Post-Game: Konate, Mane and Diaz edge Reds towards Champions League Semi-Final | Benfica 1 - 3 Liverpool

Advantage Liverpool as they defeat Benfica 3-1 in Lisbon at the Estadio da Luz in the Champions League Quarter final first leg. You’re listening to the Post Game Podcast with Patrick Smith courtesy of the Liverpool ECHO and thanks to goals from Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz the Reds have the advantage heading into next week’s second leg at Anfield. Liverpool dominated the first half with an Ibou Konate header and a superb team goal finished off by Sadio Mane taking the Reds into a deserved 2-0 lead, which could and perhaps should have been more. The hosts came out fighting in the second half and caused a scare when the brilliant young forward Darwin Nunez clawed one back, but Luis Diaz would have the last laugh against his former Portuguese club rivals, rounding the keeper to ensure Liverpool would head home with a two goal advantage. Stick around with me on the post game podcast, as we bring you the reaction from the Press Box with Paul Gorst, the dugout with Jurgen Klopp, and the stands with the Liverpool fans.
