Salah opened the scoring with a shot that changed direction and entered the net in the eighth minute, and Naby Keita added another goal with a missile shot after another five minutes, but Liverpool’s defense collapsed and Atletico responded strongly.
Griezmann converted a shot from Koke into the net from close range in the 20th minute to reduce the difference and after another 14 minutes equalized the result for the Spanish team, but he was sent off after seven minutes of the second half due to a reckless and unnecessary intervention that hit Roberto Firmino’s head.
Salah returned Liverpool to the lead with a penalty kick in the 78th minute, and Atletico received a similar penalty that was canceled after reviewing the video, and the English team held out after that to remain at the top of Group B with nine points, five points ahead of second-placed Atletico.
