Darwin Nunez scored four goals in the second half, helping Liverpool to defeat the RB Leipzig 5-0 in the friendly match at Red Bull on July 21.

Scoring: Salah 8, Nunez 48 (P), 51, 68, 90

Break away the criticism for not scoring in the first two friendly matches, Nunez sublimated against Leipzig. The $ 75 million striker pointed to the yard in the second half but scored after only two minutes, from the penalty. Nunez's kick was light and not too dangerous, but goalkeeper Leipzig was able to do better instead of pushing the ball into the net. The Uruguayan striker just needs to take the pressure to score.

The teammates also wanted Nunez to score their debut to the team, although Luis Diaz brought this penalty and at that time there were 11m stone experts like Fabinho, Jordan Henderson or Mohamed Salah. "The whole team is happy for Nunez with this performance," midfielder Joel Matip said.

Only three minutes after his first table, the 23 -year -old striker scored again. Alexander-Arnold rises and then pokes the slot for Nunez to cross the corner to prevent goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi the opportunity to stop. He continued to be cleaned by his teammate at the table with his father, when he only needed to cushion into the drum net from the crossroads of Harvey Elliott.

Not stopping there, Nunez received valuable opportunities from the effort from the middle of Fabio Carvalho. Instead of finishing, Carvalho passed the forbidden place for Nunez in a more favorable position. He put his heart on the far corner and goalkeeper Leipzig was once again defeated despite touching the ball.

Liverpool also played better in this match, when the players were not showing signs of being like two previous matches. Coach Jurgen Klopp also uses a strong team, and soon opened the score. The homeowner played awkwardly and let Firmino poked the slot for Salah to cushion into the net in the face.

"Perfect match," Klopp said. "The human body is like that. We need to gradually get acquainted with the matches. The most important part of the pre -season stage starts now."

Through three friendly matches, Liverpool won two, and lost one - before Man Utd. They will go to Salzburg on July 27, before kicking the last match with Strasbourg at Anfield later this month.
