Aston Villa captured his Champions League in the last 16-16 with a 3-1 victory at Club Brugge on Tuesday.
The electric start saw that Leon Bailey opened the scoring within the opening of three minutes, but Bruggge did not take long to respond because the maximum De Cuyper equalized things ten minutes later. This goal changed the tide of the game, and the hosts enjoyed most of their possessions in the whole.
Villa had to work incredibly hard during the rest of the match and received her prize in the 82th minute when Brandon Mechele rejected the cross Morgan Rogers out of his own goalkeeper, and the visitors were given a chance to put one leg in the next round when Christos Tzolis was in a box five minutes later.
Marco Asensio stepped up and, despite his skating while hitting the ball, shot in the lower corner of Simon Mignolet to seal a big victory for the Unai Emery side.
