A point apiece in a game of no consequence to either side seems fair enough, although both will feel they could have won it but for the intervention of technology. Mo Salah put Liverpool ahead inside within a minute, but Midtjylland’s second half performance was much improved and they restored parity through an Alexander Schulz penalty in the 62nd minute.
