Roger Assale: Ivory Coast forward inspires Young Boys comeback win over Rangers

Roger Assale inspired Young Boys to a 2-1 win over Rangers with his second-half leveller in Thursday's Europa League encounter.

The Ivory Coast international tapped in Ulisses Garcia's cross in the 50th minute to cancel out Alfredo Morelos' opener just before half-time.

Assale was later substituted in the 67th minute but Young Boys fought on to secure three points with Christian Fassnacht scoring a stoppage-time goal.

The triumph was Young Boys first win in the Europa League this season after losing to Porto in their Group G opening fixture a fortnight ago.
