After breaking the Atalanta at the playoffs, Brugga continued on the rise after he straightened things up and launched more chances to take the lead to Villa Park next week.

Club Brugge Vs Aston Villa
Villa scored the first opportunity in the game while Bailey met Knockdown Tyrone Mings from the free kick of the Yourai Tielemans with the top first end of Simon Mignolet and in the corner of the lower right.
Marcus Rashford then denied Mignolet because Villa sought to double her advantage, but soon they came back, and goalkeeper Emie Martinez may be guilty.
Christos Tzolis was collecting the ball wide on the left and had the time and space to select De Cuyper, whose left leg shot had enough to beat Martinez’s outstretched hand.
Martinez redeemed himself with a fine savings from Chemsdine Talbi to preserve parity while Brugge became trust before halftime.
Frustrated Unai Emery made four changes in the 64th minute in an effort to return the momentum, and only the reflexes of Mignolet prevented one of Villa’s replacement, Matty Cash, to bring them back in front.
But Brugge continued to dictate the procedure, and Hans Vanaken saw a distant header in some way to scatter before Tzolis exploded high, wide and not very handsome after playing clean on the goal.
Brugge ultimately paid the price for their profileability because Mechele showed a much higher top -notch advantage, though at the wrong end.
Inadvertently, in the 82th minute, he turned the brilliant cross of Morgan Rogers outside the desperate Mignolet.
Even worse was six minutes later when Asensio shot in the lower left corner from 12 meters after Tzolis had overthrew the money with an awkward challenge.
Crestfaned with their late collapse, Brugge had the opportunity to correct balance in the time of injury. However, the replacement Hugo Vetlesen summarized the dippm evening for the hosts when he flammated to ensure that Villa would go back to Midlands with a potentially decisive advantage with two goals.
