The events of the match died down, and the Belgian Divock Origi was about to score the second goal for the Reds after a pass from Salah, but his shot went through the post after half an hour of the game.
The threat from the Danish first team came with a strong header from Guinean forward Suri Kaba, but Brazil’s Fabinho brilliantly dispersed it from the goal line in the 32nd minute.
And a minute before the end of the first half, local goalkeeper Hansen blocked a powerful shot from the Portuguese Jota, to maintain the result that gave the Reds a 1-0 lead.
In the second half, the Danish team threatened the Reds’ goal with force, first in the 49th minute with a double shot from inside by Mapel, but the ball was blocked by the crossbar.
In the 62nd minute, the owners managed to equalize via Schultz’s penalty spot, following an error by Liverpool goalkeeper Kevin Kelleher inside the penalty area.
The same player scored a goal taking advantage of defensive confusion in the Reds’ ranks, but was disallowed for offside after reviewing the video’s technique.
In the 89th minute, Takumi Minamino scored a goal that was disallowed by a hand from substitute Sadio Mane before scoring to maintain the equalizer.
Ajax x Atalanta
In the Netherlands, second-placed Italian Atalanta, last season’s dark horse, decided on a 1-0 European victory at the Ioann Cruyff Arena over Ajax.
The game remained negative until minute 79. The Ajax player Gravenbrich was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, and Ajax continued the game with 10 players.
A numerical shortage took advantage of the Italian team, snatching the three points and the qualifying card of Luis Muriel, who dodged the goalkeeper and deposited the ball in the 85th minute with the net.
against racism
In Group H, Paris Saint-Germain beat Turkish Basaksehir in a match that yesterday took another turn due to racism.
The match was stopped yesterday at minute 14, due to the racism of the fourth official against Pierre Weibo, the Turkish assistant coach (see details).
Before the game started at minute 14, there was a message of support to the Cameroonian coach in the stands at Princes Park, saying: “We are proud of the players. We are with you, Pierre, against racism.”
“We are with Mr. Pierre Weibo.”
“Proud of the players, against racism”.
“Paris is united against racism”.
