The referee awarded a free kick in favor of Liverpool, and Alexander-Arnold rushed to execute it, but goalkeeper Sam Johnstone controlled his shot in the 32nd minute.

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson started from the left side, before passing in front of the goal to his Hungarian teammate Dominik Soboszlai, who was prevented by Johnstone from scoring from a comfortable position in the 40th minute.

Liverpool finally managed to take the lead in stoppage time of the first half, through its defender Konate, who headed into the net, a cross from Jota.

Wolverhampton started the second half attacking, but Lemina made a mistake in passing the ball, and it was picked up by Salah, who shot from a comfortable position next to the far post in the 50th minute.

Johnston excelled again in blocking a powerful shot from Robertson in the 51st minute, before Wolverhampton succeeded in equalizing the score in the 56th minute, when Strand Larsen took advantage of Konate's delay in clearing the ball, reaching substitute Forbes, who in turn tried to shoot it, reaching Ait Nouri.
