Play by play
- 90'
And it's over. Atletico stay top of the group. Some contentious decisions on the night but a fair result all in all as Liverpool tired badly after dominating the first half.
- 90'
Lucas does not beat the first man. And Riera fails to capitalise on a mistake. Time ticks on for a point for each...
- 90'
Foul on Kuyt. What can happen here? Free-kick.
- 90'
Long ball from Kuyt. Franco collects. Three minutes of extra time.
- 90'
Corner comes out to Simao but his cross is saved by Reina.
- 89'
Aguero chases a long ball but heads on past Reina. But off the pitch. The Argentine player is soon back with it and forces a corner.
- 88'
Kuyt finds his feet. Out on his favoured right from an Agger ball. Good cross and Babel misses. He should have scored. No bounce to aid him this time and he headed wide. This game is very much alive.
- 87'
Liverpool offside with Kuyt again. The Dutchman not flying tonight.
- 86'
Reina has to catch at the second attempt from the resulting corner.
- 85'
Forlan on the left. Nice chip over to Miguel. Keeps his head over it and Reina palmed away when the ball was headed in on the bounce.
- 84'
Atletico on the attack once again. Maniche's flick does not find Aguero.
- 84'
Perhaps justioe was done there. Atletico cock-a-hoop. Simao scores again against the club who once wanted him and couldn't pay the dough. They've bought another 30 left-wingers since. So maybe they should have bought him.
- 82'
Long ball and Liverpool make a mess of it. Carragher makes a horse of it. Forlan finds himself with the ball. Plays in Simao and the Portugese winger slots it in! 1-1.
- 81'
And Atletico get their goal...
- 80'
Offside flag for Maniche. This time a correct decision but he'd lobbed over anyway.
- 79'
Maniche gets a chance to hit from distance. Reina more than equal to the task. He doesn't need to dive for that.
- 77'
Atletico, after that burst of the start of the second half when they were denied a goal, have not threatened. Benitez's switches may well have worked.
- 76'
Kuyt - back to the old school - slips in comedy fashion and falls over. Offside anyway.
- 75'
Kuyt twists and turns to win a free-kick.
- 74'
Lucas on for Alonso. Miguel on for Sinama Pongolle.
- 73'
Aguero makes a lovely run but it's far too deep and he can't get a team-mate away.
- 72'
Aguero's ball out to Simao. Forlan the recipient of his pass but he can't make the angle.
- 71'
Alonso tackled as he shaped to shoot. Kuyt has the ball. Babel tries a chip. But didn't make a good fist of it.
- 71'
Off goes Camacho. On comes Raul Garcia in midfield.
- 70'
Simao's kick evades all but a slight nod off Carragher which means Aguero and co cannot get there.
