Thanks for your company - ta-ra.

19:22

Liverpool win 2-1 again! They meet Flamengo on Saturday, and the winners will be world champions!

19:22

Full-time: Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool

90+2'

Monterrey have given this everything and they immediately force a corner which Liverpool clear, then Layun drills a fine low cross into the middle, seeking Funes Mori ... but alisson pulls out because he realises it's just too strong.

90+1'

GOAL! Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool (Firmino) LIVERPOOL ONLY NEED ONE! Salah skates into the box beating one man, bumping another, and laying back for Alexander-Arnold, who feeds a luscious ball into the near post, where Firmino feathers a very deft touch into the net!

90'

There'll be three added minutes.

90'

Gonzalez comes on for the knackered Pizarro. Monterrey have given everything and they're feeling this.

89'

Alexander-Arnold's corner is headed away easily, but Liverpool recycle and Keita bursts into the box but his second touch is heavy and the ball runs behind.

88'

Alexander-Arnold smacks a ball into Firmino, who turns adroitly ... but not adroitly enough, and Sanchez gets back to concede the corner.

87'

Monterrey step it up now, Gallardo winning a corner down the left, but Henderson clears it without stress.

86'

Firmino replaces Origi.

85'

One of the reasons Liverpool find themselves in this situation is that they didn't strengthen in the summer. They're doing pretty well, but they could be playing better.

83'

My feed cut off for a second - apologies - but it's still 1-1.

Hmmmm. Monterrey remove Pabon, who's been great, and replace him with Roque Meza - you may remember him from the last world cup, in which he played for Argentina.

81'

And now Mane finds himself central, thundering a dig into Barovero's midriff.

80'

But maybe he won't have to! Alexander-Arnold whips in a trademark ridiculous ball, Mane collects on the leap ... but runs out of pitch.

81'

Klopp is going to find extra-time absolutely hilarious.

79'

Monterrey change: Layun replaces Montes.

78'

Oxlade-Chamberlain sweeps around Gallardo, who hacks him down and is booked.

78'

Pabon swings the corner out, and Sanchez heads wide.
