Atletico Madrid slumped to a surprise 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday thanks to late goals from Robert Andrich and Moussa Diaby. The Spanish side were left reeling after Leverkusen struck twice in the last six minutes to claim only their second win of the season and leapfrog Atletico into second in Group B.⏰ TUESDAY’S RESULTS ⏰👊 Late drama at Anfield and a big away win for Club Brugge! #UCL— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) September 13, 2022 Andrich had an early chance to give luckless Leverkusen the lead, smashing the ball over the bar from close range after just seven minutes. Atletico were unfortunate not to be given a penalty after an apparent handball from defender Edmond Tapsoba midway through the first half. After a brief discussion with the video assistant referee, English official Michael Oliver decided against a spot-kick, despite the replay showing that the ball had struck Tapsoba’s outstretched arm in the box. The hosts should have taken the lead shortly after half-time, but hit the woodwork twice within a matter of seconds.Patrik Schick hit the bar from point blank range in a one-on-one with Atletico keeper Ivo Grbic, before Adam Hlozek headed the rebound onto the post. Both sides had further chances to take the lead before Andrich and Diaby produced two smash-and-grab goals in the final minutes of the game. Andrich curled the opener into the bottom corner from the edge of the area on 84 minutes, before Diaby tucked in the second at the end of a brutal counter-attack three minutes later.In group B, Club Brugge demolished Porto 4-0 and made one of the most surprising results in today’s games. The Dragons believed that this evening was the night to show the wounds from the shocking defeat against Atletico, which Antoine Griezmann inflicted on them in the 11th minute of stoppage time a week ago, but they were wrong. Club Brugge came to Dragao tonight and demolished the Portuguese champions – 4:0. The Belgian champion has spent over 100 million euros on reinforcements in the last two years. The only reason that the Portuguese club did not win more than four points last season is the fact that he had to fight with the two richest clubs in the world – Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City. But so far this season, they have zero points in the group.🇳🇴 Antonio Nusa becomes the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history 👏Ansu Fati (17 years, 40 days) Antonio Nusa (17 years, 149 days) #UCL pic.twitter.com/SiFDUj35Il— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) September 13, 2022 Porto did not manage to come to their senses throughout the game, and the rare attempts were neutralized by Simon Mignolet. After the third goal, it was clear that after two rounds, Bruges will be the leader of the group with a maximum of six points. Admittedly, they had help from Bayer Leverkusen are sitting at the top of the table.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND 2TuesdayPlzen – Inter 0-2 (0-1)/Dzeko 20, Dumfries 70/Sporting – Tottenham 2-0 (0-0)/Paulinho 90, Gomes 90+3/Liverpool – Ajax 2-1 (1-1)/Salah 18, Matip 89 – Kudus 27/Leverkusen – Atl.Madrid 2-0 (0-0)/Andrich 84, Diaby 87/Porto – Club Brugge 0-4 (0-1)/Jutgla 15, Sowah 47, Olsen 52, Nusa 89/Bayern – Barcelona 2-0 (0-0)/Hernandez 50, Sane 54/Olympique Marseille (3.60) Eintr.Frankfurt 0-1 (0-1)/Lindstrom 43/Wednesday19:45: (1.37) Milan (5.10) Dinamo Zagreb (10.0)19:45: (3.25) Shakhtar (3.40) Celtic (2.35)22:00: (1.40) Chelsea (4.80) Salzburg (7.75)22:00: (1.48) Real Madrid (4.40) RB Leipzig (6.75)22:00: (3.60) Copenhagen (3.40) Sevilla (2.20)22:00: (1.25) Man.City (7.00) Dortmund (12.0)22:00: (2.10) Juventus (3.50) Benfica (3.80)22:00: (16.0) Maccabi Haifa (9.50) PSG (1.13)22:00: (4.60) Rangers (3.70) Napoli (1.85)***odds are subject to change***************************************************************************
