Liverpool took some time to acclimate to the flow of the game, failing to put goalkeeper Remko Pasveer to the test in the first 30 minutes. Despite their lack of shots on target, Klopp’s team scored three minutes before halftime. Salah took advantage of Jordan Henderson’s exquisite flick to chip an attempt over the charging Pasveer.

Leveraging their confidence, Liverpool nearly extended their advantage straight after — Roberto Firmino’s selfless move set up Nunez, who somehow shot an open goal against the post. Nunez had a half-time pause to reflect on his awful mistake, but he swiftly made amends by scoring his second Champions League goal of the season four minutes after the interval, completing a more difficult chance than the one he had previously missed. Nunez’s head met Andy Robertson’s out-swinging corner, which he nodded in, brushing the far post on its way.
Three minutes later, Klopp’s team increased their advantage to three, with Elliott becoming the first Liverpool youngster to score in three successive Champions League games. The 19-year-old got the ball from Salah in the area before unleashing a powerful effort from an acute angle into the top of the net. After their bombardment of goals, Liverpool’s triumph was never in question as they controlled possession and the flow of opportunities.
