The reds (Liverpool) were in charge of their Champions League quarter-final first leg match against the Eagles (Benfica FC) on Tuesday as Sadio Mane, Ibrahima Konate and Luis Diaz handed them a 3-1 lead after the first leg in Lisbon.
Konate’s nod earned him his first Liverpool goal from a corner before Mane tapped home to pave way for Liverpool to be in control of the game at the Estadio da Luz.
However, a Konate error in the 49th minute gave the lively Darwin Nunez to shake the net for Benfica to earn a goal, but Luis Diaz, who was superb all night, added a late third to put Liverpool in sight of the semis.
The reds (Liverpool) is expected of finishing the job at Anfield next week, with manager Jurgen Klopp comfortable enough to take off Mohamed Salah, Mane and Thiago Alcantara after an hour.
