The team of Liverpool can go moderately pleased with his first game against Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals of the Europa League. English reached 1: 1 "westfalenstadion" which gives them some advantage before the second leg next week.
The surprise decision of Jürgen Klopp to bet on Divock Origi in attack against his former team work, he is precisely the young Belgian scored important away goal. After the break "yellow and black" took the familiar weakness of the British in static situations and Mats Hummels equalized. The only bad news in an otherwise not so bad no match for the "red" was the injury of their captain Jordan Henderson, who was replaced by Joe Allen at the break.
First played were surprisingly calm, as was demonstrated that Borussia will try to monopolize possession of the ball. Gradually compressed into half its Liverpool began to gasp and in the 17th minute only Mamadou Sakho prevent goals. Julian Weigel shone with a long pass on the diagonal, while Marcel Schmelzer jumped out of the second position in the box. He immediately tried to shrink back to Henry Mhitaryan last from shooting to unprotected door before Sacco to shed and prevent.
Liverpool replied almost immediately. In the 21st James Milner execute a free kick in a wonderful way, but Dejan Lovren appeared unmarked a meter or two in front of goal area. Croatia shoot powerful in reach of the goalkeeper, followed nasty collision head to head between them.
Borussia could punish cruel mistake of his opponent in placing the ball in the 31st minute. Then inaccurate back pass allowed Aubameyang to gain momentum left. Gabonetsat entered the penalty area and tried to find Royce, but Sacco was again last barrier.
Quite surprisingly shown against Liverpool the lead in the 36th. Alberto Moreno gave a nice pass to Milner in half the Germans and the Englishman continued to head between Łukasz Piszczek and Sven Bender. It is they crept Divock Origi who, though hit by Bender shoots measured on the diagonal and opened the scoring.
In the next 2-3 minutes the hosts were in slight shock and conceded several dangerous attacks, but all missed. The sequel to the first part, however, offer more emotions - first Marco Reus is the rebound in melee in the goal area and Minyole had to kill his punt over the bar. There was a mistake Weigel half of Borussia in which three players of Liverpool he took. While the hosts claimed a foul belching out alone against Vaydenfeler. The veteran took the right decision and darted forward and the young Belgian from shooting in his body.
The advance of the "red" very quickly was liquidated after the break. Borussia played a short corner kick right on the attack, but Mhitaryan rolled the ball in front of goal area. There Hummels fight and hit the ball hard headed by Simon Mignolet could do better with its action proved to be irrelevant - 1: 1.
With 52 minutes Vaydenfeler once again proved to be the hero of "bees" as a series of three fantastic saves. First difficult Philippe Coutinho of up to 12 meters routine and poor defensive clearance Dortmund ball came to Nathaniel Klein. From about 25-26 meters Englishman inflict severe beater on the diagonal, which Vaydenfeler again handle. Koutinyo came first to a rebound off nutmegging Pishchek and again made a precise shot. This time the Brazilian do it right into the body of the keeper.
In the minutes after Borussia fully seized the initiative, while Liverpool are increasingly visible forced to defend deep in their penalty area. Attacks on Mhitaryan, Royce and Shmeltser on the wings portend danger, but the hosts could not reach more than a few stirring.
