LIVERPOOL, England—Liverpool’s Joel Matip headed in an 89th-minute winner as last season’s runners-up left it late to beat Ajax Amsterdam 2–1 in their Champions League Group A match at Anfield on Sept. 13.

Juergen Klopp’s side had lost their opening game in the group 4–1 at Napoli and were heading for another disappointing result until the centre back rose to meet a corner which appeared to be cleared off the line, but the assistant referee raised his flag to indicate a goal.
