Liverpool secured a 3-1 comeback victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in a preseason friendly held at Nissan Stadium, Japan, concluding their Far East tour. The match was initially in doubt due to a tsunami warning following an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia's eastern coast but proceeded safely after reassurances.

Yokohama opened the scoring early in the second half courtesy of Asahi Uenaka, who capitalized on a slick team move. Liverpool responded quickly, with Florian Wirtz netting his first goal for the club following impressive work from Mohamed Salah on the right wing. The Premier League champions took full control in the latter stages as two teenagers, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha, added further goals. Nyoni, aged 18, scored with an acrobatic finish after a precise cross from Jeremie Frimpong, while 16-year-old Ngumoha completed the scoring with a stunning solo strike.

New signing Hugo Ekitike, arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69 million, made his debut for Liverpool and showed promising signs, nearly scoring with an audacious back-heel. Cody Gakpo also came close, hitting the post during the match.

Liverpool's goalkeeper duties were handled by Giorgi Mamardashvili in the absence of Alisson Becker, who returned to Brazil for personal reasons. Mamardashvili produced a notable save to deny Jun Amano before halftime.
