Minute-by-minute report: Will either team take control of this tie in Germany? Join Nick Ames.

Tonight they go again, in this not-particularly-new-fangled Europa League of ours – and they’re tantalisingly close to making history again. Back then, they edged past Fiorentina in the Uefa Cup, only to fall short against Zenit at the last. So at long as there are no disasters tonight, the Ibrox crowd may well be able to see them home next time out. Our players believe, they’ve trained well, they look very focused and we’re going to play in a great atmosphere against a good team. Nkunku goes down in the box as he tries to spin Goldson, but tumbles a bit too easily. Rangers’ fans have been making themselves seen and heard in town all afternoon, in tremendous number.

With Craig Dawson likely to be the only recognised centre-back available, David Moyes will probably go with the extra protection of a back three. David Moyes, ostensibly admired but still insidiously disparaged, doesn’t get nearly enough credit for creating what is surely, with a respectful nod to the Paolo Di Canio era, the best West Ham team since the Boys of 86. This is a great piece on Yeboah from the archive. (Don’t play silly buggers and start talking about the 1999 Intertoto Cup, not on a night like tonight.) And they haven’t played in a European semi-final since 1975-76, when - of all the gin joints - they beat Eintracht Frankfurt before losing to Anderlecht in a pulsating final. This has been a terrific response from West Ham, and inevitably the goal came from a high-class set piece. And yet my favourite moment is when he decided to climb atop a pile of guys in Munich. The bad stuff is always more memorable innit.” But if you want charm, romance, great stories and a refreshing lack of entitlement, the Europa League is where it’s at. The ball deflects off a West Ham defender and away from Borre. In the end he takes a touch and is dispossessed by Hinteregger. Antonio had very little time, but it was still a chance. 35 min Knauff, the 20-year-old on loan from Dortmund, looks a player. Cresswell stretches between Knauff and Areola to make a desperate, brilliant tackle, but Knauff is able to collect the loose ball. Borre runs 40 yards and then angles a superb through pass to Knauff, charging infield from the right.

It should have been a historic night in London. Instead, West Ham ceded advantage to a Eintracht Frankfurt side that again made its presence felt.

West Ham can avoid that fate in the second leg next week in Germany, but they have to cope with the occasion better than they did here. Instead of this being a famous night in West Ham's modern-day history, they have the ignominious honour of becoming just the third side to lose a Europa League semifinal first leg at home. "I don't know if it is the level -- the level of the games go up and maybe we don't quite have the quality at times required to be at this level," Moyes said. There was a lack of intensity in their defending, while going forward they never hit the exhilarating heights that have got them into this position. Moyes made six changes in West Ham's previous outing at Chelsea in an effort to keep preserve energy levels for this but they still rallied far too late in the piece. After almost 15 minutes of stabilising themselves in front of a capacity crowd fearing the worst, West Ham did improve.

West Ham had it all to do by the end. It was uncomfortable for West Ham. Eintracht simply had more to them. In the end the only consolation for West Ham was that they are still in the tie. The visitors were backed by a large travelling contingent and, more importantly, were not short of confidence on the pitch. This was their side’s first European semi-final since 1976 – through a strange quirk of fate, that was also against Frankfurt – and it was not a surprise to find the ground packed long before kick-off, the hairs on the back of the neck standing to attention when the home fans launched into a rousing rendition of I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles a the teams emerged. Eintracht Frankfurt were superior for long spells and, as David Moyes picks through a messy performance from his team, he will feel relieved that West Ham will have a chance of reaching the Europa League final when they travel to Germany next week.

West Ham's hopes of reaching a first European final for 46 years were dented in their 2-1 defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.

And all the pressure will be on the hosts in next week's decider. An early leveller would spark life back into the Hammers, yet they need to be much more precise and clinical to make that happen. It was not only the start of each half when Frankfurt posed West Ham problems, nevertheless. And after a 1-1 draw against Lyon, Moyes' men blitzed their way to a swaggering 3-0 win out in France to reach the last four. Keeping Frankfurt at bay will make things much easier in the second leg, as only a goal would be required to send the tie to extra-time and a 2-0 win would be enough to book their place in the final. The Hammers got off to the worst start possible in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie, falling a goal behind inside the first minute when Ansgar Knauff headed home after 49 seconds.

Eintracht Frankfurt are in control of their UEFA Europa League semi-final against West Ham thanks to a 2-1 first-leg win in London.

• No team has ever won a UEFA Europa League semi-final after losing the first leg at home. The subsequent 3-0 victory at Lyon was just the fourth win in their last 12 UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League games outside England (D2 L6), although those also include this season's group stage successes in Zagreb and Vienna. In each of their last two continental campaigns, in 2015/16 and 2016/17, they were eliminated in the UEFA Europa League qualifying phase by Romanian club Astra Giurgiu. Three teams have gone on to win the competition on their maiden appearance, the most recent another London club, Chelsea, in 2012/13. • Having won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/65, West Ham would reach the semi-finals, final and quarter-finals of that same competition over the next 16 years. • Frankfurt are participating in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals for the second time. • The German club's home record in the UEFA Europa League, including qualifying, is now W15 D7 L3, though they have won just one of the last six matches, against Olympiacos on Matchday 3, drawing their other four European home games this term. • Eintracht have won all nine previous UEFA ties in which they recorded an away victory in the first leg. • Eintracht's last European semi-final was against West Ham's city rivals Chelsea in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League, a tie they lost on penalties at Stamford Bridge after two 1-1 draws to make it four defeats out of four against English clubs in two-legged UEFA knockout ties. • The Hammers have lost three of the four previous UEFA ties in which they were defeated at home in the first leg, their sole comeback success against Metz in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup final (0-1 h, 3-1 a). The only previous tie in which they lost the first leg 1-2 at home was that 1965/66 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against Dortmund. The Hammers would go on to lose the final, 4-2 to Anderlecht in Brussels. • Eintracht have now qualified for the UEFA Europa League knockout phase on all of their four group stage appearances, notably reaching the semi-finals in 2018/19, when they were denied a place in the final only by that penalty shoot-out defeat against eventual winners Chelsea. They won all six of their group games that season – the only German club ever to achieve the feat – but managed just three this term, two against Olympiacos (3-1 h, 2-1 a) and one against Antwerp (1-0 a), in addition to three draws – 2-2 at home to Antwerp and 1-1 in both games against Fenerbahçe.
