The game

Liverpool started the duel better, more dynamic and with more chances created, thus forcing good defenses from Bournemouth’s Brazilian goalkeeper Neto. Despite the dominance of the Reds, it was the hosts’ midfielder Philip Billing who opened the scoring in the 28th minute after a precise cross from Ouattara.

Needing to chase defeat, Liverpool began to pressure Bournemouth, who were defending to protect valuable three points in the fight against the stick. In the 24th minute of the final tournament, the Reds had their best chance to equalize after a penalty scored with VAR review. However, Mo Salah was eliminated and squandered the golden opportunity.
