The Mexican side came close to shock the world, but a key assist by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Firmino's finish sealed the deal for the Reds.

Liverpool did not have the best of games in their 2019 FIFA Club World Cup debut, but Bobby Firmino came to the rescue to avoid extra time with a delightful finish as the game against Monterrey neared its conclusion.

The Reds struggled to get past Monterrey's well-placed defense despite earning the opening goal in the first minutes of the game, and things got worse for Klopp's men when Argentine striker Funes Mori leveled the game.

Monterrey enjoyed a few chances to win the game, but Liverpool's players cornered the CONCACAF Champions League winners as time expired.

Just when the game seemed to be heading into extra time, Roberto Firmino took advantage of a poor defensive display by Rayados to score the game-winning goal just seconds after stoppage time had begun.
