They do it well.
I think it is evident within the moment half we ought to have scored for 3-1. there were one or two truly great opportunities,” Klopp includes, Ryan Gravenberch lost a sitter from near extend.
“But since we do not score there, we keep the amusement open. At that point Dunk was there and may score. It was intense for both teams, so I think it’s the proper result within the end.”
