Manager Jurgen Klopp opted to give a number of young players a chance in the wake of a mounting injury crisis at the club, and Dublin-born Masterson was one of the beneficiaries.
However, Masterson ultimately did not make it on to the pitch, with Klopp choosing to bring on Joe Maguire, Sheyi Ojo and Pedro Chirivella in the second half instead.
Born on 8 September 1998, the Ireland U17 international is regarded as a fantastic prospect at the club.
The young centre-back joined Liverpool from Lucan United in a deal believed to be in the region of €1million announced back in 2012.

The official FAI website describes Masterson as a “tall, versatile player, Conor is capable of playing in defence, midfield or in attack — sometimes he has been used in more than one role in games”.
