Mark Gonzalez returns to be the protagonist in a duel of legends of the Liverpoohe. This time, in a charity duel played at Anfield, the former national team scored the second goal in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Celtic.
The opening of the account was the work of Steven Gerrard. At 38′, the eternal captain scored from twelve steps with a close shot on the right post. The red team went to rest winning by the minimum account, however, this would not last long.
The Chilean entered the complement and it didn’t take long to make the most outstanding play of the match, as he scored in the first minute of the second half. González received a through ball down the left flank and entered the box displaying his speed. There, he faced and hooked inside, overtaking his mark and leaving him sprawled on the floor. The left-handed raised his head and finished off at the near post before the astonished gaze of the goalkeeper, who did not react.
It is worth mentioning that among the Liverpool figures were Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Steve McManaman, Sami Hyypia, Martin Skrtel, Luis Garcia, Jerzy Dudek, among others, while at Celtic Robbie Keane, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Stiliyan Petrov stood out.
It should be noted that the man trained at Universidad Católica had just scored three goals in two games with the Reds. In May 2022, the Chilean scored a brace, including a great free-kick goal, in the win over Manchester United. Meanwhile, last September, he scored a goal in a new victory against the Red Devils.
