Rafa Silva scored the only goal against Rangers to see them exit Europe

Rangers were so close to causing a Europa League upset against Benfica, but Rafa Silva’s goal in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie was enough to send the Portuguese side into the quarter-finals.

The Scottish Premiership side had kept their opponents at bay until after the hour mark, but a superb counter attack from a Rangers corner saw Silva smash home.
