-finals would be a great achievement; it's a big night for all of us and we should enjoy it."

CARVALHAL: LETS ENJOY IT
"We don't have too many opportunities to play this kind of game," Braga coach Carlos Carvalhal said in his pre-match press conference.
"During the season we have two or three games like this. We have fought a lot to be here in this moment so let's enjoy it and do our best and give the maximum to try to go to the semi-finals. Everything is open, 50/50, we will see."
