Rangers receive a £1.5 million Europa League plan as Brazilian winger tears Benfica apart.

As FC Porto thrashes Benfica 5-0 at the Estadio do Dragao, Rangers receive a blueprint for the Europa League.

The Gers are scheduled to play the renowned Iberian club in an intriguing Europa League Round of 16 match this week when they travel to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

Rangers’ pre-match anxiety may have been eased, though,

by FC Porto’s spectacular five-goal rout of Liga Portugal opponents, who have proven to be a formidable opponent for Benfica.

Amidst a shocking weekend in Scotland, it appears that Portugal has also been shaken by some unexpected outcomes,

with Porto’s Brazilian-born winger Galeno playing a key role in the triumph.

A loss to Benfica would have eliminated FC Porto from the running for the Liga Portugal title,

which is currently dangling by a thread.

However, the Portuguese team stepped up to the plate and produced an incredible performance to destroy As Águias and completely upend the country’s championship race.

Brazilian winger Galeno scored the first goal after finding himself unmarked at the back post from a corner.

The attacker then scored the second goal in the six-yard box after taking advantage of some shoddy defending.

Ten minutes after the restart, Wendell, a fellow countryman of Galeno, made it three when his deflected effort went through the legs of Nicolas Otamendi,

the defenseless center back from Argentina, and into the goal.
