Jurgen Klopp and his team won 2-0 against Union Saint-Gilloise in the second match of the Group E Europa League.

This morning, Liverpool welcomed Union Saint-Gilloise at home in the second match of Group E Europa League. Coach Jurgen Klopp made some changes to the starting lineup, giving opportunities to reserve players. In this match, Trent Alexander-Arnold is the captain.

In the 5th minute, Liverpool had the first dangerous opportunity. Mohamed Salah has a finishing position facing goalkeeper Anthony Moris. Luckily for Saint-Gilloise, Moris played excellently, blocking a shot from Salah.

After 10 minutes, the away team’s goal continued to wobble. Ryan Gravenberch took a shot from 20 meters that Moris punched the ball. Darwin Nunez appeared promptly and kicked Saint-Gilloise’s net. However, the goal was not recognized as Nunez was in an offside position.

In the 17th minute, Nunez missed a great opportunity when he kicked the ball out at a distance of about 10 meters. Before that was a very favorable stretch from the right wing by Mohamed Salah. Jurgen Klopp has reason to be dissatisfied with Nunez.

In the 26th minute, St.Gilloise threatened Liverpool’s goal. Starting from a corner kick on the right wing, striker Gustaf Nilsson jumped high and headed the ball over the crossbar.

Minute 44, Liverpool picked sweet fruit. Alexander-Arnold had a good combination with Nunez before shooting a left shot, forcing goalkeeper Moris to catch the ball poorly. The ball bounced out and Gravenberch kicked accurately. Score 1-0 for Liverpool.

At the end of the first 45 minutes, Liverpool led their opponent 1-0.

Entering the second half, Liverpool continued to increase the pressure on the away team’s goal. In the 52nd minute, Diogo Jota jumped high and headed the ball, forcing goalkeeper Moris to fly to block.

In the 61st minute, Gravenberch made a long shot that caused Union SG’s goal to shake. Once again, goalkeeper Moris played well in this situation.

In the 80th minute, Ibrahima Konate accurately sent a long ball across the line to Luis Diaz. The Colombian striker handled it confidently before shooting the ball and hitting the goalpost for the away team.

In the second minute of extra time of the second half, Jota shined with a sharp finish, sealing a 2-0 victory for Liverpool. An excellent counter-attack by The Kop.

In the final result, Liverpool won 2-0 against Union Saint-Gilloise. The Kop leads Group E after two matches with 6 absolute points.
