A breathtaking goal from Jhon Duran secured a famous 1-0 victory for Aston Villa over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, 42 years after the Midlands club famously triumphed over the German side in the 1982 European Cup final. Coming off the bench, Duran produced a moment of magic to break open a tense game and send the Villa Park crowd into a frenzy, as Unai Emery’s side delivered yet another upset against one of Europe’s footballing powerhouses.
The Colombian forward netted his fifth goal of the season spectacularly in the 79th minute, latching onto a superb through ball from Pau Torres. Duran's clever lob over the advancing Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was executed perfectly, leaving the six-time European champions stunned. The goal capped off a brilliant performance from Villa, who managed to withstand Bayern’s relentless possession while threatening constantly on the counterattack.
Earlier in the match, Villa thought they had taken the lead when Pau Torres found the back of the net, but a VAR offside ruling denied them the opening goal. Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, created plenty of opportunities, with Harry Kane coming close to leveling in stoppage time, only to be denied by a heroic last-ditch save from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
This victory mirrored Villa’s iconic 1-0 win over Bayern in the 1982 European Cup final, where Peter Withe’s goal brought the Midlands club their greatest triumph. After a 3-0 victory over Young Boys in their opening group-stage game, Aston Villa now sit in a strong position, with their next Champions League fixture at Villa Park against Bologna on October 22. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will aim to bounce back when they visit Barcelona the following night, after thrashing Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in their first group-stage match.
