US EditionClub Brugge Equalise Late to Force 3-3 Home Draw with Atletico Madrid
Club Brugge recovered from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 3-3 draw with Atletico Madrid after a late VAR-confirmed goal by Christos Tzolis, securing a tied first leg in the playoff.
- BRUGES, Feb 18 — Club Brugge's Christos Tzolis scored an angled strike in the 89th minute, initially ruled out then confirmed after VAR, to salvage a 3-3 draw in the Champions League playoff first leg.
- After an early incident, Atletico opened the scoring in the eighth minute as Julian Alvarez converted a penalty confirmed by VAR, and Ademola Lookman added a second on the stroke of halftime.
- Early in the second half, Raphael Onyedika finished from close range to pull a goal back, then Nicolo Tresoldi scored at the near post after an Onyedika-led build-up involving Mamadou Diakhon.
- With 11 minutes remaining, Marcos Llorente's low ball led Joel Ordonez, Club Brugge defender, to score an own goal in the 79th minute, but the tie stays even ahead of the return leg in Madrid next Tuesday.
- Played in rainy conditions, the match featured moments such as a corner that led to Lookman's goal and a late strike from Tzolis from Onyedika's cross, leaving the tie finely balanced.
