Despite playing away, Liverpool quickly attacked and threatened Girona’s goal. In less than 7 minutes, goalkeeper Gazzaniga had to show his talent twice to keep the home team’s net from shaking.
But then, Girona rose strongly, forcing Liverpool to struggle to defend. In just the 12th to 17th minute, goalkeeper Alisson had to show his talent to save the “Red Brigade” 3 times.
In the 35th minute, the Premier League representative had a good chance to open the score but Nunez could not beat goalkeeper Gazzaniga in the face-off.
In the first seconds of the second half, goalkeeper Alisson continued to save Liverpool after Arnold’s mistake. In a rather deadlocked match, the “Red Brigade” was awarded a penalty in the 62nd minute after VAR determined that former MU star Van De Beek fouled Diaz in the penalty area.
On the 11m mark, Salah made no mistake to break the deadlock.
In the remaining time, Liverpool took the initiative to play slowly and dominate the game. Girona’s attacks were easily broken due to the lack of personnel to coordinate. In the end, the “Red Brigade” won by a minimum to leave with 3 full points.
With this result, Liverpool continues to maintain their perfect record in the Champions League . The Premier League representative is currently leading with 18 absolute points and is almost certain to be in the top 8 to go straight to the knockout round.
