In this match, against a lower-division opponent, Liverpool made quite a few changes to their starting lineup. Many key players such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister were not named.

Meanwhile, with a thirsty spirit, Plymouth Argyle surprised Liverpool on their home field and won 1-0, thereby winning the right to continue.

After a goalless first half, the home team unexpectedly opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, after being awarded a penalty after midfielder Harvey Elliott handled the ball in the penalty area and Ryan Hardie successfully converted the penalty from the 11m mark.

After conceding the goal, Liverpool fought back strongly to find an equalizer, but Liverpool’s attacks could not defeat Plymouth goalkeeper Hazard.
