Hakpo scored in all three group stage matches of the World Cup in Qatar last year and was responsible for three of the Netherlands’ five goals. The Dutch advanced to the quarterfinals thanks to Hakpo’s performance. Hakpo, who played for Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie (first division) and scored 9 goals and 12 assists in 14 games this season, wore a Liverpool uniform in December of last year. Liverpool paid 40 million pounds (approximately 61.5 billion won) for Hakpo’s transfer. Hakpo, who had been scoreless in six official games until the previous day, eased the burden with a goal that day. “I knew the journey would not be easy,” said Hakpo. I am happy to score my first goal today.”
With this victory, Liverpool broke their 4-game winless streak (1 draw, 3 losses) this year. In particular, the joy was added by winning the ‘Merseyside Derby’ against Everton. The derby between two teams based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, is the oldest English first division derby, dating back to 1894. With 32 points (9 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses), Liverpool surpassed Chelsea (31 points) and rose to ninth place. Coach Jurgen Klopp (56), who won 250 official victories in Liverpool, said, “I was relieved to win in five matches. Hakpo and Salach, as well as Núñez, who recorded help, did well.”
