Liverpool Vs PSV Eindhoven Live Score, UEFA Champions League: Reds Held 1-1 At Half-Time As Penalty Shouts Go Unanswered

Anfield erupts in boos as the referee waves away Liverpool’s penalty claims, with Van Dijk storming over for an explanation. Salah’s strike appeared to hit Perisic’s arm, but it looked just outside the box. Moments later, the whistle goes for half-time, leaving the home crowd frustrated. All square at the break.

Gravenberch looks for Gakpo with a lofted ball, but it’s overhit and Kovář gathers comfortably. Moments later, Ekitike drifts into the box, wriggling past defenders, but his deflected shot trickles harmlessly into the PSV keeper’s gloves.

So close for Liverpool! Van Dijk rises at the far post and steers his header goalward, only for it to crash off the underside of the bar — agonisingly unlucky. Perišić clears, but Liverpool stay firmly on the front foot as Gakpo slips Szoboszlai through. The Reds are in complete control now.

Liverpool hit back immediately! PSV cough up possession and scramble to recover, but the pressure is relentless. Gakpo squeezes off a shot that Kovář can only parry into danger, and Szoboszlai is perfectly placed to pounce. He steadies himself and rifles it home from the centre of the box.

Dest is all over the action, clipping Szoboszlai inside the box as Liverpool struggle to build any rhythm. The stats aren’t kind either: Liverpool have lost all six Premier League games this season after conceding first. They did turn it around against Frankfurt, but comebacks have been rare.

Right now, it’s all a bit flat from the Reds.

What a start for the visitors. Perisic steps up with ice-cold composure, sending Mamardashvili the wrong way and drilling his penalty into the bottom-right corner.

A nightmare opening for Liverpool, six minutes in, and they’re already chasing the game.

Saibari sneaks into space and releases a sharp effort that lands on the roof of the net, PSV are buzzing in attack and earn another corner as the pressure mounts. But suddenly, chaos for Liverpool. In the scramble, Van Dijk raises an arm while challenging, and the referee points straight to the spot. Anfield falls into stunned silence as PSV are handed an early penalty opportunity.

The match kicks off at Anfield with a burst of energy. Liverpool, in their iconic all-red strip, waste no time setting a high tempo, pressing aggressively from the first whistle. PSV, suited up in their dark blue alternate kit, respond with composure, matching Liverpool’s early intent and looking to build from the back. Both teams push forward with purpose, each trying to stamp authority in the opening exchanges.

These two sides know each other well on the European stage, having met seven times in the European Cup. Liverpool have dominated the matchup with five wins, while PSV have managed just one, and one fixture ended in a draw. Their most recent clash came last season in the league phase, where a fully rotated, already-qualified Liverpool side fell 3–2 in Eindhoven on the final matchday, a reminder that PSV can punish them if given an inch.
