A tough away fixture awaits #THFC this evening, who face a strong #Frankfurt team fresh from a victory over league leaders Union Berlin.

Their average positioning against Arsenal on Saturday (below) was incredibly deep. They’ll have to be braver tonight.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is by far the most active #LFC player when it comes to both attacking involvement and in the buildup.

A trade-off Jürgen Klopp is content to make. ⬇️

The match

After a goalless first half, the hosts grabbed the lead when Armando Sandoval scored in the 55th minute to send the home fans into raptures at the Estadio Sergio León Chavez stadium.

They doubled their lead when Omar Gonzalez set up Marco Granados to score and put Javier San Roman’s side in a great position going into the second leg.

Están en segunda @LigaPremier_FMF
Pero la afición de @irapuatooficial es de primera, estan felices al grito de ¡trinca! ¡trinca!
Que gusto por esa región tan sufrida por tanta delincuencial

Cruz Azul were unable to score an away goal, which puts Irapauto in an incredibly commanding position for the second leg on Saturday at the Estadio 10 de Diciembre.
