The second half began, and Liverpool looked like a different team while most united players looked relaxed and complacent. Liverpool pressed high, harassed United's defenders, and created chance after chance. Matthew, who had been instrumental in United's first-half dominance, was now struggling to keep up with Liverpool's pace.
In the 55th minute, Liverpool's star player, Mohamed Salah, beat United's left back and delivered a pinpoint accurate cross into the box. Darwin Nunez headed the ball into the net, and Liverpool had pulled one back.
"GAME ON!" the commentator screamed. "LIVERPOOL HAS PULLED ONE BACK, AND UNITED'S LEAD IS DOWN TO ONE GOAL!"
But United didn't collapse. They kept pushing forward, trying to restore their two-goal advantage. However, Liverpool's momentum was unstoppable. In the 65th minute, Salah beat Matthew with his speed and delivered a powerful shot that left United's goalkeeper helpless.
