At 33 minutes, Gravenberch’s left-foot shot after a Wirtz pass struck the far post vs Lask.
The Champions League clash between Lask Linz and Liverpool kicked off in Austria with Liverpool looking to slow the atmosphere while keeping the ball. Lask’s fans were lively behind their goal as it was their first ever home Champions League match.
A warning before the break
In the 33rd minute, a slick Liverpool move ended with Wirtz releasing Gravenberch. The Dutch midfielder, at a sharp angle to the left of goal, dragged a left-footed effort toward the far post. It looked like it was in, but the curl carried it onto the post, and the rebound didn’t fall kindly for Liverpool.
The Guardian noted the sequence as one of the key chances of the game.
