Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Anfield. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' James Milner, a England central midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' KRC Genk have won 528 goals from 316 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 14' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Georginio Wijnaldum makes it 1-0.
- 19' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Felice Mazzù will be considering his options from the bench.
- 22' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jhon Lucumi.
- 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 32' 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 Joakim Maehle suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' Both keepers have barely been tested. Liverpool FC and KRC Genk are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' Mbwana Samatta has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 40 minutes.
- 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Liverpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 50' It’s high time Jurgen Klopp made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 53' Against the run of play, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 58' Joe Gomez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 63' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Theo Bongonda made 194 appearances and scored 62 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 68' KRC Genk make a change. Junya Ito trudges off to be replaced by Dieumerci Ndongala on 68 minutes.
- 73' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 74' It is a substitution in Liverpool FC team. Naby Keita is replaced by Andrew Robertson on 74 minute.
- 75' Sadio Mane is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the 75 minute mark.
- 80' Liverpool FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 83' The referee has no hesitation. Casper De Norre is booked for KRC Genk — Yellow card on 83.
- 85' A tactical swap from KRC Genk — Theo Bongonda on, Patrik Hrosovsky off on 85 minutes.
- 89' The Liverpool FC bench stirs into life. Divock Origi is withdrawn and Roberto Firmino gets his opportunity.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for KRC Genk.
