The free-kick comes to nothing but Liverpool almost make something of the counter, Salah’s cross in cut out at the last minute by the defender.

Liverpool have their first corner of the game – Cakir punches away and Wirtz sees his ball in cleared, but Gravenberch does well to win another free-kick, this one after an Osimhen foul.

Both Szoboszlai and Lemina are okay to carry on. Yilmaz wins a free-kick on the right wing and is briefly down.

Galatasaray are still causing problems for the Liverpool defence but Konate does well to shepherd Sara off the ball and gives his teammates a break.

However, moments later the Frenchman misjudges a cross and fails to clear it! It falls to Osimhen in the area and he snatches at the effort, lashing it over the bar!

Liverpool win a free-kick at the other end in a dangerous position, but the ball ends up rolling to Cakir.

At the other end, Yilmaz fizzes in a lovely early cross but it just evades Osimhen in the box before Jakobs wins a throw.

CLOSE! This is a great save from Mamardashvili!

The cross comes in and Davinson Sanchez has a free header from the penalty spot.

He gets a clean connection and it looks like it’s flying into the corner but the Georgian ‘keeper makes a great stop, flying to his right to tip it past the post!

CLOSE! Almost a very lucky second for the hosts as Lang sweeps in a cross that Mamardashvili sees late, though he does well to get an arm to it and claw it away for a corner.

Liverpool try and mount a counter from the set-piece but Mac Allister ends up conceding a foul.

Liverpool have certainly settled now, and they look like they’ll cause the home defence problems, but Galatasaray clearly have plenty of ability in attack themselves, even if their defence looks shaky.

A long ball comes forward to Osimhen and he beats the ‘keeper to it but can’t keep the ball in play.

CLOSE! A well-worked move for Liverpool almost sees them get level!

They work the ball from Salah on the right and he squares it across to Mac Allister, who’s only a few yards out in a central position. However, he chooses to lay it off to Wirtz rather than shoot, and the German can only sting the palms of Cakir!
