Raphael Onyedika played a crucial role in Club Brugge’s impressive 2-1 victory over Atalanta in the first leg of their Champions League play-off clash.
The Nigerian midfielder featured for the full 90 minutes, while his compatriot Ademola Lookman missed out due to injury.
The match seemed destined for a 1-1 draw until substitute Gustaf Nilsson converted a last-gasp penalty in the 94th minute to hand Club Brugge a vital win. Ferran Jutgla had earlier put the Belgian side ahead in the 15th minute, but Mario Pasalic leveled for Atalanta just before halftime.
Elsewhere, Samuel Chukwueze came on in the 60th minute for AC Milan, but his side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord.
Igor Paixao’s early third-minute strike was enough to give the Dutch team the upper hand heading into the second leg at the San Siro next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Celtic in Scotland, while Benfica edged past AS Monaco with a 1-0 win.
