Liverpool are quite overwhelmed by Ajax’s aggressive pressure. Berghuis experiment at 16 ‘still on the side. Moments later, Jorge Sanchez’s hard kick from the front of the penalty area could still be secured by Alisson Becker.
Liverpool have started to find the rhythm of the game. Andy Robertson’s cross in the 29th minute tried to be grabbed by Mohamed Salah with a volley but still hit the Ajax defender.
Robertson escapes from the left and receives a through ball from Roberto Firmino. He tried to direct a direct shot, instead of delivering a shot pass, and his effort went to the side of the net.
Almost Liverpool conceded a goal in the 36th minute. Joe Gomez’s rebuff hits Ajax side and becomes an opportunity for the hosts, with Steven Bergwijn on the right. Dusan Tadic’s cross was found free on the left and his shot was blocked by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Harvey Elliott experimented from outside the box in the 41st minute. Still easy for Remko Pasveer.
