37 mins: From a Flamengo corner Salah wins the ball and bursts down the left. Infield, four red shirts streak forward, with one defender to deal with them. But Gerson comes over and positions himself brilliantly to block Salah’s infield options, and though the Egyptian could have cut onto his right foot and opened the pitch up instead he tries to curl the ball in with his left, and picks out the one defender.
36 mins: They eventually go forward, and instantly lose it. Still, it’s a spell of controlled possession, and Liverpool have needed one of those for a while.
