A quiet opening half
The first half was very quiet, with Liverpool's only real chance coming from MacAllister's free-kick, which hit the wall. Como's best effort came when they passed through Liverpool really well and laid the ball off to Diao, who missed his kick completely.
A livelier second half
The second half was a bit more eventful, with chances from Chiesa and Munoz, an excellent one from Koumas, who won the ball back quickly and just slipped the ball past the far post, and right at the end Will Wright had a shot blocked that went out for a corner.
