In the 27th minute, Cody Gakpo sent the ball forward to Kostas Tsimikas, who broke free down the left wing and delivered a cross into the penalty box. Mohamed Salah headed the ball toward the far post, allowing Darwin Nunez to rush in and finish from the goal line, beating goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

This marked Nunez’s first Champions League goal and his second of the season, following his earlier strike in Liverpool’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Bournemouth.

His crucial goal helped Liverpool maintain their perfect record in the Champions League, following wins over AC Milan (3-1) and Bologna (2-0). Alongside Aston Villa, who also earned nine points after defeating Young Boys, Bayern, and Bologna, Liverpool remains one of two teams with a flawless group stage record.

Under the guidance of Arne Slot, Liverpool has continued to break new ground.

Their win over Leipzig secured their first six away victories in a season, a feat achieved by also defeating Milan, Ipswich, Manchester United, Wolves, and Crystal Palace.

Additionally, Liverpool has won 11 of their first 12 matches this season for the first time in their history, with their only setback being a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at home.
