GOALS

How the Game Went

The match started lively at Elland Road Stadium, with chances for both teams. In the first minute of the game, Okafor broke away at speed and shot across, low, but sent it wide. Then, Liverpool grew in performance and almost opened the scoring with a placed shot from Curtis Jones, which hit the crossbar. At 26 minutes, Van Dijk headed over the goal from a free kick into the area.

It was two minutes into the second half that Liverpool opened the scoring. Rodon made a wrong back pass in Leeds' ball exit, and it landed at Ekitike's feet, who invaded the penalty area and simply finished as Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri came out.

Three minutes later, Liverpool extended their lead on the scoreboard. Bradley stole the ball on the left side and crossed into the area. Lucas Perri came out of the goal, but Ekitike reached the ball first and pushed it into the net. After reviewing a possible offside, the goal was confirmed.

At 26 minutes, Leeds had a penalty awarded in their favor. Gnonto was brought down by Konaté inside the area, and after a monitor review, the referee pointed to the spot. Alisson guessed the right corner, but Calvert-Lewin struck hard on the right side and reduced the deficit for the home team.

A few minutes later, Leeds leveled the score. Aaronson found a good pass to Stach inside the area. The number 18 cut to the middle and got rid of the marking, finishing against Alisson's counter-foot to tie the score at Elland Road. But at 39 minutes, Liverpool turned it around. Gravenberch threaded a great ball, and MacAllister let it pass. The ball landed cleanly for Szoboszlai, who struck as the goalkeeper came out and scored.

At 50 minutes, already in stoppage time, Leeds did not give up and equalized the game again at the last moment. After a corner kick into the area, the ball was deflected and reached Tanaka at the far post. The player shot hard and beat Alisson, leveling the score once more.
