The first good opportunity for the locals came in minute seven. Andy Robertson made a fine pass into the box to Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian missed the ball. A little later, Andy Robertson again managed to get out of the opponent’s defense, but this time his pass was blocked.
The “red” dominance gave its result in the 12th minute. Joel Matip broke away from Semi Ajayi and passed to Sadio Mane, who showed great control of the ball and with a powerful shot sent the ball to the lower left corner of the UBA door , opening the marker.
After about half an hour of play, Trent Alexander-Arnold tried to threaten the opponent’s goal with a free kick, but his performance was disappointing.
The pressure from the Merseysiders was relentless. In the 34th minute Mohamed Salah calmed the ball and struck a thunderbolt at Sam Johnstone’s goal, but this attempt went into the “inaccurate” column.
Thus, the first part passed entirely under the dictation of the locals, who without much tension and with more than 80% of possession of the ball arrived home with an advance to the break.
The second part began as the first ended. Less than a minute had passed since the restart of the game and Jordan Henderson fired a shot at the door of the “tordos”. The Liverpool captain made a good pass to the ground and shot on goal from a promising distance, but too far from goal.
In the 49th minute, the guests played the ball in the opponent’s court for the first time. However, control of the ball behind Darnell Furlong’s cross was extremely easy for Alison. Sam Allardyce’s players played better and seconds later the first accurate shot from the “tordos” was recorded. Carlan Grant tried his luck, but his shot ended up in the hands of a Merseyside guard.
Jurgen Klopp’s personnel problems continued in this match and after about an hour of football at “Anfield” the specialist was forced to make a change. Joel Matip suffered a painful sprain that prevented him from continuing the game, and was replaced by the young Reese Williams.
A little later, Mohamed Salah missed the opportunity to double his team’s advantage. The Egyptian intercepted a cross meters from the goal line, but his final header went over the crossbar.
In the 72nd minute, the “tordos” were very close to the equalizer, but Carlan Grant wasted his chance. Romain Sawyers passed in a big way to English, who easily edged out Reese Williams, but Alison intervened brilliantly and guarded her door.
Ten minutes before the end of the match, UBA finally managed to restore equality. Semi Ajayi jumped on Fabinho to intercept a cross from a corner. The ball bounced off the crossbar and would have gone out of bounds, but Alison stepped in and allowed the ball to go into her net.
Seconds before the referee’s final signal, the Merseysiders squandered a great opportunity to seal the victory after Firmino’s shot was superbly reflected by Sam Johnstone.
The transformed game of the “tordos” won its point with the visit of “Anfield”, which is the eighth for the team after 15 games played. Liverpool, meanwhile, is still in the lead with 32 points in their assets.
