Shortly after the game began, Mane raised his elbow and struck Azpilicueta in the face as he scrambled for a header, which gave him a yellow card. In the 5th minute, Liverpool launched a quick counterattack, Mane received the ball on the left side of the midfield and advanced with the ball, and then sent a cross, Rudiger preemptively released the ball, but he kicked the ball in the direction of his own goal, fortunately Mendy was very focused, saved the ball out, and avoided the appearance of a oolong ball. Pulisic then had a great one-handed chance, but instead of taking the first shot, he thought about dropping the goalkeeper, only to be saved by Kelleher.
In the 8th minute, Liverpool scored! Chaloba made a low-level mistake at the top of the arc of the penalty area, Mane grabbed the ball, burst into the box with the ball, and the horizontal dribble opened the door to shoot with his feet, and the ball entered the net. Four minutes later, Thiago Silva sent a superb cross and Alonso stepped forward, but unfortunately failed to unload the ball inside the box. In the 18th minute, Alonso received a cross from the left side of the penalty area and volleyed straight in the air, kicking high. Three minutes later, Salah's one-handed push was saved, but he was already offside and it was useless to score.
In the 25th minute, Liverpool scored again! This time it was Salah's goal, who shook Alonso in a fake move on the right side of the penalty area, then pushed it from a small angle and sent the ball into the goal. Liverpool lead by two goals. In the 35th minute, Salah had a great one-handed chance, but Chaloba, who was on time to defend, let the shovel kick the ball away and defuse the situation. In the 41st minute, Chelsea scored! Alonso fired a free-kick from the right and the ball was saved and Kovacic at the top of the arc of the penalty area volleyed straight into the air, and the ball drilled into the goal like a cannonball. This foot world wave is too inexplicable.
In the 45th minute, Chelsea scored again! Kante sent a provocative cross in front of the field, Pulisic stepped forward, burst into the box to get a one-handed chance to face the goalkeeper, and he calmly volleyed in! Pulisic saved Chelsea. Both sides returned to the same running line. Liverpool were in a good situation, with a two-goal lead equalised. Subsequently, Havertz's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by the defender in front of him, and Mount made up for it in front of the goal, sweeping the ball in the direction of the goal, and the result was slightly off the left upright, which was really bad.
