Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah have both scored in each of their two Champions League matches.
**Salah Shines as Liverpool Continue Perfect Champions League Start**
Liverpool’s Egyptian sensation, Mohamed Salah, was once again the star of the show as he celebrated scoring the team’s second goal during their UEFA Champions League clash against Bologna at Anfield on October 2, 2024. The Reds secured a convincing 2-0 victory, maintaining their flawless record in the competition.
The home side burst out of the blocks, and it didn’t take long for them to find the back of the net. Just 11 minutes into the match, Alexis Mac Allister tapped in from close range after a brilliant delivery from Salah, marking the Argentine’s first goal in Europe’s elite tournament. The Anfield faithful erupted in joy, setting the tone for what would be a thrilling evening.
Bologna, however, were not without their chances. The Italian side had a couple of near misses, striking the woodwork twice before the half-time whistle. Despite their efforts, they were unable to find the goal that would have silenced the passionate Liverpool crowd.
The second half proved to be a more cautious affair, with both teams probing for openings. It wasn’t until the 75th minute that Salah made his mark again, curling a stunning shot into the net. With that goal, he became the first Liverpool player to score in five consecutive Champions League home games, further solidifying his status as a club legend.
Looking ahead, Liverpool will aim to keep their momentum going as they head to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday. Meanwhile, Bologna will be hoping to bounce back as they host Parma in Serie A on Sunday. The stage is set for another exciting weekend of football.
