Aston Villa traveled to face Brugge in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League. A rather controversial situation occurred in this game.

Early in the second half, Brugge scored a penalty to take the lead. However, the penalty itself sparked controversy. The goalkeeper passed the ball to a defender Tyrone Mings, who thought the play hadn’t resumed yet and picked up the ball, intending to retake the goal kick. However, the referee awarded a penalty.

Hans Vanaken, midfielder for Club Brugge, confidently converted a penalty, marking Aston Villa’s first conceded goal in this season's UEFA Champions League.

Ultimately, this penalty decided the outcome, with the match ending 1-0 in favor of Brugge.
