The Merseyside squad secured a 3-1 turnaround victory against Yokohama F. Marinos in their most recent exhibition match.
Goalscorers: Uenaka 55′; Wirtz 62′, Nyoni 68′, Ngumoha 87′
The Anfield side gave Hugo Ekitike his initial starting opportunity at the Nissan Stadium, with fellow summer additions Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz also in the first eleven.
Asahi Uenaka initiated the scoring for the home team ten minutes into the latter half, delivering a placed shot after evading the offside position and beating Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Nevertheless, a slickly executed play resulted in the Reds equalizing, thanks to Wirtz’s initial goal for the club in a cohesive team maneuver after receiving a pass from Mohamed Salah.
Arne Slot’s team eventually assumed the lead when Jeremie Frimpong’s probing pass was connected with by academy product Trey Nyoni, who poked it into the net at the back post.
Rio Ngumoha increased the advantage in the final moments with a noteworthy individual piece of play.
Liverpool’s next challenge is a double fixture with Athletic Club at Anfield on August 4th.
