Liverpool actively controlled the ball right after the opening whistle, but the pressure created was not enough to penetrate the opponent's defense.
In the 9th minute, Alexander Isak had his first chance with a shot that went narrowly wide of the post. 2 minutes later, Gonzalo Garcia took advantage of goalkeeper Alisson's mistake, but the Fulham striker's close-range shot was promptly blocked by Liverpool defenders.
The Kop continued to push up the squad but faced many difficulties in finding a way into the goal. In the 25th minute, Florian Wirtz had a chance in the penalty area but shot inaccurately.
The first half ended without any goals being scored. After the break, the game did not change significantly. Liverpool continued to control the ball and tried to increase pressure, while Fulham actively defended, waiting for counter-attack opportunities.
In the 52nd minute, Isak broke through and then shot but could not beat goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Not long after that, Dominik Szoboszlai tried his luck from outside the penalty area but Leno once again excellently saved.
In the 72nd minute, newcomer Barcola left the field to make way for Rio Ngumoha. However, this adjustment did not make a difference for Liverpool. The home team put all their strength into attack in the final minutes but were still powerless against Fulham's defense.
In the 90+2 minute, Isak headed wide of the post, before Ngumoha missed the last chance in the 90+4 minute with a shot that went over the bar.
In the end, Liverpool was held to a 0-0 draw by Fulham at Anfield. This result caused them to temporarily rank 6th in the standings with 6 points after 4 matches.
