Liverpool defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 in the match they played this Friday at Molineux Stadium, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, England's national cup and the oldest competition in the history of sports. According to the Argentine News Agency, the goals came in the second half: for the 'Reds', defender Andrew Robertson, forward Mohamed Salah, and midfielder Curtis Jones scored at five, seven, and 28 minutes respectively, while the home team's consolation goal was converted by attacker Hwang Hee-Chan in added time. With the victory, the Merseyside-based team advanced to the quarter-finals, where they will have to wait for the draw to find out their rival, in their quest for their ninth FA Cup in history, having won the last one in the 2021/22 season. The first chance of the game came from the visitors, with a first-time shot from World Cup-winning Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who hit with power from the edge of the area, although his shot went into the hands of goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. In a game whose goals came in the second half, the first was scored by Andrew Robertson at five minutes, receiving on the edge of the large area and taking a low, crossed left-footed shot that was unreachable for the opposing goalkeeper. Two minutes later, a through pass from midfielder Rio Ngunoh allowed Robertson to break down the left, whose cross back reached the second post and was pushed into the goal by Salah. When 28 minutes of the second half had passed, Curtis Jones received on the right side of the attack, faced towards the middle and shot low, threading a low shot past the right post of Johnstone. The worst moment of the match for Liverpool and for Argentina came at 36 minutes of the second half, with a hard foul by Hee-Chan on Mac Allister, which dragged his right knee and forced him to ask for a change, although he was able to walk off normally. The Wolves' only goal came at 45 minutes of the second half, with a long pass that left the mentioned South Korean attacker one-on-one, who faced the goalkeeper's rush from Alisson Becker and placed the ball on the second post, far from the Brazilian's reach.
