Julian Alvarez made his debut with a goal: This is how the Manchester City vs. Liverpool 1-1 match went.

Manchester City did not have a good attacking performance against Liverpool in the Community Shield, but the problems were solved by Julián Álvarez, who was making his official debut. The Argentine forward was alert in the small area to pick up a rebound and beat goalkeeper Adrián: the action had been disallowed, but VAR rectified it.

The match approached 70 minutes and the 'Citizens' still lacked clarity in their offensive play. However, an efficient counterattack came, which was precisely caused by the 'Spider', who retreated to his own half and took the ball away from Colombian Luis Díaz.

After that, the ball went to Bernardo Silva and the Portuguese opted to look for Julián Álvarez. The aerial pass was difficult to control, but the forward solved it well: he made a header touch to Erling Haaland. The Norwegian controlled the ball and quickly opened up the field to Kevin de Bruyne on the right.

The Belgian midfielder settled and assisted Phil Foden, who arrived unmarked to finish in front of Adrián. Initially, the goalkeeper made the save, but left a long rebound, which was seized by the former River Plate player, who appeared to score, surprising everyone in Liverpool.

However, the celebration was halted by an offside called by referee Craig Pawson's assistant. Immediately, the play was reviewed by VAR and there was a correction minutes later, as there was no offside or foul in the action. After the goal was confirmed, Julián Álvarez was embraced by his teammates and received the support of Pep Guardiola.
