The English side controlled much of the match and took the lead through Emiliano Buendía, who opened the scoring with a composed finish after a fast attacking move. Villa continued to press forward and doubled their advantage when Youri Tielemans struck from midfield to put the Premier League side firmly in control before halftime.
