On another night, this scoreline could have been anything, with both sides creating plenty of chances in an engrossing encounter. Liverpool had started the game the better, with Paulo Gazzaniga setting the tone for his performance with early saves to deny Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez before Girona settled into the contest. Arnaut Danjuma, Miguel Gutierrez and Yaser Asprilla created plenty, and Alisson was called upon to preserve his own clean sheet with a couple of sharp saves. In the second half, Girona's attack lost their way though, and it was Gazzaniga who was the busier of the keepers. He couldn't deny Salah's spot kick though, ensuring Liverpool claimed the three points.
