It didn’t take long for Lucas Lemos, of Liverpool, to receive two yellow cards and be ejected in the 37th minute. However, the squad still managed to maintain dominance and lead at the half.
The second half saw Nacional attacking and applying pressure, with the first clear scoring opportunity coming in the 58th minute, when the player Camilo Cándido had a one-on-one with the goalkeeper Lentinelly. Lentinelly was able to clear the shot, allowing Liverpool to prevail and secure their second Super Cup in their cabinet.
