The referee blew the whistle at exactly 6:30 PM, kick-starting the eagerly awaited match between Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Roberto Firmino, Liverpool's center-forward, already positioned at the center spot, booted the ball and guided it back towards his midfield. Georginio Wijnaldum swiftly picked it up before playing it towards the left flank to find Andrew Robertson, Liverpool's left-back.
By then, the Brighton players were already flooding forward, with Glenn Murray, their center-forward, leading the charge to high press. But Andrew Robertson remained composed, playing the ball to Joe Gomez in defense.
As Gomez received the ball, Zachary immediately ran back into Liverpool's defensive midfield pocket of space, making himself available for his teammate. And just as expected, Gomez spotted him and played the ball to Zachary.
