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.

18 mins: OH CRESSWELL IS LUCKY! Should he have been sent off there?

A long ball over the top sees Hauge give chase and in desperation Cresswell brings him down on the edge of the area. He was the last man but the referee has only given him a booking.

Hang on though, the referee is going over to the monitor...

12 mins: Hauge plays a short corner to Kostic who gives it back to him. He sends a first-time cross towards the back post but puts too much on it and Fabianski can watch it drift out for a goal kick.

Pretty even start to this match. Both sides with periods of possession, albeit without creating any chances.

6 mins: Hinteregger is off the pitch receiving treatment but it looks like his night is over already as Frankfurt prepare to make a change. A few dumbstruck home supporters. That is not what they would have wanted to see in the opening minutes of this game.

West Ham try to find Antonio with a long ball through the middle but it zips through to Trapp. The visitors have started this well.

4 mins: Soucek nods the corner down and Fornals tries to come onto it but Frankfurt scramble the ball away.

The boos are deafening every time the West Ham players get on the ball. Likewise, the roars are incredible when the home side win the ball back.

Oh dear. This could be an issue for Frankfurt. Their centre-back Hinteregger has asked to come off after seemingly pulling his hamstring during a foot race with Antonio.

Whistles ring out as West Ham get on the ball for the first time and earn themselves a corner.
