Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Liverpool FC is hosting AC Milan for another epic battle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alessandro Florenzi made 527 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 9' Goal! Trent Alexander-Arnold scores his 21 goal in 409 matches.
  • 13' The referee calls foul for Ismael Bennacer. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
  • 23' It looks surprising AC Milan does not make any changes. Theo Hernandez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' It looks like no one’s ball. AC Milan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 38' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ismael Bennacer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' Goal! Ante Rebic scores his 48 goal in 166 matches.
  • 44' AC Milan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Brahim Diaz on 44.
  • 49' What a strike from Mohamed Salah! The score is 2-2.
  • 54' Sandro Tonali needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 59' The travelling AC Milan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' AC Milan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' The whistle greets Alexis Saelemaekers as he departs to be replaced by Alessandro Florenzi.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Sadio Mane. He replaces Divock Origi on 63 minute.
  • 68' AC Milan is showing some good football. However, AC Milan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 69' Liverpool FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jordan Henderson on 69.
  • 71' Another change for Liverpool FC made on 71 minute. Diogo Jota leaves to be changed by Curtis Jones.
  • 76' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 83' Time for substitution for AC Milan. Ante Rebic is replaced by Daniel Maldini.
  • 84' Another substitution for Liverpool FC to replace Mohamed Salah by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on 84 minute.
  • 89' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
