Coming as a guest to Liverpool’s Anfield stadium, Midtjylland caused a bit of surprise at the beginning of the match when they were the owners of the first opportunity.
In the 3rd minute, Dreyer accelerated through the gap between Robertson and Gomez to escape to catch Scholz’s long pass and face Alisson, but his shot was blocked.
Midtjylland caused many difficulties for Liverpool.
After the awkward first minutes, Liverpool rearranged their formation to bring the match into a tense situation, but their real chances were not many.
Just before the end of the first half, Alexander-Arnold had a cross from about 40 meters away that was within range of Minamino’s header as he crossed into the penalty area, but the Japanese player sent the ball out.
Jota opened the scoring for Liverpool.
In the 55th minute, Wijnaldum opened the ball to the right wing for Alexander-Arnold, who had a great rebound with Shaqiri.
After the defeat, Midtjylland was not discouraged and had opportunities to equalize.
Salah sealed the victory with a penalty kick.
After Dreyer missed the opportunity to face Alisson in the 90th minute, Liverpool was awarded a penalty immediately after when Salah was fouled in the penalty area.
