Liverpool 2:0 Como — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Cody Gakpo scored once and created the other as Liverpool beat Como 2-0 in a Club Friendly Game. The midfielder, playing on home soil at Anfield, struck first after twenty-three minutes and then turned provider for Jérémy Jacquet just before the break to settle the contest inside the opening half.

The turning point arrived early when Gakpo finished from Jeremie Frimpong's assist in the twenty-third minute, and the tie was effectively killed eleven minutes later as Jacquet converted Gakpo's cross. Como pushed after the interval but could not find a reply, with only three yellow cards, two for Liverpool, punctuating a scrappy period that saw no red cards or VAR interventions.

The numbers told a tale of Italian dominance without reward: Como held fifty-eight percent possession, fired fourteen shots to Liverpool's ten, and won eight corners to four, though the hosts edged the first half with eight attempts to five before being overrun after the restart. Gakpo's rating of 9.3 out of ten from midfield made him the clear standout despite his side being outplayed on the balance of play. CheckLive's model did not weigh in on this one, and with no next fixture scheduled, Liverpool will simply take the win and the sharpness gained.
