PSV Eindhoven 3-2 Liverpool
Oh no!
The free-kick comes to nothing and Caoimhín Kelleher has to race back to get to his goal.
He's not going to make it and the hopeful shot comes in from midfield but the Liverpool keeper breathes a sigh of relief as it hits the side netting.
That would've been some conclusion to the game.

Liverpool lose perfect group-stage record in five-goal thriller
A much-changed Liverpool finished top of the Champions League league phase despite losing their 100% winning record after defeat to PSV Eindhoven in a five-goal thriller.
Liverpool, who had won their opening seven matches, led twice in the Netherlands before conceding twice at the end of the first half in their eighth and final game.
But Barcelona's failure to beat Atalanta meant Arne Slot's team finished top on 21 points, two ahead of their nearest rivals.
In an action-packed first half, Cody Gakpo put the Reds ahead from the penalty spot in his home city against his former club after Joey Veerman had fouled Federico Chiesa.
Johan Bakayoko equalised after a lovely turn and finish, before Harvey Elliott restored Liverpool's lead after Chiesa's attempt had been parried into his path.
But goals by Ismael Saibari and Ricardo Pepi condemned the current Premier League leaders to their first defeat in Europe this season.
Liverpool finished the match with 10 men after substitute Amara Nallo was shown a straight red card for an 87th minute foul on Bakayoko.
With the Reds already guaranteed a place in the last 16, Slot rested many of his first-team players before Saturday's crucial Premier League game at Bournemouth.
And the Dutchman suffered just his third defeat in his 35th game in charge of Liverpool as Dutch League leaders PSV finished 14th in the 36-team table to clinch a play-off place.
Liverpool's last-16 opponents will be the winners of a play-off involving Paris St-Germain, Benfica, Monaco and Brest.
Reds rest stars as Nallo dismissed on debut
Liverpool's Nallo will 'learn' from red card on debut - Slot
Despite defeat, Liverpool finish top of the league phase and can now concentrate on domestic matters - where they are top of the Premier League, in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup fourth round - before their next European game in March.
With Liverpool and Barcelona finishing first and second respectively, the two clubs cannot meet until the final.
Mohamed Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold were among those given the night off as Jayden Danns became the youngest player ever to make his first start for Liverpool in a European Cup/Champions League game at the age of 19 years and 13 days.
Danns was one of four players aged 21 or younger to start while Trey Nyoni, 17, and Nallo, 18, came on as substitutes.
Nallo will not forget his senior debut in a hurry.
He lasted three minutes and 46 seconds, with the young defender managing just two passes before he was sent off.
"It is cruel but he has never played first team football before and to make your debut in the Champions League is probably the hardest," said Slot.
"A career isn't always positive, it also has negatives and he has to make sure he plays in this competition again."
Despite the result and Nallo's red card, Liverpool march on and are sure to wheel out their main players when they next play in the competition in the first week of March.
Amara Nallo's red card was Liverpool's first in the Champions League since September 2017

Match Facts
PSV have never beaten Liverpool in six previous attempts (D1 L5), the joint-most times they have faced an opponent in major European competition without ever winning (D2 L4 v Atlético de Madrid).
Liverpool have won each of their last five meetings with PSV in the UEFA Champions League, only beating Porto (6) more often in the competition.
PSV are unbeaten in each of their last 11 home games in major European competition (W6 D5), since a 2-1 loss to English side Leicester City in April 2022 in the UEFA Conference League.
Liverpool have won 12 of their last 15 away games in the UEFA Champions League (L3) with the Reds boasting the best win rate on the road in the competition since the 2021-22 campaign (85%).
PSV have won their last two home UEFA Champions League games, last winning three in a row in the 2015-16 group stages. They’ve netted 3+ goals in both wins, having only scored three goals in two of their previous 44 home games.
Liverpool are one of only two sides with a 100% away record in this season’s UEFA Champions League, along with Atalanta. Arne Slot is looking to become the fourth manager to win his first four away matches with a club, after Claudio Ranieri with Chelsea in 2003-04, Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich in 2013-14 and Hans-Dieter Flick with Bayern Munich in 2019-20/2020-21.
If Mohamed Salah scores in this game, he will become the first player to score 50+ goals for an English club in major European competition (excluding qualifiers). The Egyptian has netted 49 times for Liverpool across the UEFA Champions League (44) and Europa League (5).
Luuk de Jong could become PSV’s all-time top scorer in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with the Dutchman currently level with Romário on 11 goals. He netted a brace last time out in this competition, helping them to a 3-2 away win against Crvena Zvezda.
Mohamed Salah has scored 24 away major European goals for Liverpool in 38 appearances. Only four players have netted 25+ away goals for one club: Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid (48 in 48 games), Lionel Messi for Barcelona (47 in 74 games), Karim Benzema for Real Madrid (32 in 69 games) and Robert Lewandowski for Bayern Munich (29 in 38 games).
Malik Tillman has three goals and two assists in three home UEFA Champions League appearances for PSV this season, the most ever goals and assists combined by an Eindhoven player at the Philips Stadion in one campaign. He is looking to be the third player to score in three home games in a row, after Wim Jonk (3 in 1997) and Luuk de Jong (5 between 2018 and 2024).
