Triumphant qualification with a hat-trick for Liverpool in the second 45 minutes
Liverpool prevailed 3-0 against Ajax with Salah, Nunes and Elliott scoring for the ‘Reds’ who once again showed two faces during the game. Klopp’s side have qualified and have a shot at first place with a win over Napoli in the last game.
Liverpool prevailed 3-0 against Ajax with Salah, Nunes and Elliott scoring for the ‘Reds’ who once again showed two faces during the game. In the first half and up to the 35th minute, the guests hadn’t finished yet, but then increased their performance, especially in the second 45 minutes, where they showed a completely different face.
Klopp’s team, now in their last game, can also claim first place if they defeat Napoli by a higher score than their 4-1 defeat in Italy.
Ajax were better in the first part of the game and could have opened the scoring in just 3 minutes, but Berkhaus’ shot from the top of the penalty spot hit Alisson’s left crossbar.
The home side continued to have the upper hand and threatened Liverpool’s home ground but failed to achieve a good final. On the other hand, the guests threatened Robertson for the first time in the 34th minute.
In the 42nd minute, Henderson played a great through ball to Salah, with the Egyptian being wonderfully placed to beat the Ajax keeper and score the first goal.
Just before the end of the first half, Liverpool hid the ball and it popped up down the left at the feet of Nunes, who actually scored in an empty goal but marked Pasfeer’s right post.
The Reds’ center forward got his blood back early in the second half when he headed in from a corner from the left and sent the ball into the net to make it 2-0 for Liverpool.
The visitors ‘secured’ the win in the 52nd minute when Salah fed Elliott, who entered the box and scored his second Champions League goal.
