On This Day
Villa fall to a late penalty in Portugal to carry a deficit into the second leg at Villa Park.
Villa face Vitória Guimarães for the first time in competitive football, Vitória become the 127th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football, Villa’s 14th continental European opponents and their first from Portugal.
Tony Barton's Villa suffer a surprise defeat in the UEFA Cup and fail to score for the first time this season as they narrowly lose at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques thanks to an over-generous referee and soft penalty.
