The match
As usual in an English derby and especially in her matches Liverpool with the City, rhythm was the dominant element! From the first minutes, both teams entered with explosiveness and enough desire to threaten each other’s goal.
The first good moment of the match belonged to City and it came just at 3′. Bernardo Silva made a great effort, passing the ball to the left Alvareswho stepped into the area, took the cross shot with Kelleher falling to his corner to block the ball.
The “citizens” persisted at the same pace and with eight minutes left in the match, they threatened the hosts’ goal again. Haaland’s pass in transition with Alvares to receive it and distribute it to De Bruyne, he from the left of the area picked up the ball which went straight past his goal Kelleher.
Liverpool tried to react to the 13′ first arrived with claims in the Anderson area. Beautiful balls diagonally Van Dijk to Bradley, the young man brazenly entered the area and made the parallel turn, but the Bath tubs he didn’t set the projection with the ball going out. Two minutes later Nunes’ header from an advantageous position went wide, while at 19′ the goal of Luis Dias was cancelled, since Nunes was exposed at the beginning of the phase.
In the 24th minute came the first goal of the derby. De Bruyne brilliantly took a corner from the right, o Stones he flew at the front post, crossed and opened the scoring for City.
On the stroke of half-time, Klopp’s side came within a breath of an equaliser. Patient movement with Elliott receiving from the right, he crossed into the heart of the area where Sobozlaiheaded in, but missed.
In the 42′ the champions, were in danger again with Diaz making the individual effort and shooting the ball wide, while in the first minute of stoppage time, City responded to the chances with Walker to make a fantastic effort from the right, and step into the area, made the parallel turn, but the oncoming De Bruyne did not find the ball and 1-0 remained until the end of the first part.
At the start of the second half, Liverpool took the first possessions, but the phase that determined the continuation in their favor came from “blue” legs. Ake accepted the pressure from him Sobozlai, turned the ball badly to Ederson, Nunes managed to nip the ball in and win a penalty from the Brazilian keeper. THE McAllister took over the execution and defeated Anderson for the 1-1.
This goal put “wings” on the feet of the hosts who created a downhill on the field. Every… descent of the “reds” into the City area was extremely dangerous for Guardiola’s team with chances being missed one after the other.
In the 59′ the hosts warned with Dias who lost control before executing, while in 63′ a great moment was missed for the reversal. Salah made a razor-sharp ball to Dias, the Colombian went out tete-a-tete with Ortegabut his place was bad and he went out.
In the 71′ Liverpool, with their foot on the gas, missed another good chance when Robertson’s cross found Nunes in the area, who made the save but Ortega who replaced the injured Ederson, parried with the body.
Out of nowhere, City almost punished a misguided Liverpool when at 73′ Kelleher on his way out sent the ball over him Foden and she hit the crossbar and went out.
Liverpool remained established in City’s half of the pitch, moving the ball around, but Guardiola’s men nearly stole the win in the 89th minute. THE Doku took the ball from Haaland’s assist, crossed from the left of the box, but sent the ball onto the post.
In stoppage time, the interest shifted only to the City area, as Liverpool pressed and called twice for penalties in a reversal of Salah and McAllister with Oliver saying “it’s on” and blowing the whistle seconds later.
