Cody Gakpo and Jeremy Jacquet have scored, and the Reds have also looked solid defensively as they are leading Como 2-0 at the half.
Liverpool started the match with a high press, and it resulted in plenty of possession in the attacking third. Alexander Isak hit the post in the 8th minute. After a Como corner was cleared, Cody Gakpo muscled past a pair of defenders, but he could not find Isak in front of the goal.
With Liverpool throwing numbers forward, Como earned a corner on the counterattack in the 18th minute, but it was cleared. Domonik Szoboszlai missed a golden opportunity, but Gakpo did not. In the 23rd minute, he found the bottom corner of the net after an assist from Jeremie Frimpong.
Frimpong then came away with a timely tackle in the box to prevent a Como goal, and Alisson came away with a save. Jacquet produced a defensive header later in the half and tapped in a shot in the 44th minute to double the lead at 2-0.

Very strong first half by the Reds in all areas. Frimpong has stood out by not only providing the assist but also providing strong defense as well. Jacquet has also been strong as well with the late finish.
