Liverpool had five more players featuring for their countries during a busy day on Friday.
The Reds have 15 of their first-team squad playing for senior international sides over the current break, with ten having now been out on the pitch.
There was a win for Scotland and Andy Robertson, with on-loan Ben Doak also shining and grabbing an assist for the winning goal against Croatia.
Wataru Endo was in action earlier in the day, and the Liverpool man captained Japan to a 3-0 win over Indonesia.
Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz also faced each other in Montevideo as Uruguay recorded an impressive 3-2 victory over Colombia.
And, finally, Conor Bradley made it a successful day all-round for the Liverpool squad as he starred in a 2-0 Northern Ireland win over Belarus. Given the reported reception Bradley earned from the Belfast crowd, the 21-year-old might have had the best day of all.
Conor Bradley earns standing ovation
Bradley came into the latest international break with a little more momentum that he did the last one.
The Liverpool academy graduate played most of the game for the Reds last Saturday after injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold against Aston Villa.
While that was a rare chunk of Premier League minutes for Bradley, though, he is very used to playing a more significant part when away with his country.
Bradley even captained Northern Ireland last time out, and though he did not receive that same honour against Belarus, the right-back seemingly did not let it bother him.

Given an eight out of ten by the Belfast Telegraph, Bradley was reportedly ‘tireless’ in his role from the ‘attacking right wing back role.’
The Liverpool defender is said to have ‘drove forward well’ in order to stretch Belarus to their limits.
And although he did not ultimately have a hand in either Northern Ireland goal, Bradley reportedly left to a standing ovation from the crowd when he exited for a well earned rest in the final minutes of the game.
Bradley stands out again
Another international break, more plaudits for Bradley. The youngster has quickly become a shining light for Northern Ireland.
And with Conor in the team, Michael O’Neil’s side have had a very good Nations League campaign.
It has not all been Bradley, of course, but the Liverpool full-back has heavily contributed to the Green and White Army sitting top of their group.
Having been a little underwhelming during his 10 appearances for the Reds so far this season, Bradley is like a different player when he pulls on the green of his nation.
And while we do believe his performances for Liverpool could do with a little lift, every time Bradley goes away on international duty it is a little reminder of just what a prospect this young man is.
