RB Leipzig 0-1 Liverpool Stats: Darwin Núñez Scores as Liverpool ...

The Arne Slot era at Liverpool continues to produce great results, with Darwin Núñez scoring the only goal of the game in this 1-0 win over RB Leipzig. Look back at the UEFA Champions League match with our RB Leipzig vs Liverpool stats centre, plus the key post-match Opta facts.

Darwin Núñez’s first-half goal was enough for Liverpool to seal another win, this time away at RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Liverpool have now won 11 of their 12 competitive matches under new manager Arne Slot, with this one of their hardest tests yet.

Leipzig thought they’d taken the lead through Loïs Openda in the 26th minute, but his excellent strike was (rightly) ruled out for offside. Just 95 seconds later, Núñez scored the only goal of the game, with his outstretched leg poking in Mohamed Salah’s goal-bound header.

Overall, Liverpool were good value for their win, having the majority of chances both in total and in quality. They were fortunate to see another Openda goal ruled out for offside in the second half, however.

Liverpool finish Matchday 3 as one of only two clubs with a 100% record still intact, alongside fellow Premier League side Aston Villa. They are only second to Unai Emery’s team on goal difference. RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are one of six teams yet to win a point in the league phase of the 2024-25 Champions League after the opening three matchdays.
