Liverpool hoped to recover this evening (Tuesday) from the defeat to Napoli in the opening round, when they hosted Ajax at Anfield for the second match of the group stage of the Champions League.
The English did start well when Mohamed Salah scored for the first time after four games to make it 0:1 after 17 minutes, but Ajax have a new star who found the equaliser.
Muhammad Kudus, who two years ago was seriously injured in the meeting between the teams, sent a bomb into Alison's connections ten minutes later and made it 1:1.

It ended with a difficult but important 1:2 for the English runner-up.
