The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 10 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving Pavlo Fornals completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side’s keeper.
Four minutes before the end of the first half, Artūrs Masuaku violated the rules in the penalty area, as a result of which Mohamed Salāhs entered the 11-meter mark and a moment later he was already celebrating a draw.
In the continuation of the match, another goal was scored in the 77th minute after the beat of Djogu Žota, but the judge watched the repetition of the episode and decided that there was a penalty before, so the result remained unchanged. It didn’t last long, because Jota himself stood out again in the 85th minute, this time the goal was scored.
