RB Salzburg enter the game!
Hwang gets himself into the box, then sensationally sends Virgil Van Dijk for a half-time beer with a lovely cut back inside. The finish is good too, but that was filth to do that to Van Dijk who is the best defender since time began...apparently.

43: Arthur, one of the most exciting midfielders out there, goes on a twisting and turning run and almost rounds it off with a goal. Barcelona have shown glimpses here.

It's been a blistering first 45 minutes at Anfield.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring against his former club - see the below fixture for standard lack of celebration.

it seems that Chelsea have found their level. That sounds harsh, but it's been a very even game.
Frank Lampard will be delighted to see the Abraham scoring machine roll on, his early goal was, however, cancelled out by Victor Osimhen's header from a corner.
Jorginho almost put the visitors back in front shortly before the half-time whistle, but could only watch as his shot cannoned back off the crossbar.
Ajax are beating Valencia 1-0 in the other game in this group, which suits the Blues.

50: Oh Adrian! He tries to pass the ball past Daka, who stretches a leg out and almost deflects it into the net.
That could have made things interesting.
