We’ve got news after 45 minutes of six more UCL matches, including a big injury at Stamford Bridge and a monumental start for an American in Austria.
[ UCL: Scores, lineups, stats, box scores ]
Chelsea 0-0 Valencia
No goals to report here, but early season hero Mason Mount has left the match with an injury for the Blues. He was not replaced by Christian Pulisic, rather Pedro.
Liverpool 0-0 Napoli
It’s been a pretty even affair, though Liverpool can thank Adrian for a pair of great saves on Dries Mertens before Hirving “Chucky” Lozano’s goal was ruled offside.
Red Bull Salzburg 5-1 Genk
Jesse Marsch is now officially the first American man to manage a team in a UEFA Champions League game.
The Red Bull Salzburg boss is also the first to hold a second minute lead, as red hot striker Erling Braut Haaland scored his 15th, 16th, and 17th goals in nine matches under Marsch.
Haaland also five assists on the season, having entered Tuesday’s match with 658 minutes across all competitions.
Haaland is the son of former Leeds, Man City, and Nottingham Forest manager Alf-Inge Haland.
Hwang-Hee Chan has Salzburg’s other goal, and two assists.
Jesse Marsch's Salzburg side goes up early 🇺🇸🇦🇹
