The adaptable right-back played brilliantly when he was used on the flank. FotMob reports that Sterling made five crucial defensive plays, had three touches inside the opponent’s box, and had 100% shot accuracy and tackle rate.

Just before halftime, he scored a goal that was well-deserved given his overall effort. The Rangers staff and players worked hard to help him enter the Benfica box undetected, and he put the ball home with ease.

Ferguson, in his Daily Record piece, expresses his continued amazement at Sterling’s intensity and passion for the game. Furthermore, the former Ibrox captain expresses how much he would have loved to have used the same changing room as the former Chelsea player.
Barry Ferguson on Dujon Sterling and penalties
Barry Ferguson started off by lamenting the penalty given against Rangers, calling the call “baffling.” He continued by praising Sterling’s individual performance before highlighting the Rangers’ tenacity.

Saying, “I must admit, I felt the same myself,” the 44-year-old spoke. I must admit that I felt a tiny bit let down by Rangers’ loss there. It probably didn’t help that they dropped their first two heartbreaking goals.

“John Souttar clearly headed the ball onto his own hand, so if that’s a penalty kick, then I’m afraid I have no idea what the rules are anymore.”

Furthermore, he prevented it from going out by deflecting it towards the goal with that action.
