Lepizig is Liverpool’s third rival in this demanding preseason, in which they have added a defeat (4-0 against Manchester United), a victory (2-0 against Crystal Palace) and a rout against Leipzig (5-0).
END THE MATCH. Liverpool beat Leipzig 0-5. Night full of inspiration for Núñez, author of four goals. Salah scored the first. Luis Díaz caused a penalty and did not have many options.
Minute 90- Goooolll from Liverpool!!! Cavalcade by Carvalho and goal by Núñez with the complicity of the goalkeeper… Credentials of the Uruguayan, reviewed and approved. Four goals: what else?
Minute 86- The boys got entangled in the red defense, Milner takes the corner kick and avoids danger… the mission is to keep the goal at zero, regardless of the fact that Van Dijk is no longer there
Minute 83- Again the fifth Liverpool is lost, a great start by Carvalho, the goalkeeper was better in closing
Minute 81- Leipizg is saved again, Núñez’s frontal header that the goalkeeper saves timely… it was his poker
Minutes 80- Carvalho’s cross shot, with a promising appearance in Liverpool… Henderson did not arrive
Minute 79- Leipzig approaches again, Forsberg’s shot deflected to the goal now defended by the young Davies
Minute 72- Leipizig is saved from the fifth, it is a Liverpool machine now with all the vertigo of the youth who entered for the auction of the game
Minuto 67- ¡Goooollll de Liverpool!! Núñez leaves with a triplet, Elliot’s great service from the right and it is the Uruguayan’s night in Germany. They already win theirs by 0-4.
Minute 63- Time for the changes in Liverpool, time for the relief and rest of Luis Díaz
Minuto 50- ¡Gooooollll de Liverpool!!! Second goal from the Uruguayan Núñez, assistance from Alexander-Arnold, great cross shot, to the goalkeeper’s impossible post. Red victory 0-3 at home in Leipzig
Minuto 48- ¡Goooooolll de Liverpoool!!! Darwin Núñez takes the penalty and scores for the first time dressed in red
Minute 46- Penalty to Luis Díaz! The goalkeeper tries to block Henderson’s serve but knocks the Colombian down
END THE FIRST TIME. Thanks to Salah (which is not little) Liverpool wins 0-1 against Leipzig in a friendly, Luis Díaz is the starter but he has not had clear options
Minute 45- Salah’s tremendous loss generates Leipzig’s exit at full speed, Konaté also misses and Nkunku finishes off perfectly, but Adrián saves with his feet… it was a draw
Minutes 40- Finally, Lepizig remembers the rival goal: Angeliño’s powerful shot, which appeared only on Alexander-Arnold’s side, barely above Adrián’s hand
Minute 35- Thiago’s (very) deflected shot… Leipizg seemed to lose the intention of equalizing and Liverpool is in no hurry
Minute 34- Díaz gets excited again, now he opens space for Robertson and goes to the middle of the area, but they don’t return the ball to him and he loses the option
Minute 33- Andrés Silva leaves injured in Leipzig… new disappointment
Minute 27- Díaz’s first appearance, the ball was long and he could not define
Minute 23- Angeliño’s shot deflected, now the possession belongs to the Germans but they can’t do any damage
Minute 11- Leipizg goes with confidence for the draw, Dani Olmo almost celebrated it but he hit the ball in his hand
Minuto 8- ¡Goooolll de Liverpool!!! Mohamed Salah -who else- opens the locked account with Firmino: a blink of an eye at the Germans’ exit and they were charged. Liverpool beat Leipzig 0-1.
Minute 5- Díaz shows himself, he gets on well with Firmino, but the Germans know him and mark him well
Minute 2- Leipzig is local but the favourite, Liverpool, has the initiative
ROLL THE BALL
The duel in German territory recalls the last time they met, in the round of 16 of the Champions League 2020/2021when the British won 2-0 in the first leg.
Jürgen Klopp refines the machine to go for all the titles in this new season and these are his starters, with Luis Díaz again from the start:
This is how the Germans receive their rivals:
