Jimmy Garoppolo couldn’t quite get it done in Super Bowl LIV.

The 28-year-old quarterback threw for 219 yards, finishing 20-of-31 passing with a touchdown and two interceptions, and was sacked once as the 49ers fell to the Chiefs, 31-20, after holding a 20-10 lead at halftime.

Take a look at how it went down:

1st quarter, 13:18 at SF 17

Garoppolo had the first completion of the game, an 11-yard pass to George Kittle. The throw kickstarted a 10-play, 62-yard drive for the 49ers, who got on the board with a 3-0 lead.

2nd quarter, 14:08 at SF 41

After tackling Deebo Samuel for loss, Bashaud Breeland intercepted Garoppolo . The Chiefs picked up the ball at their own 44-yard line, and they ended the drive with a field goal to take a 10-3 lead.

2nd quarter, 5:05 at KC 15

Garoppolo threw the first touchdown of the game, a 15-yard pass to Harvard product Kyle Juszczyk. The extra point was good to tie the game at 10.

In the third quarter, the 49ers doubled their lead with a 42-yard field goal from Robbie Gould and a 1-yard rush from Raheem Mostert.

To start the final frame, the Chiefs began crawling back. A 1-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce put the Chiefs within three with 6:13 to go, and a five-yard pass to Damien Williams made it 24-20 with 2:44 left.

4th quarter, 1:25 at SF 42

Garoppolo was sacked by Frank Clark for a loss of nine yards and a turnover on downs.

On the next play, Williams ran it 38 yards to the house to seal the deal for the Chiefs, 31-20.

4th quarter, 0:57 at SF 25

Garoppolo’s pass intended for Samuel was intercepted by Kendall Fuller.

Garoppolo finished the fourth quarter just 3-of-11 passing for 36 yards with an interception and a sack as the Chiefs took what could have been Garoppolo’s third Lombardi trophy and first as a starter, after winning with the Patriots in 2015 and 2017.
