The only on-target opportunity in the first half came from Andy Robertson in the 37th minute, but was countered by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The 0-0 score lasted until halftime.

In the second half, Burnley remained strong despite Liverpool continued to press.

Dominik Szoboszlai tried his luck with a long-range shot in the 58th minute, but Dubravka was quick to secure the net again.
