Aston Villa’s substitute Jhon Duran scored its only goal to secure a home win in a surprising twist against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League game that was played at Villa Park.
Pau Torres made the first attempt for Aston Villa in the first half when he scored the first goal that was disallowed by VAR for offside, despite Bayern Munich leading in possession, but found it difficult to understand Villa’s counterattack.
Jhon Duran, who plays forward for his country, has scored five goals in the season. He scored after he was brought in as a substitute in the 79th minute when he utilized a nice through ball by Pau Torres as he played the ball over Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer.
The win for Aston Villa is to the credit of its goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who saved the home side by stopping the Bundesliga giant from earning any point through their shots, including a last-minute effort that saved a header from England’s forward, Harry Kane.
This win reminds viewers of the history made 150 years ago when Peter Withe scored a goal that earned Aston Villa a 1-0 victory against Bayern Munich in the 1982 European Cup final that was played in Rotterdam.
Aston Villa will return to its stadium, Villa Park, on October 22nd to play against Bologna after a 3-0 victory against Young Boys in their first UEFA Champions League match this season, while Bayern Munich will play its next game against Barcelona a night later, as they hope that they will bounce back from this defeat to secure a win against the Spanish giant after their 9-32 victory against Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener.
