Despite not having the strongest squad, Liverpool still entered the match confidently and continuously threatened Real Betis’ goal. After about 15 minutes, the Spanish representative began to regain control of the game and play an open game with Liverpool.
However, that was Liverpool’s favorite game. In the 34th minute, Salah dribbled the ball and then made a very precise pass for Szoboszlai to finish diagonally into Real Betis’ net. At the end of the first half, Real Betis rose up to find an equalizer, but their strikers lacked the coolness in finishing.
In the second half, both coaches Arne Slot and Manuel Pellegrini sent a series of young players onto the field. However, the American audience still witnessed an attractive open game. In the 67th minute, Liverpool players coordinated like they were playing in a practice match to tear apart Real Betis’ defense, but unfortunately Gordon’s shot went wide even though the goal was wide open.
In the 78th minute, Real Betis had a good chance to equalize. Rodri broke Liverpool’s offside trap and shot, but reserve goalkeeper Jaros made a brilliant save for the Reds. That was also the last notable moment of the match.
On August 1, Liverpool will have their next friendly match against Arsenal.
