With so much football happening at once, it’s hard to stay fully focused on this match—especially with Denmark dubbing the night “goal-amok.”
After 25 uneventful minutes, Federico Chiesa wins a penalty, and Cody Gakpo calmly converts against his former club. But Liverpool’s makeshift defense crumbles, allowing PSV to equalize.
Chiesa strikes from distance, forcing a save, and Harvey Elliott capitalizes on the rebound to restore Liverpool’s lead. However, more sloppy defending lets PSV level again—and then take the lead before halftime.
In the second half, Arne Slot substitutes Gakpo, earning him warm applause from PSV fans in a rare wholesome moment. But Liverpool look out of ideas, and with little at stake, the match feels secondary to the night’s other action.
Things go from bad to worse as Amara Nallo, just four minutes after coming on, is sent off for a last-man foul, leaving Liverpool with 10 men. A frustrating, yet fitting, end to an eventful game.
