Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Liverpool FC to score. At the same time, AC Sparta Praha does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Liverpool FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 7' What a strike from Darwin Nunez! The score is 1-0.
- 8' Goal! Bobby Clark scores his 1 goal in 409 matches.
- 10' What a strike from Mohamed Salah! The score is 3-0.
- 14' Goal! Cody Gakpo scores his 93 goal in 436 matches.
- 19' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 24' 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 Indrit Tuci suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AC Sparta Praha needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 39' The travelling AC Sparta Praha supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 42' What a strike from Veljko Birmancevic! The score is 4-1.
- 46' Filip Panak is replacing Matej Rynes for the AC Sparta Praha side.
- 48' Goal! Dominik Szoboszlai scores his 40 goal in 222 matches.
- 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AC Sparta Praha that had 46 games and scored 68 goals.
- 55' GOAL! Cody Gakpo scores on 55. Assisted by Harvey Elliott
- 58' Another change for AC Sparta Praha made on 58 minute. Qazim Laci leaves to be changed by Lukas Sadilek.
- 63' Liverpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
- 65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jarell Quansah on 65.
- 66' Virgil van Dijk is replacing Jarell Quansah for the Liverpool FC side.
- 67' Indrit Tuci is replacing Veljko Birmancevic for the AC Sparta Praha side.
- 72' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ladislav Krejci, as he is very good at scoring at Anfield with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 74' Mateusz Musialowski has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bobby Clark on 74 minute.
- 75' Another substitution for AC Sparta Praha to replace Markus Solbakken by Patrik Vydra on 75 minute.
- 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
- 85' Conor Bradley has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Liverpool FC players.
