‘GREAT TEST’

both sides showed they are putting in 100 percent work and it was a very good test for both side because Liverpool came expecting a very good game and we also expected a good game from them and we both gave the recommended intensity of the game,” Daka said

Daka broke the deadlock within three minutes of kick off, burying the ball past Liverpool’s Alisson Becker with a cool finish.

It took him just 10 minutes to complete his brace on 13th minute after the Reds were carved open down the right.

The former Nchanga Rangers and Power Dynamos striker slid across low from the left and managed to find the corner of the net via a deflection from Alisson who couldn’t quite get enough on it before substitute Rhian Brewster scored a second half brace to rescue the English Champions from losing.

Meanwhile, Daka’s country- mate Enock Mwepu who was a marvel to watch as Salzburg played his favourite club said; “Playing against Liverpool FC will forever be one of the greatest feelings in the world.”

“We knew the game would be intense and we were ready for it. It was a great game. Thank you to the fans that came out to support us,” Said the former NAPSA Stars player whose dream is to one day feature for the EPL champions. And Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch hailed his players for putting up a spirited fight against Liverpool who were trailing 2-0 at half time thanks to Daka’s first half brace. Marsch said the game was an eye opener for the Austrian champions on where the team needs to improve going into the 2020/2021 soccer season.
