(The Guardian) 53 min: Anfield comes alive for the first time this evening as a result of Liverpool’s increased intensity. Salah tries to dribble in from the right again, and once more ends up stumbling down a cul-de-sac. It’s not been his night so far. He’s not struggling exactly, but does look like a player who could do with a goal.
55 min: Liverpool are beginning to cause Inter a few problems now, though one goal would change everything. Perisic worms his way down the left with that aim in mind. He can’t get a decent cross away. The tension in Anfield is palpable, though the home crowd have finally found their voice in the hope of inspiring their team into a decisive heave.

(The Guardian) 59 min: Vidal spreads a diagonal pass wide left for Perisic, who controls delicately before making good towards the Liverpool box. He cuts back for Calhanoglu, whose low first-time shot is blocked by Robertson. Liverpool clear, but Inter come back again, and suddenly Martinez has the ball at his feet by the penalty spot. He’s got time to pick a spot, but scuffs a shot off Robertson and out for a corner.
60 min: The corner doesn’t beat the first man. But it’s a good response by Inter, this.
61 min: Calhanoglu leans back and hoicks a wild shot miles over the bar from the edge of the Liverpool D. The nerves are really beginning to jangle now.

(The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Internazionale (Martinez 61); agg 2-1Yep, the nerves are jangling now! Liverpool lose possession playing out from the back. Martinez is found, 25 yards out on the left. He takes a touch, and whistles a rising diagonal shot across Alisson and into the top right. What a goal!

(The Guardian) RED CARD: Sanchez (Internazionale)63 min: Just as Inter get themselves back into the tie, Sanchez picks up a second yellow for a studs-up follow through on Fabinho, catching the Liverpool man on the ankle. What a buffoon.

(The Guardian) 65 min: You know what, both of those yellows could have been reds. Sanchez has the brass neck to hang about and complain. He eventually takes his leave, along with Massimiliano Farris, one of Simone Inzaghi’s assistants, who has said too much for the referee to take.
66 min: Liverpool make a double change, replacing Thiago and Jones with Keita and Henderson.

(The Guardian) 68 min: Salah slides a pass down the right for Henderson, whose low cross is hacked hysterically clear by Brozovic. Liverpool are reasserting some control. What a strange back and forth in momentum this second half has taken.

(The Guardian) 70 min: Bastoni goes down after Mane catches him in the face. He wants a red but it didn’t look deliberate. The referee splits the difference and shows yellow.
72 min: The Liverpool press forces a corner, Handanovic failing to keep an overhit backpass in play. But the keeper punches the set piece clear. This is getting very frantic.

(The Guardian) 73 min: Brozovic, having been down to receive some treatment, continues to move rather gingerly. He might not last much longer.
75 min: Inter make three changes. Brozovic can’t continue, while Martinez and Dumfries are hooked. Gosens, Correa and Gagliardini come on.

(The Guardian) 77 min: Salah hits the other post! Having already smacked the ball off the base of the right-hand stick, he now meets Mane’s loop from the left, creaming a volley across Handanovic and off the left-hand post. He really connected with that one, but the frame saves Inter again.

(The Guardian) 79 min: D’Ambrosio brings a lengthy period of Liverpool possession to an end by barging into Mane. Free kick out on the left, and a chance to load the box. “I think your judgment of Sanchez’s foul (65 min) was a little harsh – that second was hardly even a yellow,” argues Ingo Herzke. “He played the ball and then tried to pull back. The first one was very mean though. So in the end well deserved.” Hey, it’s all about opinions, huh.
80 min: This is in danger of boiling over. Henderson very nearly connects with Pulisic, taking a wild fresh-air swipe at the ball. Pulisic responds with an incensed barge. The referee gets in between the pair, boxing style, before things can escalate.

(The Guardian) 81 min: Liverpool ping it around in the clock-management style. “What’s next for Salah?” wonders Peter Oh. “Crossbar challenge?” Don't tempt him, sir...

(The Guardian) 82 min: Jota and Keita get in each other’s way on the edge of the Inter D. Liverpool are pushing for an equaliser that would kill this tie, but they’re making hard work of it.
83 min: Inter make their final change. Vecino comes on for Calhanoglu.
84 min: Liverpool respond by replacing Jota with Diaz.
