00:00Only just above the line between qualification and elimination, though you would not have guessed it from the way they passed the play-off test, beating Italy's Atalanta home and away.
00:21Away we go.
00:25Lots of talk about the meeting four months ago.
00:30It was a very tight affair in that crazy moment when Mings thought that Emi Martinez hadn't restarted the game with a goal kick and he just picked the ball up.
00:40He's on the ball there, the number five, in the other half of the ground, in the other penalty area.
00:47That's a free kick to Villa, just noticing that Zassi looks as though he's playing at right-back with Konza in the middle of the defence.
01:03Reunited with Mings.
01:09Looking to get off to a good start here.
01:11And they have done just that.
01:13In with a superb finish is Leon Bailey coming from the right but very left-footed.
01:22Well, they failed to score in 90-plus minutes here in November.
01:27It's taken them less than three to find the back of the net here against Club Brugge.
01:33Mickey Hyde looking on angrily, really.
01:39Brilliant beginning for the club from the Premier League.
01:42Yeah, Shari.
01:43Oh, the head of Zassi.
01:44Oh, it's an equaliser.
01:45Steered in by De Kaipa.
01:46That's the way to hit back.
01:47Oh, Villa hang their head.
01:48And Unai Emery can hardly contain his shock.
01:51Here's Solis.
01:52Oh, the head of Zassi.
01:53Oh, the head of Zassi.
01:54Oh, it's an equaliser.
01:55Steered in by De Kaipa.
01:56That's the way to hit back.
01:57Oh, Villa hang their head.
01:58Oh, Villa hang their head.
01:59And Unai Emery can hardly contain his shock.
02:09Here's Solis.
02:12Sets it up for De Kaipa.
02:13The left-back arriving.
02:15It's a lovely pass.
02:17Beautifully weighted and just flipped into the bottom corner.
02:20Maxime De Kaipa taking maximum advantage of the chance.
02:28Well, there were plenty predicting a tight,
02:33maybe attritional game here.
02:39We can whip it in.
02:41And the chances for Talby!
02:43A good stop by Martinez.
02:45It looked as though it was heading into that far corner
02:48from the youngster who's been in red-hot form here.
02:53But look at this save.
02:58That's why he's rated, if not the best in the world,
03:04certainly amongst them.
03:11Asking for better protection.
03:12And he would probably want that.
03:24That's a very good shot from Rafael Oni Dica.
03:29No-one really wanting to over-commit,
03:34but maybe it's a chance now for Villa to get numbers in the box.
03:38Oh!
03:39And it was Marco Asensio and that drop of cash
03:42and two substitutes very nearly putting Aston Villa back in front.
03:48Marco Asensio named after the great Marco van Basten.
03:56They had to put a van Basten finish together and then cash was wild.
04:05Here's Shari Day.
04:07They do look good when he strides through midfield.
04:09Also when Solis gets wide here, having set up the goal.
04:12It's a fine cross.
04:13And he, I was going to say, set up another one.
04:17Van Aken thought he'd put that in the bottom corner.
04:21It was a brilliant cross.
04:23And that's what I say about him scoring goals, getting into the positions.
04:28Did Mings touch that?
04:30And I've had another embarrassing moment in this penalty area.
04:33I think he did.
04:34I think it just came off his laces.
04:37And so it was a good touch.
04:38It was a brilliant touch as it turned out from that angle.
04:41So, so close.
04:43They didn't get the corner that they should have had.
04:46There's a lot of equaling out, really, levelling out.
04:50And here's a chance for Solis, a great chance.
04:53It's a really, really great chance.
04:56And he knows it.
04:58And that touch from the captain sent the Greek international
05:01into a situation where you'd fancy him to score.
05:06Top scorer this season.
05:08It's not been a great Champions League campaign for goals from him.
05:14Coming up with a painting.
05:17But then you get something like that.
05:20Mekkela, own goal.
05:21Dreadful.
05:26Dreadful moment for him.
05:28And for Club Brugge.
05:34The quality down the right-hand side.
05:36Mignolet left helpless by the touch from the defender.
05:41Who obviously was fearful of who and what was waiting behind him.
05:44Played in by Rodgers.
05:48Looking for Watkins.
05:50But he didn't need Oli Watkins.
05:53Because Brandon Mekkela found the back of his own net.
06:00It's an awkward one.
06:02And it's a penalty.
06:04It was very awkward.
06:06And Cash was caught.
06:08So it's all going wrong.
06:10It was Solis who had that chance to make it 2-1.
06:13And now his misjudgment could make it 1-3.
06:17And this would send Villa home in raptures, really.
06:21If Deloney can convert it.
06:23He does just.
06:25It just doesn't matter.
06:27It's in.
06:29Mignolet went the right way.
06:31And from 1-1.
06:33And looking as though the home team were more likely to just create an advantage for the second leg.
06:40Aston Villa, in a way, have been blessed.
06:44The kind of goals that you probably don't expect to get.
06:48Certainly not two in such quick succession.
06:51And after the own goal, the successful penalty from Marco Asensio.
06:57Who is really making a flying start to his time in the colours of Aston Villa.
07:04It's no longer 1-1.
07:07But here's a chance for De Kuyper again.
07:09Set up.
07:11What an opportunity.
07:14For Vettelsen.
07:18Probably his first touch.
07:23De Kuyper picked him out well.
07:24Keep it down.
07:25It just bobbled a tiny bit.
07:28Cut out by Dinia.
07:31Again.
07:33Another hoofing ball away.
07:35Trying to run through some traffic there and risk losing possession.
07:42On the edge of the defensive third for Aston Villa.
07:46Jacob Ramsey.
07:48They're in great spirits.
07:49They don't care how the goals were scored.
07:55And loving the Champions League.
07:57Aston Villa.
07:59And they've got what will look fantastic for those who just read the results and haven't seen the game and won't know the story.
08:06But very much in it.
08:09Van Auken with a chance at 1-1.
08:11And setting up a chance for Scolis.
08:35The most possible.
08:36I'll keep going.
08:37To be clear at 2-1.
08:38And all those who just read up.
08:39They're going to be so good.
08:40They're going to be so good.
08:41To be clear at 2-1.
08:42And then the white man fish.
08:43And then the one who just gave up.
08:44It wasç…™ed.
08:45And then the one who just began to be so good as the the or-1.
