Already in the fourth minute, Bergvall came forward on the right flank and played the ball in front of the goal against Richarlison. Villarreal's goalkeeper Luiz Junior threw himself but failed to grasp the ball, which bounced like a soap over him and into the goal.

The 18-year-old celebrated "his" goal but did not get it noted – it was counted as an own goal.

Tottenham, who have not played in the Champions League since the 2022-23 season, did not manage to score any goals at home, but did not concede any either.

Bergvall is in very good form right now. Just three days ago, he scored both a goal and an assist when Tottenham beat West Ham (3–0) in the Premier League and he was named player of the week in the English top league in football.

In stoppage time, Bergvall had to leave the pitch.

Another Swedish national team midfielder, Daniel Svensson, played in Dortmund's 4–4 match against Juventus. Dortmund led 4–2 until four minutes into stoppage time when the home team first reduced the lead and two minutes later equalized to 4–4.

Real Madrid defeated Marseille 2–1 after Kylian Mbappé scored the winning goal on a penalty in the 81st minute.
