Liverpool FC have taken a big step towards the Champions League final. The team of ex-BVB coach Jürgen Klopp won the semi-final first leg in their home stadium on Anfield Road (51,586 spectators) 2-0 (0-0) against FC Villareal from Spain on Wednesday evening.
The Reds went through an own goal in the 53rd minute by Pervis Estupinan, who deflected a cross from Mohamed Salah into his own goal. A lucky, albeit well-deserved lead, which Liverpool FC increased to the final score just two minutes later with a right-footed shot from around 16 meters by Sadio Mané. The Premier League club missed a number of great opportunities during the game.
