27 July 2024 at 06:12 Liverpool won in Slot’s first game Arne Slot got off to a good start as new Liverpool manager. In Friday’s practice match against Real Betis in the USA, the English won 1-0. The scoring came ten minutes before half-time at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, USA. Dominik Szoboszlai put the ball into the goal after being played in by Mohamed Salah. It was also the only score in the match, which was the first for Dutch Arne Slot after he took over as Liverpool manager from Jürgen Klopp this summer. He saw, among other things, that the team controlled most of the game in the first half, and that they were closer to 2-0 than the Spaniards were to equalise. Liverpool started with familiar names such as Endo, Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones, Konstantinos Tsimikas and the aforementioned Salah and Szoboszlai were in the starting line-up. With half an hour left in normal time, Liverpool changed a total of eight players. In came Liverpool’s youngsters, but that did not stop the team from dominating the game on the pitch. Real Betis created few chances, but perhaps should have equalized when Rodri came alone with the goalkeeper from an oblique angle towards the end of the game. The match ended 1-0 to Liverpool. Big Liverpool names such as Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Diego Jota, Trent Alexander Arnold, Darwin Núñez and Louis Diaz were not in the squad for the match. Liverpool will face both Arsenal and Manchester United during their pre-season in the USA. (NTB)
