Marinos at the Nissan Stadium, despite facing challenging conditions and an early setback.

Goals from Florian Wirtz, Trey Nyoni, and Rio Ngumoha completed the comeback for the Reds.

The new German signing was awarded Man of the Match for his performance.

The match served as an important test for Arne Slot’s new-look squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Hugo Ekitike finally made his Liverpool debut after completing his £79 million move from Eintracht Frankfurt, starting in attack alongside Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.

The French striker was given 45 minutes to showcase his abilities, with Slot having indicated pre-match that the new signing would only feature for half the game.

Ekitike showed his good touch when receiving an early ball from Salah and made efforts to combine with his attacking teammates, though he was unable to create any clear scoring opportunities in his first appearance for the club.

The striker did show promising moments, including an audacious backheeled effort from Conor Bradley’s cross that was well saved by the home goalkeeper.

17-year-old Rio Ngumoha impressed once again and is making a real case to be a first-team squad member when the Premier League season kicks off in just over two weeks.

Ngumoha capped off Liverpool’s comeback with a stunning solo goal.

The young winger, who had been impressing throughout pre-season, picked up possession and embarked on a mazy run that left several Yokohama defenders in his wake before finishing clinically.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah produced a masterful performance in the first half, dictating play with a series of long passes.

The Egyptian’s vision and passing range were on full display as he consistently found teammates in dangerous positions, and was running the show at times in that first half.

One of the most notable talking points throughout the match was the poor state of the Nissan Stadium pitch, which drew criticism from players, fans, and observers alike.

The surface appeared dry and uneven, causing the ball to bounce unpredictably and making it difficult for both teams to maintain rhythm.

Multiple fans compared it to Sunday league conditions, with one noting it looked like “something you’d find in a Sunday league match, given all the divots”.

Looking ahead, Liverpool will return to Merseyside to prepare for a double-header against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on August 4, before opening their competitive campaign against Crystal Palace in the FA Community Shield
