At Nissan Stadium (Japan), coach Arne Slot fielded a starting lineup with many stars such as Van Dijk, Salah, Gravenberg and three new players: goalkeeper Mamardashvili, Hugo Ekitike and especially Wirtz. In the first 20 minutes of the first half, Liverpool, despite having more possession of the ball, did not create enough danger on the Japanese club's goal. Newcomer Ekitike was still not really in tune with Liverpool's style of play and was closely monitored by the opponent.
Liverpool played quite stalemately when the satellites on the attack line such as Salah, Ekitike or Wirtz could not find the connecting thread. In the second half, Liverpool continued to push the squad up from the first minutes. However, Yokohama F. Marinos was the team that opened the score thanks to Asahi Uenaka's goal in the 55th minute after an uncomfortable tight-angle shot.
Liverpool immediately rose up fiercely. Within 6 minutes, from minute 62 to minute 68, the English club scored 2 goals against Yokohama F. Marinos. Notably, Wirtz scored in minute 62. The former Leverkusen star ran into the right range of the ball and easily finished the ball into the opponent's net. This was the German talent's first goal for his new club.
In the remaining minutes, young player Rio Ngumoha contributed 1 goal to help Liverpool end the match with a score of 3-1.
After this match, Slot and his team will have the next friendly match against Athletic Bilbao on August 4.
