Tau was unlikely not find himself on the scoresheet on the night with a great effort which was saved by Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian team then found themselves with a goal lead after Dennis netted his second goal of the night however not long after Los Blancos' Sergio Ramos headed the ball into the back of the net for the Spanish side.

However the win wasn't meant to be as as Brugge were down to 10 men after captain Ruud Vormer was sent off and moment's later Casimeiro leveled for Real in the 85th minute. 

The result now leaves the former European champions progression to the next round in doubt.
