But fans on social media were not happy with Matip’s efforts.
One said: “Matip is such a weak link in this Liverpool defence. Calam, not comfortable on the ball and can barely tackle. Joke of a defender.”
Another tweeted: “Matip should sort his feet out and clear that. Bayern have been worse than rubbish for 120 mins, don't deserve that goal.”
A third explained: “Matip biggest donkey I’ve ever seen.”

Matip has been regularly used alongside Virgil van Dijk this season following injuries to Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren.
The Reds will hope the own goal doesn’t matter in the end as they look to progress to the quarter-finals.
The draw for the last eight takes place at 11am on Friday morning.
Express Sport will bring you complete coverage with at least three Premier League sides involved.
