Rodolfo Arruabarrena scored after the break to give Villarreal a 1-1 draw with guests Rangers and lift his side to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Arruabarrena's finish in the 49th minute cancelled out a Rangers' early lead through Peter Lovenkrands.

The result left the aggregate tie 3-3 but the Spanish side advanced due to the away-goal rule as they scored twice in Scotland.

Lovenkrands opened the score line in the 12th minute when he poked home on the rebound after the home keeper parried a shot from parry Buffel into his path.

Villarreal grabbed the equalizer when Rangers defense and keeper failed to clear Diego Forlan's neat cross that Arruabarrena sent home.
