John McGinn is booked for diving on the edge of the box. A replay shows the Villa captain did indeed go down without Josip Corluka making contact.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
It feels like a matter of time before Liverpool score.
Mohamed Salah is almost found in behind the Union defence but the ball just beats him.

Klopp’ll be demanding a replay over that Darwin sitter. The union kit was obviously too blue…

Aldin Hrvanovic goes into the book for catching Villa left-back Lucas Digne.

Good to finally get to watch Kevin Mac Allister play. I've been a big fan of his since that time he thwarted those 2 burglars with micro machines and paint cans.
Matt
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Union's first shot.
Charles Vanhoutte gets right underneath it, though, and fires his effort from range high and wide.

I have no idea. That was as easy as they come.
He must have taken his eye off the ball. He could have gone left foot, right foot, anything he wanted.
But that was dreadful, to be perfectly honest.

Ex-Scotland midfielder on TNT Sports
That should have been 1-0 to the away side with a better ball.
Aston Villa 0-0 Zrinjski Mostar
I used to live in Birmingham and watched Villa beat Ajax 2-1 in the Uefa Cup in October 2008.
I've just realised this is only the second European home game they've had since then, excluding qualifiers.
I really don't think anyone expected they'd be out of Europe for so long.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Oh, what a miss!
Liverpool cut Union open to set up Mohamed Salah on the right for a low cross that Darwin Nunez only has to tap home. It looks a certain goal but the Uruguayan puts it past the post.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Union have completed just 21 passes so far. Liverpool are already into triple figures.
Aston Villa 0-0 Zrinjski Mostar
The visitors should be ahead. Nemanja Bilbija is picked out near the penalty spot but his first-time shot is straight at Emiliano Martinez.

Really impressed with what I've seen of Gravenberch in his few games so far. Touch, vision, physical attributes all there. Once he's up to speed with the team he's going to be immense.
Paul
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Darwin Nunez is found behind the Union defence on the right but his cross is pushed away by Anthony Moris.
Soon after, Nunez is again involved, this time to slice a shot wide.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Liverpool warming to the task now.
Harvey Elliott drives into the box but he doesn't catch his shot and Union can clear.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Kevin Mac Allister's first real involvement is to shove over Diogo Jota. That's no way to treat your brother's mates.
Aston Villa 0-0 Zrinjski Mostar
It's been mostly Villa so far. Nicolo Zaniolo gets the ball on the right, cuts into the box and has a shot deflected wide.
From the corner Lucas Digne has a volley blocked.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
Ryan Gravenberch has been heavily involved in this opening. He floats a ball to Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian can't bring it down in the box for a shot.

Steve McManaman

He catches hold of it really well and it is a good hit. It moves a lot, but he is offside, Nunez.
Liverpool 0-0 Union Saint-Gilloise
The ball is in the net, but Darwin Nunez's effort won't count.
He is offside as Ryan Gravenberch's effort from range comes in and so his follow-up effort after the shot is saved is chalked off.
