What time did the match start???
1 pm.
Thanks, I hunted it down in the end but the UEFA stream doesnât seem to be working for meâŠ
Took me a few reloads and then it was laggy as hell for about 10 minutes but seems to be fine now.
UEFA commentator seems to be massively overexaggerating how good AC Milan have been. Been a sloppy performance for both sides here.
Liverpool U19s began their 2021-22 UEFA Youth League campaign with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan on Wednesday afternoon.
Max Woltmanâs clinical finish early in the first half was the difference in an entertaining encounter at the Kirkby Academy.
Harvey Davies made sure of the three points with a terrific performance in the young Redsâ goal as theyâll now look to build on the victory when they travel to FC Porto later this month in Group B.
Woltman delivered a statement of intent in the opening phases, forcing the first of many saves from Milan goalkeeper Sebastiano Desplanches.
He beat the stopper after eight minutes of play following tenacious work down the left-hand side by Owen Beck. The Welsh full-back battled hard to win back possession inside the final third, before calmly delivering a cut-back that found the free Woltman inside the box.
The No.9 swept the cross on the half-volley into the far corner, giving the hosts the perfect start.
The rest of an end-to-end opening 45 minutes saw both teams go close on a number of occasions.
Davies and Desplanches made fine interventions throughout to keep the scoreline at 1-0, though Milanâs Youns Gabriele El Hilali struck the crossbar from close range shortly before half-time.
The first clear-cut chance of the second period fell to Milan, with El Hilali firing over after a corner was flicked on at the near post.
Davies was called into action again with 17 minutes remaining when he brilliantly clawed away Enrico Di Gesuâs looping header, which was destined for the back of the net. He then kept out Gabriele Alesiâs long-range effort and follow-up shot.
Di Gesu was again denied by the Liverpool goalkeeper, who got down well to push clear a drilled hit from the edge of the box.
The Reds survived late attempts from substitutes Leonardo Rossi and Alesi to ensure it was a successful afternoon in matchday one.
Liverpool U19s: Davies, Bradley, (Bajcetic, 90), Chambers, Koumetio, Beck, Morton, Stephenson, Gordon, Balagizi (Corness, 86), Woltman, Musialowski (Cannonier, 81).
Unused substitutes: Mrozek, Norris, Frauendorf, Clark.

You could still be right about family names thoughâŠSlight change in surnames are often found in genealogy and tracing back on family trees.
He is related to the boxer Natasha Jonas though

Oscar Kelly has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool FC.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper has been with the Reds since U9 level.
Liverpool-born, he has progressed through the age groups to become a valuable member of the Academy goalkeeping pool whether on the training pitch or in matchday squads.
Known as a fine shot-stopper, he has been part of the U23s squad in both Premier League 2 and the Papa Johnâs Trophy this season, while he has previously been part of the UEFA Youth League squad.
