Despite the senior team losing 1-0, the youth side did their fans proud against the Belgians.
Bradley Burrowes, Ben Broggio, Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and Mason Cotcher (2) all scored for Villa, with Brugge also putting through their own net.
Josep Gombau’s 15th-placed side now have six points, while they only need to finish in the top 24 positions.
Much like the Champions League, this competition is a big group stage followed by knockout games.
