Minamino entered the penalty box and received an embolus pass to score a non-stop shot to the net. Minamino became the second Japanese to score multiple goals in the UCL since Shinji Kagawa (then Dortmund). He also tied for first in UCL overall goals with four goals each other. Minamino assisted Magnes Akliuse with a long pass in the extra time of the second half.
