LASK 3-6 Liverpool: Frimpong and Barcola doubles seal nine-goal thriller in Linz

Liverpool secured their first win of the Champions League league phase with a stunning 6-3 victory over LASK in Linz, a match that produced nine goals and will be remembered as one of the most chaotic in the competition's history. The Reds opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when Konstantinos Tsimikas converted Ronald Araujo's cutback from a corner. Bradley Barcola doubled the lead two minutes later, and Florian Wirtz made it three in the 37th minute with a composed finish. Tsimikas grabbed his second early in the second half, before Barcola and Jeremie Frimpong extended the lead to 6-1. But LASK refused to lie down: Ivan Dibango scored a stunning hat-trick in just 14 minutes (63', 74', 77'), becoming only the second Austrian to score a treble in a Champions League match. Frimpong, who scored twice and provided two assists, was named Player of the Match. The win was Liverpool's first after three consecutive defeats, easing the pressure on manager Arne Slot. Liverpool now have three points from two matches, while LASK remain without a point. Can Liverpool build on this performance and challenge for the knockout stages.
