PSG dominated possession early, but Liverpool shifted to a back-5 and held tough defensively big block in the. Dominik Szoboszlai came away with a big block in the 10th minute, but an unlucky bounce on a Désiré Doué shot in the 11th minute gave PSG a 1-0 lead.
That goal seemed to wake Liverpool up as high pressure from the Reds earned a corner. That corner nearly resulted in a goal, but Szoboszlai’s cross was palmed away by the goalie. At the half-hour mark, Alexis Mac Allister and Joe Gomez picked up yellow cards before Mamardashvili made a big save in the 36th minute to keep the deficit at 1-0 at halftime.
