36'
Liverpool think they have scored but the referee says the ball had gone out. Mane has two bites at the cherry with shots at goal. He then fights to keep the ball in play and hooks it back for Firmino to nod in. The flag is up though and the ball is adjudged to have gone behind.
34'
Gulacsi tried so hard to get back to stop that Robertson's shot that he hurled himself into the back of his own net and almost picked up as nasty head injury. He has some treatment, but should be fine.
32'
CLOSE! Robertson skims the top of the net with a 40-yard chip. Gulacsi had initially raced off his line to deny Mane a free run at goal, but was then almost caught out by Robertson's audacious effort.

CL LATEST: Barca 1-0 PSG. Messi from the spot.

Firmono latches on to TAA's tasty pass but his shot lacks the polish of his first touch.
26'

Mane leaps high into the air but can only nod over the bar from Firmino's cross. The chance came after Salah pinched the ball in Leipzig's half and played a few one-twos with Firmino down the right to open them up.
22'
Liverpool have been very bright in the first part of this half. Salah has looked very dangerous and there has been more pace to their attacks.

Sabitzer drills a right-foot shot from 25 yards towards the corner, but Alisson is down well to smother.

CLOSE! Gulacsi makes a crucial block with his face after Salah had surged on to Alexander Arnold's sublime pass and looked to finish with a dink.
14'
Salah threatens again. This time he bursts free on the left to pick up Thiago's raking pass. He cuts inside and looks for Firmino with a low ball into the box, but it's behind the Brazilian and Leipzig mop up.

Firmino meets the resulting corner but can't get enough purchase on it for the header to be deemed an attempt of any note.
