The Reds played with authority and confidence against Augsburg, but failed to capitalize on their dominance which set up a tense closing at Anfield.
LIVERPOOL, England -- Jurgen Klopp had insisted, even before the first leg in Germany, that Liverpool would not find Augsburg an easy opponent to overcome in the Europa League.
But under the lights at Anfield on Thursday night, he would have expected his side to make the task of reaching the last 16 of the competition simpler for themselves.
Unlike the reverse fixture at the WWK Arena which ended scoreless last week, the Reds asserted their dominance from the off and were aggressive in and out of possession.
