Liverpool delivered in their match yesterday against Union Saint-Gilloise in a match that was more complicated than expected. Jurgen Klopp's team did not feel entirely comfortable on the pitch. The Brussels team gave everything on the pitch and time and again they had dangerous arrivals that could put Brazilian goalkeeper Alison Becker in trouble. However, the result was positive.

Unlike the previous match, the rotations did not work for Jurgen Klopp's side. The German decided to send to the field a combination of starters and non-starters. The result was a goal by Ryan Gravenberch in the final minutes of the first half. It should be noted that Gravenberch showed important things in yesterday's match and even came close to scoring a brace.

Although Liverpool tried to give depth with the wingers, the crosses were eventually rejected by the opponent. Similarly, Wataru Endo did not have his best game of the season. The Japanese has received several opportunities with the Anfield team.  Nevertheless, everything seems to indicate that Endo is not yet fully accustomed to the pace of play of Liverpool and especially to the Premier League.

In turn, the entry of Diogo Jota gave a little more security in the offensive. However, this boost in the match came until the last minutes. A goal from Diogo Jota in the 90th minute sealed a bittersweet victory from Anfield. On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp himself acknowledged in a press conference that his rotations did not yield positive results. For this reason, it seems that the line-up against Brighton could vary. In the same way, before starting the match there was an emotional situation.

The emotional situation of the game

It should be noted that Alexis Mac Allister faced his brother Kevin Mac Allister yesterday, who is a player of Union Saint-Gilloise. That moment captured the spotlight of Anfield. Also, the  Mac Allister Family was spotted in one of the boxes at Anfield. Before the match, there was an emotional situation between the two brothers who were chilling together despite being rivals.
