Effectively, we don’t consider it’s one thing the Reds have accomplished earlier than in our lengthy and illustrious cup historical past, at residence and overseas, in main competitions.

And it might seem it has not occurred too typically in top-level soccer through the years.

There was a loopy semi-final in 1970, with 5 targets scored in extra-time on the Azteca Stadium between Italy and West Germany. Nevertheless, though the Germans led, they slipped 3-2 behind to the Azzurri earlier than the half was out and, regardless of equalising via Gerd Muller, misplaced 4-3.

There was an instance within the European Championship, when hosts France beat Portugal within the 1984 semi-final. Eight minutes into extra-time, Rui Jordao netted his second aim for Portugal to earn a 2-1 lead they held till the closing phases. Jean-Francois Domergue levelled earlier than famous person midfielder Michel Platini’s last-gap winner.
