Jürgen Klopp will not be happy with his Liverpool and no wonder. The faint image of ‘red’ allowed Toulouse to take revenge (3-2) after being more superior throughout the match. A match that ended in controversy, as the British equalized in the 97th minute but the goal was disallowed by Mac Allister.
In truth, Liverpool don’t know how they got a chance on the scoreboard. In attack, with the ball, the only obvious choice is to start. Gomes, in approach, sent it to the crossbar and that was the end of the English offensive production.
Slow and with little judgement, the complete opposite of a Toulouse who has things clear and when he smells blood he doesn’t stop. The signal that Tsimikas lost the ball coming from behind for Donnum to score the first (36′) was a premonition of what was to come after the break.
Dallinga, disallowed a goal for a foul on Matip, returned to the taste of scoring against a full Liverpool team a few minutes later (58′) and the Frenchmen had yet another disallowed, this time from outside the game.
The game was so much in Toulouse’s favor that just one mistake could change the situation slightly and that’s what happened. Liverpool scored, though it was Cristian Cásseres with his own goal (73′). However, César Martínez’s men did not let themselves be intimidated and Magri immediately regained the double advantage (76′).
In the end, Liverpool turned their attention and thanks to their individual talent they were able to aim for a draw, although it never came. Diego Jota scored a great late goal (89′) and now, with the team down, Quansah, in the last minute put a short-lived 3-3 because VAR called the referee, who disallowed the goal because in Mac Allister’s past handball.
