Despite taking the lead two times throughout the game, Brighton hold Manchester City in a 2-2 stalemate at home.

Erling Haaland drew the first blood from the spot, which was canceled out only ten minutes later, through a blistering free-kick by Pervis Estupinan. Right before the break, Omar Marmoush produced a lightning strike, which put City ahead at the break. However, Brighton equalized only three minutes into the second half, as Hinshelwood's strike forced Khusanov to fire it into his own net. 

Following that, Brighton had a couple of chances, with Baleba missing a golden opportunity, but they fought well to snatch a point away from Etihad, intensifying the qualification race for the top four spots in the 2024-25 Premier League!

The race to qualify for the top four spot has just intensified!

Verbruggen is shown a yellow for delaying.

De Bruyne kept his free-kick low to the ground, as the ball rolled past every player inside the box but missed the far post by inches!

In: Matts Wieffer

Out: Carlos Baleba

In: Kevin De Bruyne

Out: Omar Marmoush

In: Simon Adingra, Brajan Gruda

Out: Karou Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh

This was definitely the best chance for Brighton in this game!

Mitoma powered a grounder from the left, which sailed past every other player inside the box but found Baleba right in the middle of the box.

However, the Brighton midfielder fired his strike inches over the crosspiece despite having only Ortega in front of him.

On a fierce counter-attack, Brighton came up with a good build-up, but Hinshelwood's strike from inside the 18-yard-box on the left only found the side-netting.

Nico Gonzalez attempted a free header from inside the six-yard box, but he only rattled the near post!

Golden opportunity for the hosts!

Doku beats Baleba on the edge of the corner line, but Doku's pass was quickly cleared away by the Seagulls' defence.

Silva was substituted in earlier, but seems like he has sustained an apparent injury and now he is making his way back to the bench.

In: Phil Foden

Out: Bernardo Silva

In: Yasin Ayari, Danny Welbeck

Out: Diego Gomez, Geoginio Rutter

Erling Haaland's header failed to generate the power he sought, as Verbruggen made an easy collection.

Can they pull off all three points for their respective sides?

Gvardiol's mindblowing forward pass from way down the left flank found Marmpush running in front of the penalty area. The winger fired into the box, but his quick chip was stopped by Verbruggen.

However, Marmoush was already flagged for offside.

Jeremy Doku is shown the yellow for a foul.

Diego Gomez unleashed a right-footed strike from outside the box, but it sailed inches past the left post.

In: Bernardo Silva

Out: Savinho

Ilay Gundogan's long-ranger from outside the box was well-blocked inside the opposition box.

Baleba found the ball at the edge of the box following a mispass from Savinho, but his right-footed strike soared past the left-post.

Minteh's dangerous cross was denied by Gvardiol at first, but the following corner was headed in by Webster into the six-yard box, and Hinshelwood's strike bounced off Khusanov and entered the goal!

Brighton equalizes for the second time this evening!

Unluckily, the goal will be counted as an own goal by Khusanov.

Van Hecke seemed to be in discomfort, but he is now fine after receiving medical attention. The game has resumed.

An error from Ruben Dias led Joao Pedro to collect the ball in an open front of goal, but his left-footed grounder sailed just inches past the right post!

Very close for the Brighton marksman.

Absolute brilliance from the Egyptian youngster!

Gundogan's swift square found Marmoush right in front of the 18-yard-box, and netted an absolute banger as his blistering right-footed strike rattled te back of the net, leaving no room for Verbruggen!

City leads yet again!

Haaland chipped the ball swiftly in front of Gundogan, but the German midfielder's half-volleyed strike went past the far post.

Webster's header following a corner was denied by Haaland in front of the goal.

The following attack was carried out by Minteh, but his left-footed curler sailed past the far post.

Erling Haaland makes more Premier League history 👏

Savinho sprinted into the box from the right, but took second before taking a strike, but van Hecke executed a perfect tackle to deny the strike.

Jeremy Doku made a sublime run on the left before delivering a cross into the box, but Haaland's first-time strike from the middle of the box went way over the crossbar!

Baleba is shown Brighton's third yellow this evening for a foul.

Verbruggen quickly stretched his right foot on the ground to deny a grounded strike by Savinho who struck it from close to the six-yard box.

Oh my word!

What a free-kick from Estupinan!

From close to the 18-yard-box, Estupinan unleashed a powerful left-footed free-kick which rattled the left post and drifted back into City's net!

Game on!

Karou Mitoma is booked for a foul on Savinho.

Savinho received a booking as well for time wasting.

Joao Pedro is shown a yellow.

Haaland registers his 100th goal contribution in his Premier League career!

The Norwegian Machine also scores his 21st goal this season!

Haaland netted it through the bottom-right corner with a powerful grounder from the spot, leaving Verbuggen on the other end.

City leads!

Haaland played the pass to Marmoush running upwards on the right, as he is taken down inside the box by Adam Webster, and referee Simon Hooper signalled for a penalty!

Marmoush entered a penalty from the left before unleashing a strike, but Jan Paul van Hecke blocked it well.

That was a brilliant link-up play from all the way down the middle, which was headed in by Mitoma while charging against Lewis. Although Ortega failed to catch the ball,  it rolled inside.

However, the VAR review decides that it was a foul by Mitoma on Lewis, as the goal will not stand.

Mitoma beat Lewis on the right and lodged a low cross into the box, that was almost met by a triggering Joao Pedro inside the box; but the shot soared off target.

The match is underway at Etihad!

This is it for this game.

Hope you enjoyed the Live match.

We will be back very soon with another Champions League Live.

Good Night, Stay Tuned!

A night of pure drama at the Metropolitano ended with Real Madrid emerging victorious from the penalty shootout after Atletico Madrid’s early blitz set the stage for an unforgettable battle.

Conor Gallagher shocked the visitors with a goal just 30 seconds in, catching Real cold and sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Atletico pressed high and dominated the first half, suffocating Ancelotti’s side and refusing to let them settle.

Real grew into the game after the break, with Vinicius Jr and Bellingham pushing forward, but Jan Oblak stood tall, denying several key chances. Atletico, too, had their moments to seal it, Griezmann’s curling effort came agonizingly close, but neither could put the tie to bed.

Extra time was a war of attrition, both sides running on fumes. Real nearly snatched it late, with Rodrygo striking the post, but penalties became inevitable.

In the shootout, nerves ran high. Real Madrid’s resilience shone through — Rüdiger, Mbappé, Valverde, and Bellingham converted with ice in their veins. Atletico faltered, with Álvarez and Llorente missing their crucial spot-kicks, while Lucas Vázquez uncharacteristically blasted his over for Real.

In the end, it was another classic European night for Los Blancos — battered, bruised, but never beaten. Atletico, brave and brilliant for large spells, are left heartbroken, knowing they were inches from glory.

Real Madrid march on, proving once again why they are the kings of Europe.

Atletico Madrid: Sorloth takes the penalty, and he scores

ATM 1-0 RMA (AGG. RMA 2-2 ATM)

What a blistering start at the Metropolitano! Conor Gallagher, the surprise inclusion in Diego Simeone's XI, wasted no time making his mark — smashing the opener past Courtois just 30 seconds in. Atletico came out like a team possessed, fueled by the electric home crowd, and Gallagher’s early strike set the tone.

Real Madrid, stunned by the rapid goal, struggled to find their rhythm. Vinicius Jr and Bellingham had flashes of brilliance but were largely kept quiet by Atletico’s well-organized, tenacious defense. Simeone’s side has been relentless off the ball, pressing high and forcing mistakes in midfield.

Carlo Ancelotti will demand more urgency from his men after the break. With their UCL hopes hanging in the balance, Los Blancos need a spark — and fast — to avoid crashing out.

It’s all set up for a blockbuster second half. Can Real Madrid fight back?

Reinaldo's dangerous looking cross brilliantly cleared by Valverde.

After scoring the goal, Atletico is now defending with 10 men, Real Madrid is finding space to score the equalizer and take the lead again.

With Atletico keeping their defense tight, Real Madrid is holding on to the ball and pushing in for the equalizer, finding the right time to attack and level the scoreline

The tie is level already in just 30 seconds after kick off, Callagher scores the opener for the hosts.

TOURNAMENT: UEFA Champions League R016 Second Leg

VENUE: Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid

TIME: 1:30 am IST

DATE: 13-03-2025

Club Brugge had a lot of things to do away from home and they were already running behind the game when Kyriani Sabbe received the direct card in the 17th minute of the game.

However, Villa were not able to take advantage of that until Unai Emery made the substitution in the second half. 

Marco Asensio came and made it look easy to score two goals while Ian Maatsen scored one to hand Aston Villa a 3-0 lead which was enough for them to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1982/83 season.

Villa now have become the 9th Premier League team to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League era. 

They will face Unai Emery and Marco Asensio's former club PSG in the quarter-finals.

Marco Asensio, on loan from PSG, could face his old team PSG in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25.

In a night like this Marcus Rashford would love to be on the scoresheet and score that first goal for Aston Villa.

Tielemans with a fine effort from the outside of the box. Mignolet had to dive to his left to deny him.

Disasi replaces Cash.

Vanaken gets the yellow card for a foul on Cash.

Cash was on target this time with a shot from outside the box. 

Mignolet was ready for that though.

Marcus Rashford with the assist this time. 

Rashford with a brilliant run and cutback for Asensio to put it to the back of the net with a sliding left-footed shot. 

Aston Villa 3-0 Brugge (6-1 agg)

Romero, Skóras, Nilsson and Nielsen came in for Club Brugge. 

Rogers produces lovely footwork before playing the ball across the area for Maatsen to tuck away.

Aston Villa 2-0 Club Brugge (5-1 agg)

Marco Asensio hits the right post with a left footed shot from the centre of the box

Asensio latches on to a ball over the top from Tielemans and, one-on-one against Mignolet, sees his low strike rebound off the base of a post.

Aston Villa 1-0 Brugge (4-1)

Mignolet makes a save as Mings was on target.

Club Brugge were fluid throughout the first half despite being down to 10 men.

0-0 at half-time and 3-1 on aggregate for Aston Villa. Although they did not look that great, they are in a commanding position and it would take a lot from the visitors to make it interesting in the second half. 

3 minutes have been added as the injury time. 

A bit rusty from Rashford as he volleyed one at the side of the net.

He is back though and no changes from the home team.

The English footballer is still outside the field as the referee resumes the play. He was limping though. 

Ollie Watkins has gone down. He is getting the medical attention.

Watkins has enough space to make a run. He passed the ball to Cash, who was tangled down by the Brugge defenders. 

Rogers then made a cutback to Maatsen, who went for a curling shot but missed the target completely. 

Easy grab for the Argentine goalkeeper. 

Talbi, the 19-year-old star tried to thread in a dipping ball from the outside of the box with his left foot. 

He has dropped a bit low to fill in the void made by Sabbe. Still, he has managed to make good runs and create some chances. 

Ordóñez was sharp to go around Waltkins to stop him from making the final move inside the box. 

Tzolis, Onyedika and De Cuyper have been solid for Brugge so far. The trio have been able to thread the ball inside the final third and also send some quality cross across the ground. 

Tielemans takes the free-kick and gets it over the the false wall. 

But, Mignolet was ready for the challenge and make the save. 

A direct red card for Sabbe. 

A long ball from Martinez for Rashford and Sabbe, who could not stop Rashford with his pace, brought the English striker down. 

Club Brugge are now down to 10 men. 

First view of Rahsford tonight. He had the chance to chip the ball over the incoming goalkeeper. 

But, Mignolet was quicker getting the ball before Rashford could do any damage.

Bright opening 10 minutes from the boys from Belgium. 

De Cuyper with a cut back from the left and Onyedika had a go at the goal with a powerful shot. 

But, Konsa came between to block the shot. 

Good start from the visitors here. 

A good cross from the left by De Cuyper, and Vanaken had the chance to find the net with a header. 

His header went left to the post. 

The first shot of the game comes from the visitors. 

A mistake from Matty Cash allowed Sabbe to go for the goal with a left-footed shot from outside the box.

He missed the target though.

The home fans chant "We shall not be moved" as both teams wait patiently for mistakes from the other team. Club Brugge enjoyed more possession of the ball so far.
