In the second half, while the Liverpool fans were hoping for a comeback and regaining control. 

Zilina showed impeccable control and scored another goal with Frantisek Kosa. The second half was painfully frustrating for Liverpool to find an equalizer anchor. Despite the pressure and midfield control, the Reds were unable to penetrate Zilina's defense. This put Zilina ahead into the game and shifted the momentum firmly in their favour.
