Brighton make history in first ever European match after rocky start 👀 | OneFootball

History was made at the Amex on Thursday as Brighton play in their first-ever European match.

Unfortunately for the Seagulls, the mood was quickly dampened in front of the home fans.

Roberto De Zerbi’s men have been one of the most improved sides in English football over the calendar year but were made to pay for switching off against AEK Athens.

Djibril Sidibé blasted his header home beyond Jason Steele only 11 minutes into Brighton’s European debut.

In comparison, they have conceded only seven times in the Premier League over five games.

However, the celebrations kicked off all over again when the club finally scored their first goal in the European competition since being founded in 1901.

João Pedro stepped up to the penalty spot and cooly pulled things level to signal to the visitors it’s game on!
