Jhon Durán delivered a memorable moment at Villa Park, scoring the decisive goal that secured a 1-0 victory for Aston Villa over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, echoing their famous European Cup final triumph against the same opponents back in 1982.Bayern Munich started the match confidently, dominating possession from the outset. Joshua Kimmich orchestrated much of the play, but an early opportunity for Serge Gnabry went begging as his attempted cutback to Harry Kane didn’t come off. Aston Villa, showing defensive discipline, ventured forward with intent after 15 minutes when Kim Min-jae rose to clear Lucas Digne’s cross, preventing Ollie Watkins from capitalizing.UCL: The biggest scalp in Lille history – Real Madrid fall at Stade Pierre-MauroyWatkins was a constant thorn in Bayern’s defense, particularly troubling Dayot Upamecano, who received a yellow card in the 22nd minute for pulling the striker back. Villa thought they had taken the lead shortly after, when a free-kick routine resulted in Jaden Philogene setting up Pau Torres to poke the ball into the net. However, the goal was disallowed for offside. Things took a further hit for Villa as Jacob Ramsey was forced off with an injury, but they were let off when Gnabry missed a golden chance, firing wide after being played in by Konrad Laimer. Michael Olise then tested Emiliano Martínez with a curling strike, but the Villa goalkeeper made a superb save to tip it over the bar.Bayern’s last 42 Champions League group stage/league phase games:WWWWWDWWWDWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDWWLJhon Duran scores his fourth winning goal as a substitute in 2024/25 to end the streak. 🤯#UCL pic.twitter.com/oyh5SQXE8t— Squawka (@Squawka) October 2, 2024 Bayern brought on Jamal Musiala at halftime to add creativity, but Aston Villa’s defense, led by Torres, remained solid, with the Spaniard blocking multiple shots from Olise. Villa suffered another setback when Amadou Onana was substituted due to injury, but their defense stood firm, as Martínez continued to deny Bayern’s attackers, holding a Gnabry effort and stopping Musiala’s strike.Despite Bayern’s star-studded lineup, it was Villa’s substitute Jhon Durán who made the breakthrough. Latching onto a long ball from Torres, Durán left Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer helpless with a clinical finish. Martínez then produced heroics in the final moments, saving efforts from Gnabry and Kane to secure a historic victory for Aston Villa, who extended their unbeaten run to seven matches across all competitions. This win marked Villa’s second in the Champions League group stage and ended Bayern’s incredible 42-game unbeaten streak at this stage of the competition, as well as their first loss under Vincent Kompany.🚨🇪🇺 𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋 | Aston Villa 1-0 Bayern Munich | Jhon DuranWHAT A GOAL FROM JHON DURAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
