Full Time

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Liverpool

The whistle sounds and the game ends in a draw thanks to goals from Bare and Firmino in each half.

A penalty shootout will decide which team takes the Audi Cup home.

90

Robertson invited to shoot from the edge of the area... and it's close.

What a moment that would've been for the left-back

88

Chance for Atleti as Lucas diverts a corner goalward but Ward produces a good reaction save to tip it over.

Liverpool just about do enough from the subsequent corner, too.

83

Goal

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Liverpool (Firmino pen)

The Reds' new No.9 walks up, opens his body, and slots it to the right as the 'keeper dives to the opposite side of the goal.

All to play for now!

82

Penalty

Divock Origi tripped in the box... and it's given!

76

Match shot

This man has been bright since coming on.

75

Firmino's flick tees up Grujic for a shot but he can't keep the effort down.

That's as near as Liverpool have come for a while.

73

Substitution

More subs for Atletico - among them a certain Fernando Torres.

The Spanish striker receives a warm reception from the Liverpool supporters in the stadium.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces Joe Gomez.

65

Yellow Card

Ragnar Klavan in the book for a cynical foul.

64

Substitution

Robertson swings a dangerous ball across the box which is only just diverted behind by a desperate Atletico defender.

Moments later, Ejaria and Origi enter the fray in place of Solanke and Wijnaldum.

59

Substitution

Atletico Madrid making changes now as Antoine Griezmann, Felipe Luis and Gabi enter the fray.

Not a bad triple substitution, that.

48

Bright start from the Reds who go close through a deflected Dom Solanke effort before a corner causes chaos in the Atletico box and they just about manage to get it away.

Still only one goal in it.

46

Back under way at the Allianz Arena.

Half-time

Substitution

Six changes for Liverpool at the break.

Milner, Mane, Lallana, Can, Flanagan and Woodburn make way, with Firmino, Henderson, Grujic, Robertson, Matip and Kent taking their place. 

Half-time

Match shot

Dominic Solanke chases down the ball during the opening 45 minutes.

Half Time

Atletico Madrid 0-1 Liverpool

A frustrating half for the Reds comes to a close.

Bare's goal is the difference between the sides at the break in the final of the Audi Cup.

42

Atletico protecting their lead with ease so far, sitting deep and closing the spaces.

It's going to take something special to unlock them - as is so often the case.

33

Goal

Atletico Madrid 1-0 Liverpool (Bare)

The Reds go behind.

Correa meets a cross into the box and volleys an effort goalward but Ward shows incredible reflexes to push the ball onto the bar.

Unfortunately for Liverpool, Bare is on hand to head into the net on the follow-up.

25

Yellow Card

Another booking for Liverpool, this time Milner sees yellow for a cynical pull back on Thomas.

23

Match shot

Joe Gomez in the thick of the action at centre-half.

22

Yellow Card

Sadio Mane in the book for a frustrated push when the ball was being shepherded out of play. 

Tight game here at the Allianz.

14

Woodburn now the recipient of a teammate's good work as he meets a Lallana cross to the back post.

Unfortunately, the youngster's volley doesn't trouble the Atletico goalkeeper.

11

The first real chance goes to the Reds.

Woodburn swings a cross in from the left wing and Solanke flicks it on with his head, but it drops just wide of the post.

6

Cagey start to proceedings here with a few challenges going in but no real action in either penalty area.

Atletico's style might make for a different game to yesterday's win over Bayern.

No Philippe Coutinho, Mo Salah, Alberto Moreno or Dejan Lovren tonight but they are simply rested, rather than injured.
