[Now Sports]Liverpool, who were confirmed to be the first to advance to the Europa League in advance, lost 1:2 away to Belgium’s St. Giles in the last game of Group E on Thursday with half strength. Liverpool has many young players in charge, including Luke Chambers and Gan Na Bartley in the left and right backstops as well as backbone Jarell Quansah. The offensive line includes Doc and Gat Gordon, who is playing for the first time this season. The Dutch international Jia Bao forms a trident, and the three midfielders are Eliaji, Gudis Jones and Endo Hang.
After all, the half-strength attack and the fact that there were too many newcomers on the defensive line gave St. Giles, who was fighting for the line in this game, an opportunity to take advantage, especially since he was penetrated many times on the left. In the 21st minute, the opponent’s forward Gustav Nelson had a single chance, although he missed it, but it already sounded the alarm. As a result, in the 32nd minute, Gudis Jones was intercepted in the midfield, and St. Giles relied on a quick counterattack. Amora received the pass along the right and shot through the ten-finger gap of Kina’s boot with a single shot.
The Red Army received a corner kick from Gudis Jones on the right in the 40th minute. After getting rid of the opponent’s control in the penalty area, he shot into the net to equalize the score. However, the 1:1 only lasted 3 minutes. Si had a chance to counterattack on the left, once once more taking advantage of the Red Army’s empty defense, Peyadas received Amora’s pass and shot from outside the penalty area to make it 2:1 at halftime.
Although the Red Army replaced first-team players such as Gaffenbi, Zugomes and Daun Nunis in the second half, their offensive was still not as strong as the home team St. Kiles, and they almost conceded another goal in the 62nd minute. Peyadas had already ironed. The shot hit the net, but following a VAR review, Amora had a handball first and the goal was overturned. The Red Army later did not use Lus Dias or Subasnar who were sitting on the reserve bench. Instead, they sent in young players such as James McGanus and Shi Jianlang. The final score remained unchanged, 1: 2 lost.
Although Saint-Gilles won, Toulouse in the same group defeated Atletico Lisbon 2:1 in the same group. In the end, it was this Ligue 1 team that advanced with the Red Army. The second place had to play in the top 32, and Saint-Germain Rice will be relegated and play in the UEFA Europa League.
