If there was any hope from the Salzburg fans before the away match against Liverpool, it was extinguished quickly. Already after just over half an hour, Mohammed Salah was able to put 3-0 up with his 17th goal in the European Games for Liverpool, making him the fourth best scorer in club history when it comes to games in Europe. But to get to first place he needs more than double his goal harvest. For up to Steven Gerrard, he had 41 goals for Liverpool.

But Salzburg would make the match exciting, igniting that hope for the away fan. Just three minutes after Salah's 3-0 goal, Hwang Hee-Chan was able to reduce, and the team brought in much needed energy at the break.

Salzburg came back

In the second it looked good for Liverpool at first, but then came the breed. In four minutes, the guests scored two goals. First a reduction through Takumi Minamino, and then it was time for Erling Braut Håland to net. Three minutes after entering the pitch, he set his fourth goal in his first two games in the Champions league, which only three players have done before.

But then the home team woke up again. After the loss against Napoli in the first match, the team was not ready to drop more points, and pressed hard to regain the lead. And in the end also came the goal. After a careless cleaning from Salzburg, Salah was able to set his second goal of the match. And that time Liverpool managed to hold on to the lead, winning by 4-3.
