The Reds won 7-6 on spot-kicks after a goalless draw across 120 minutes, with Victor Lindelof firing the winning strike past Robert Sanchez, straight after Solly March blazed over.
It came on the back of an impressive display at the heart of the defence by the Sweden captain, who partnered Luke Shaw in the middle.
