The first 45 minutes were Liverpool's electronic match. The English team led 2-1 and scored all 3 goals themselves. Except for 2 goals from Mane (9') and Wijnaldum (26'), Milner's own goal (15') ended the first half with many emotions for The Kop.
On the other side of the front line, Roma attacked continuously but the lack of sharpness in decisive situations prevented the Italian representative from scoring and suffered disadvantages after the first half.
The spirit of the " Rome II team" was most clearly demonstrated in the second half. No one thought they could fall into Liverpool's net by 3 goals. In a match that launched 25 shots, 2 of which were scored by Dzeko (52') and Nainggolan (86'). The Belgian midfielder's double on the penalty spot (90+3') was too late to save Roma.
In this match, Liverpool's trio F-S-M played underperformed, especially Salah and Firmino. Playing below the order, combined with the careful pair of home team defenders, prevented The Kop's sublime legs from scoring. However, saving energy is necessary when the final match is ahead.
