“Of course the result we are disappointed about,” Endo told Liverpoolfc.com post-match. “I think the second half was good. After [being] 2-0 down, we came back into the game and we scored two.

“I think in the last 10 minutes both deserved to score because we both had a chance to score. In the last moment, they scored unfortunately.

“The way we came back was great and we showed ourselves. I’m just disappointed about the result.”

On the end-to-end nature of the conclusion, Endo assessed: “I think that’s a game. They play at home, so they also want to score. We, of course, wanted to win this game away, we wanted to score in the end.”
