Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AFC Ajax and Liverpool FC is underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Daley Blind has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Liverpool FC that had 395 games and scored 670 goals.
- 20' Liverpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Liverpool FC is showing some good football. However, Liverpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' 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.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 42' What a strike from Mohamed Salah! The score is 0-1.
- 47' 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.
- 49' Goal! Darwin Nunez scores his 84 goal in 18 matches.
- 52' Goal! Harvey Elliott scores his 12 goal in 395 matches.
- 57' The travelling Liverpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 58' Mohammed Kudus is replacing Davy Klaassen for the AFC Ajax side.
- 63' Time for substitution for AFC Ajax. Brian Brobbey is replaced by Kenneth Taylor.
- 68' 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.
- 71' Another substitution for Liverpool FC to replace Harvey Elliott by Fabio Carvalho on 71 minute.
- 76' 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.
- 81' Jorge Sanchez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 85' Francisco Conceicao has so much to prove this time. He replaces Steven Berghuis on 85 minute.
- 87' The whistle greets Andrew Robertson as he departs to be replaced by Kostas Tsimikas.
- With this win, Liverpool FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
