Match report
Aston Villa secured a 3-1 win for Aston Villa over Viking in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, October 21, finishing a match that stood at 2-0 at the interval with 3-1 on the final scoreline. The outcome establishes the result and the half-time position, but the available match details do not describe how the scoring developed, so the account is best kept to what the score confirms.
The match was played at Villa Park. The final score records a victory for Aston Villa, with Viking also scoring; it does not, by itself, establish when either side found the net or how the balance of play changed.
The numbers
Aston Villa scored three goals, Viking scored one goal, and the match contained four goals altogether. Those figures are consistent with the final score, while the half-time score shows Aston Villa already ahead at the interval. No individual goal times, scorers, or other match events are available to add to that account.
The scoreline gives a concise measure of the result: Aston Villa finished with more goals than Viking and won the match. The interval score confirms that the advantage was present by half-time, and the full-time result confirms it remained at the end. Beyond those facts, the figures supplied do not show the sequence of goals or provide a basis for claims about chances, possession, or performance in particular phases.
