Onyedika could have scored earlier had Atletico’s goalkeeper, Jan Oblak not been alert to pull off a fine save to keep out the Super Eagles’ midfielder’s long-range effort midway through the first half.
However, the visitors from Madrid doubled their advantage in first-half stoppage time, as Antoine Griezmann flicked on Marcos Llorente’s corner, and Lookman turned the ball home from point-blank range.
Brugge halved the deficit seven minutes after the restart thanks to Onyedika, after which Christos Tzolis’ brilliant angled finish ensured the aggregate score remained level before next Tuesday’s second leg in Madrid.
