Rangers draw with Benfica

Tie is level at 2-2 after first leg in Lisbon

Rangers drew 2-2 with Benfica in their UEFA Europa League round of 16 first leg.

The Ibrox side opened the scoring after seven minutes when Tom Lawrence headed in from Mohamed Diomande's cross.

Angel Di Maria drew the home side level from the penalty spot after VAR ruled that John Souttar had handled in the penalty area but Rangers quickly regained the lead through Dujon Sterling seconds before the break.

Connor Goldson headed Di Maria's free-kick into his own net to leave the tie finely poised heading into next Thursday's deciding leg in Glasgow.
