Dominik Szoboszlai (25), Liverpool's midfielder, opened the scoring with a beautiful execution in the match against Marseille, in round number 7 of the single group of the Champions League.
The Hungarian player managed to unlock the scoreboard right before the break, in the 45+1 minute, after the “cormorants” got a free kick from near the opponent's box.

Designated to take the free-kick from around 20 yards from goal, the Liverpool man took advantage of the hosts' inattention.
The French formed a wall of 4 players, but none of them stretched to prevent a possible execution on the grass, as is done most of the time.
Szoboszlai noticed this and sent a shot on the floor. As the Marseille players jumped, the ball went under their boots and into the net. Goalkeeper Rulli was fooled by the Hungarian and could not intervene. Such a goal is seen quite rarely in football.
It was Szoboszlai's 7th goal in 30 games this season. He also has 5 assists.
Liverpool managed to score for the first time in this match in the 23rd minute, through Ekitike, but the success was canceled due to offside.
