City knew they had to win to avoid crashing out of the competition they won just 18 months ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But their first half was disappointing. There was no urgency, no attacking threat, and no shots on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/tag\/club-brugge\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/tag\/club-brugge\/\">Club Brugge<\/a> took advantage.

The Croatian midfielder dribbled through Brugge\u2019s defense and struck a brilliant equalizer. The Etihad erupted.
