Rafa Silva managed to send the center to the Liverpool area which in the first instance seemed to have him controlled by the presence of Konaté on the edge of the small area and with the ball reaching his feet.

However, the Liverpool defender tried to clear the ball, but he stuck and did not hit the ball that was left at the feet of Uruguayan attacker Darwin Núñez, who controlled with one touch and defined for 1-2.
