FT: Ajax 3-1 Liverpool
Full-time and Liverpool have lost 3-1 at Ajax. Kone-Doherty's goal wasn't enough as the young Reds, missing some key players, were well beaten.

Almost a Liverpool goal
Good work by Doak to get to the byline and cross but Koumas shot is weak and is easily held by the goalkeeper. Liverpool 3-1 down on 74 minutes.
16:26IAN DOYLE
Liverpool substitution
Liverpool make their first substitution with Pilling on for Kone-Doherty. They trail 3-1 on 68 minutes.
16:25IAN DOYLE
Double booking
A couple of yellow cards are brandished. Clark hasn't been happy with the officiating all afternoon. Liverpool aren't happy with some of what's going on today.
Frauendorf and Agouigil went into the book. Things are getting very feisty out there. Doak looks like he has a lot of fire in the belly.
16:22PAUL GORST
GOAL! Ajax 3-1 Liverpool
3-1 Ajax. A deflected shot loops up over Hewitson.
It's the substitute Kalokoh who has made it 3-1.
16:12IAN DOYLE
Better start
Liverpool have been better so far in the second half. Appear to have a bit more about them in midfield.
16:11PAUL GORST
Penalty appeal
Bobby Clark goes down inside the Ajax area. Wants a penalty but the referee gives a free-kick to the home side.
16:07IAN DOYLE
Liverpool free-kick
Doak is caught strongly and screams out in pain. It's a free-kick but, as has been the case so far this game, no booking for Ajax.

KICK-OFF
The second half is underway between Liverpool U19s and Ajax in Amsterdam.
15:47IAN DOYLE
HT: Ajax 2-1 Liverpool
Half-time and Liverpool were in trouble at being deservedly 2-0 down, but that Kone-Doherty strike just beforethe break has given them real hope of a comeback. They only need a point to qualify for the last 16.
15:46KEY EVENT
GOAL! Liverpool pull one back!
Great work by Doak down the right and his low cross is deflected towards the line where Kone-Doherty heads it in from a yard out. 2-1 on 44 minutes. Game on?
15:45IAN DOYLE
Chance for the Reds
Liverpool finally have a chance. Chambers breaks out of centre-back into his usual left wing and crosses for Koumas to have a header saved.
15:44IAN DOYLE
More on that goal
Ajax go 2-0 ahead. Misehouy puts it in from about eight yards out after being found by the busy Sarfo. Long way back for Liverpool now. 42 minutes gone.
15:43KEY EVENT
GOAL! 2-0 to Ajax now
Misehouy sticks it away after a low cross. Liverpool well up against it here.
15:41PAUL GORST
Another booking
No luck this time for the Liverpool captain. Quansah takes down Vos in the centre circle and is booked.
15:41SEAN BRADBURY
Doak surges again
Doak flashes forward on the break down the left after the Ajax free-kick...but the hosts eventually win it back.
15:39PAUL GORST
Good play from Ajax
Free-kick to Ajax on the edge of the penalty area. Quansah a victim of a nutmeg, brings his man down and escapes a yellow.
15:38SEAN BRADBURY
Flag goes up
Cross to the far post for Ajax and what looks like a big chance for 2-0...but the flag goes up for offside.
15:37SEAN BRADBURY
Doak on the move
Doak does well to work the ball forward down the right - but Kone-Doherty can't quite spin towards goal when the cross comes in.
15:33SEAN BRADBURY
A shout from the Liverpool bench
"We're not going to get anything!"
Can't really argue with that from the Reds coaching staff.
Ref being generous with the level of aggression from Ajax so far.
15:32IAN DOYLE
Hmm...
Clark the latest Liverpool player to barely believe Ajax haven't been penalised for what looked like a foul.
15:30IAN DOYLE
Top work from Quansah
Quansah makes a great block to prevent Agougil doubling the lead.
Difficult times for the young Reds at the moment, they trail Ajax 1-0 on 28 minutes.
15:29IAN DOYLE
First booking...
Liverpool have not been happy that some Ajax tackles from behind have not resulted in yellow cards, so they have taken a dim view that Corness has become the first player in this game booked for minimal contact.
15:29SEAN BRADBURY
Better signs from Liverpool
Reds progressing the ball a bit better now. Most promising move so far breaks down as they get into the Ajax box.
15:24SEAN BRADBURY
Since the goal...
...it's got a little scrappy. Ajax playing with aggression, Liverpool lacking fluency so far.
15:21SEAN BRADBURY
Ref having a word...
Referee giving a warning to the Ajax players after a couple of heavy-handed challenges.
15:16KEY EVENT
GOAL! Ajax make it 1-0
The hosts are ahead. Inviting low cross from Sarfo was tucked away by Banel. Tidy approach and finish.
15:16SEAN BRADBURY
Plenty watching on
Decent crowd for this one - loads of people in the stands to catch the afternoon Youth League action.
15:12PAUL GORST
Bright start
Ajax legend Ronald de Boer one of the on-lookers at De Toekomst here. Half-chances for either side early on. Koumas denied by Kremas and Quansah had to be alert down the other end to clear a promising move from the hosts.
15:11IAN DOYLE
Spotted
Ronald de Boer, the Ajax and Holland great, is in the press box here at the De Toekomst sports park in Amsterdam watching on.
15:10IAN DOYLE
Doyley's take so far
We are eight minutes into the game here. No goals but Ajax have made a decent start. Two teams with a lot of technical ability so far. 0-0.
15:09SEAN BRADBURY
Early stages...
Jarrell Quansah with an important early interception early on after Ajax threaten.
Then a spark from Liverpool at the other end as Kone-Doherty releases Koumas...keeper is alert and gets the effort clear.
15:08SEAN BRADBURY
New kit on show
We’re underway. Liverpool’s new green away kit gets its first outing ahead of a first-team debut tonight. No Oakley Cannonier or Harvey Davies today for Barry Lewtas’s side.
15:07SEAN BRADBURY
Here we go...
First game of the day is getting underway!

Closing in on kick off
30 minutes until the young Reds get underway over in Amsterdam.
And the boss is out having a look at the opposition...
14:28SEAN BRADBURY
Permutation time
So, what exactly do Liverpool need in order to qualify for the Champions League knockouts tonight?
It's potentially very simple - draw or win and they are through.
After that, it becomes a little complicated..
Calling anyone in Amsterdam...
If you're out in Amsterdam and fancy watching both games today - you can!
