In the 10th minute, Luis Díaz was fouled inside the area and the penalty was awarded. Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez took the penalty and wasted no time in tying the match: 1-1. Seven minutes later, Díaz put Liverpool ahead on the scoreboard for the first time, with a shot from inside the area. Reds comeback: 1 to 2.
