Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Liverpool FC gets underway.
- 5' The referee has no hesitation. Amadou Haidara is booked for RB Leipzig — Yellow card on 5.
- 6' Nordi Mukiele was booked on 6.
- 11' Liverpool FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 16' Sadio Mane is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Liverpool FC so far.
- 21' A quiet spell here at Puskas Arena. Liverpool FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
- 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 515 games and scored 727 goals.
- 36' 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 Trent Alexander-Arnold suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Nordi Mukiele has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' Turkey international Ozan Kabak has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Liverpool FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 52' Poor challenge from Christopher Nkunku. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 53' What composure from Mohamed Salah! The Egypt international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 58' Sadio Mane doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 63' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 64' A tactical swap from RB Leipzig — Willi Orban on, Nordi Mukiele off on 64 minutes.
- 65' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Angelino.
- 66' Controversy at the stadium! Angelino argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 68' Ozan Kabak is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
- 72' It is a substitution in Liverpool FC team. Thiago Alcantara is replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on 72 minute.
- 73' RB Leipzig manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hwang Heechan is hanging Kevin Kampl on the field on 73 minute.
- 76' Poor challenge from Dani Olmo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 81' Jordan Henderson catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 81.
- 86' It looks like no one’s ball. RB Leipzig is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Neco Williams. He replaces Mohamed Salah on 90 minute.
- The final score is 0-2.
