# Liverpool took the lead in the first half, but 2% lacked decision power
The team that took the lead in the first half was Liverpool. They took the share and pressed Manchester United. Instead, Manchester United continued the game through counterattacks while lowering the line more carefully. Liverpool also showed a careful attack deployment to prepare for Manchester United’s counterattack rather than an excessive attack. Arnold and Robertson also seemed to avoid overlapping as much as possible. In particular, he focused on preventing the advance of Manchester United by appropriately utilizing the offside trap.

Two minutes after the start of the match, Robertson, who received a pass from Bynaldoom, hits a shot from inside the penalty box, but misses. In the 16th minute of the first half, Manet’s pass was shot by Firminou but flew to the side of the goal.
