On FIFA 23, we created a scenario for the Premier League match between Liverpool and Bournemouth on Saturday. Darwin Nez did well and earned a point.
When Liverpool hosts Bournemouth on Saturday, they will be looking to improve on their unsuccessful Premier League debut and secure their first victory of the year.
Last weekend’s 1-1 tie between Liverpool and Chelsea became the sixth straight draw between the two teams thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Axel Disasi. However, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool will play at Anfield for the first time this campaign on Saturday when they take on Bournemouth.
The Cherries shocked everyone by winning the most recent meeting between the teams, 1-0, although the Reds destroyed Bournemouth 9-0 in the previous match at Anfield last season.
Wataru Endo, a Japanese midfielder, has arrived at Liverpool ahead of this coming Saturday, but he might not make the team. So, is it possible that Liverpool will win on Saturday? Let’s look at it.
Using FIFA 23, we updated the squads with the most recent transfers, suspensions, and injuries to complete this simulation. Both teams are wearing the uniforms from the 2022–23 season because FIFA 23 does not have the most recent kits or jerseys.
A defensive blunder allowed Diogo Jota to get through the goalkeeper and score Liverpool’s opening goal only three minutes, giving the Reds the perfect start at Anfield. As the Cherries failed to gain a foothold in the game, Klopp’s team continued to push for goal, and in the 13th minute, Mohamed Salah doubled the lead.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was set free down the right after an Alexis Mac Allister and Trent Alexander-Arnold one-two, and the defender saw Salah’s run with an inch-perfect through ball. The Egyptian received the pass in his direction, took a left turn, cut around the goalkeeper, and curled into the far corner to double the lead.
Just before halftime, Salah converted a penalty after Ibrahima Konaté was brought down in the box. The winger scored a goal right down the center to make it three. For the majority of the second half, the Reds played it safe and dominated the pace of the game, but substitute Darwin Nez scored the game’s fourth and decisive goal in the 87th minute.
Salah noticed Nez running in the middle as he skipped past his marker on the right and hit the striker with a lofted ball over the top of the defense. Nez’s quickness allowed him to elude his defender, and the Uruguayan fired a strong shot into the far corner to make it 4-0.
