Villarreal scored an injury-time goal to beat Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal.
Liverpool looked set to claim a creditable away draw in Spain when they were caught off-guard by a late counter-attack and substitute Adrian Lopez was able to tap in Denis Suarez's squared pass.
Despite the late drama, Liverpool will still feel the tie is delicately poised heading to the return leg at Anfield next Friday (NZT).
"Of course I'm not too happy with the goal we conceded in the last second. Counter-attacking in the 92nd minute makes not much sense - but it is only the first leg," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said.
"It is 1-0 and they have to come to Anfield where we know how strong we are. We had our moments, we defended really good. This race is not over."
