Eintracht Frankfurt beat 10-man West Ham United 1-0 in their Europa League semi-final second leg to reach their first European final in 42 years with a 3-1 aggregate victory.

In front of a deafening 48,000 crowd, Rafael Borre drilled in the winner for the hosts in the 26th minute, beating the English club for a second time following a 2-1 triumph in the first leg last week.

West Ham, who played most of the game with 10 men after left back Aaron Cresswell was dismissed for a professional foul on Jens Petter Hauge in the 17th minute, were toothless throughout. Hammers manager David Moyes was also sent off in the 79th minute for angrily kicking a ball in a frustrating and scrappy end to West Ham’s European run this season.

The Germans, who last reached a European final in 1980, will face Rangers on May 18 after the Scottish side knocked out RB Leipzig.

33 mins: Borre tries to find some space inside the West Ham penalty area but Dawson is across to sweep up the danger.

West Ham hack it long and Bowen can’t keep hold of the ball.

This is the moment the visitors’ night became a whole lot more difficult...

Not a bad response from the visitors since the goal.

Rangers 2-0 RB Leipzig (2-1 on agg)

Incredible scenes in Scotland. Rangers have scored twice in the opening 30 minutes at Ibrox. Kamara has netted the second and they now lead on aggregate.

Remarkable.

29 mins: Is there any way back for West Ham? They need two goals to send this to extra time.

Antonio is slid through by Soucek but NDicka does well to come across and slide in to clear the danger.

GOAL! Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 West Ham (Borre, 26) (3-1 on agg)

26 mins: HUGE BLOW FOR WEST HAM.

It’s a lovely move from Frankfurt as they expose the space in the West ham defence. Knauff pulls the ball back for Borre to sweep home from 10 yards.

The home side are taking full advantage of the extra man. West Ham in desperate trouble.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 West Ham (2-1 on agg)

25 mins: West Ham are going to have to adjust how they envisaged playing. They would have wanted to take the game to Frankfurt but they are going to have to be smarter now - pick and choose when they commit men forward.

A reminder that the 10 men need to win the game to go through.

23 mins: SUB! Ben Johnson has replaced Manuel Lanzini. A response to the red card from David Moyes.

Meanwhile, West Ham earn themselves a corner and Pablo Fornals is pelted with cups as he tries to take it. Stupid behaviour.

The set-piece is swung in but Frankfurt clear.

Rangers 1-0 RB Leipzig (1-1 on agg)

Bad news for West Ham but good news for Rangers. Tavernier has given them the lead at Ibrox. They are all square on aggregate.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 West Ham (2-1 on agg)

21 mins: CLOSE! Kostic nearly adds insult to injury as he fires the subsequent free-kick just wide of the far post.

West Ham need to compose themselves. They have a mountain to climb now.

RED CARD! Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 West Ham (2-1 on agg)

19 mins: AARON CRESSWELL IS SENT OFF.

The referee ran over to the monitor and deemed Cresswell to have denied him a clear goalscoring opportunity. It’s sad to see for West Ham fans but it was the right decision.

The visitors are down to 10 men. Cresswell has been sent off for the second time in this season’s Europa League.
