  • 94'
    FT: Liverpool 1-3 Borussia Dortmund. That's that here in Charlotte! Liverpool were the better side for long spells, but they came unstuck following the introduction of Christian Pulisic in the second half, with the American scoring twice and teeing up a third to hand his side the victory.
  • 93'
    GOAL! DORTMND! BRUUN LARSEN! 1-3! It's the Pulisic show! The American jinks inside his man from the byline down the right and tries his luck, but whilst Karius saves his initial effort, he can only parry it into the path of Jacob Bruun Larsen, who slams the loose ball into the top corner, despite being hauled down by Gomez in the process.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de B. Dortmund en el 89'
  • 89'
    GOAL! DORTMUND! PULISIC! 1-2! So simple! Schmelzer leads a counter down the left and feeds Pulisic in the middle and he takes a touch before rifling home low into Karius' bottom right-hand corner from the edge of the box to surely win the game for the Germans.
  • 88'
    Alberto looks for Keita in the middle but some good tracking back sees his delivery intercepted before it can reach the Guinean.

    CHANCE! Gomez meets Milner's corner form the right but his header is easy for Hitz to gather.
  • 85'
    Gomez's cross from the right is deflected behind by Zagadou.
  • 84'
    Hitz shows impressive composure to play the ball out from the back despite being practically on his own goal line.
  • 81'
    Naby Keita has looked impressive in his brief time on the pitch for Liverpool, full of energy and intent.
  • 77'
    CHANCE! Moreno meets a cross from deep on the left but he can't prod his first-time effort beyond Hitz.
  • 75'
    Keita's low cross from the left somehow doesn't drop for anyone before Woodburn's effort on the turn is comfortable for Hitz to gather.
  • 74'
    Dortmund go on the attack but Pulisic and Bockhorn both fail to find the target with their passes and the chance is lost.
  • 70'
    The two sides break off for a water break to combat the sweltering temperatures on the ground here.

de B. Dortmund en el 66'
  • 66'

  • 61'

  • 59'
    Sturridge drags a low effort a couple of yards wide from 25 yards.
  • 56'

    Jadon Sancho has attempted to get on the ball a bit more in the last couple of minutes but he is receiving possession far too deep to be any real threat.

    A promising Dortmund attack ends with a cross-cum-shot being fizzed in from the right by Wolf but Karius just about deals with it.

  • 33'
    Markovic drives forward and slips in Robertson but his attempted cross is blocked behind for a corner, which is cleared.

    Lallana is lucky to avoid a booking for a rash challenge in the middle of the park, whilst Sancho's delivery from the resulting set-piece is beyond poor and skids behind without getting a touch.
