Club Brugge - Aston Villa, 6 Nov 2024
The match played on 6 November 2024 at Jan Breydelstadion in Bruges was the fourth fixture of the 2024/25 Champions League group stage and brought a surprising end to Aston Villa's perfect start in the competition. Club Brugge hosted their English rivals in a clash that ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for the hosts thanks to a controversial penalty in the second half. For the first 45 minutes, both sides played cautiously, with neither team managing to create a clear-cut chance, meaning the teams went into halftime level at 0-0.
The breakthrough came in the 52nd minute under highly unusual circumstances. Tyrone Mings, making his Champions League debut, bent down to pick up the ball from a throw-in, but referee Tobias Stieler ruled that the Englishman had handled it and awarded a penalty to Club Brugge. Home captain Hans Vanaken stepped up and confidently beat Emiliano Martínez to give his side a 1-0 lead.

The game finished 1-0, meaning Club Brugge claimed a valuable European victory while Aston Villa suffered their first defeat of this Champions League campaign. For Mings, it was a particularly painful debut, as his mistake directly led to the goal, whereas Vanaken became the match hero by scoring the only goal of the game. The win gave the hosts important points in their battle to progress to the next phase of the competition.
