Rangers denied Europa League semi final path clue as Atalanta and RB Leipzig slog it out

Rangers potential semi-final Europa League final opponents Atalanta and RB Leipzig played out a draw in their first leg.

Gio van Bronckhorst 's men are gearing up for the first leg in Braga as they look to continue their European adventure.

Going into the game in Portugal, Rangers know that if they can navigate their way into the semi-final stage they will face either the Serie A or Bundesliga side.

But they haven't been offered any clues after both sides impressed in their quarter-final.

A moment of brilliance from Luis Muriel separates the side going into the second leg.

The forward cut in from the right flank and shrugged off the challenges from the home defence, before unleashing a thunderbolt into the top corner.

Having struggled in the first half, Leipzig looked like a different team in the second half.

Referee Michael Oliver pointed to the spot, but the hosts couldn't manage an equaliser after Juan Musso dived to his left to save André Silva's penalty before stopping Will Orban's header with his feet.

However, from the following corner Orban would put the ball into the net to level the game with a deflection off of Atalanta man David Zappacosta.

It's all to play the second leg at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.
