An extra-time goal from Roberto Firmino helps Liverpool beat Brazil's Flamengo 1-0 in the Club World Cup final and lift the trophy for the first time
Liverpool's Jordan Henderson lifts the trophy as they celebrate after winning the Club World Cup at the Khalifa International Stadium, Doha, Qatar - December 21, 2019.
Brazilian Firmino drilled home the winner in the ninth minute of extra time to secure victory for Juergen Klopp's European champions and Premier League leaders. Naby Keita was also badly off-target after being set up by Mohamed Salah, who again had his every touch roared by a large Egyptian contingent in the 45,000 crowd.
Joe Gomez had to make a last-ditch tackle to foil the dangerous Bruno Henrique and with skipper Everton Ribeiro dictating in midfield, Flamengo were showing exactly why they became South American champions under the wily charge of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus. The looks on the faces of the players suggested the England international's injury could be serious and another lengthy absence would be a bitter blow to the 26-year-old.
Qatari referee Abdulrahman Al Jassim pointed to the spot, ruling the former Bayern Munich defender had fouled Mane but left the field to check the VAR monitor and changed his decision after deciding the incident occurred outside the area.
