Community Shield: Liverpool equalized again

On the night of August 10, Liverpool continuously let Crystal Palace equalize despite taking the lead twice in the Community Shield match at Wembley.

Liverpool's new recruits made a strong impression in the first half of the Community Shield. Just four minutes into the game, Crystal Palace's net was shaken by Hugo Ekitike's moment of brilliance.

Despite Dean Henderson's best efforts, he was unable to stop the €80 million striker's low shot into the far corner. The assist for Ekitike was provided by the most expensive player in Premier League history, Florian Wirtz.

After conceding the goal, Crystal Palace rose strongly and unexpectedly equalized from Virgil Van Dijk's mistake in the 16th minute. From the penalty spot, Jean Mateta kicked a cool shot into the far corner, defeating Alisson Becker.

However, the joy of the FA Cup champions' fans did not last long. Just 4 minutes after equalizing, the "Blue Eagles" were pushed back into a chasing position. In an effort to escape down the sideline, Jerremy Frimpong finished with technique, sending the ball into the far corner of the goal, leaving Henderson helpless.

Liverpool's new recruits shine.

The first half ended with the advantage leaning towards coach Arne Slot and his team. The reigning Premier League champions are aiming for their 13th win in just 17 matches against Crystal Palace.

History is also not on Crystal Palace's side, as all four clubs that first appeared in the Community Shield recently lost. Faced with Liverpool's overwhelming strength, the London team will likely become the next team to fall at Wembley.

In the second half, Liverpool continued to dominate the game. Two consecutive opportunities opened up for Ekitike. However, the French star could not take advantage to complete his double. On the other hand, Crystal Palace only relied on high balls. In the 60th and 63rd minutes, Chris Richard and Eze had space but could not trouble Alisson.

In a losing game, Crystal Palace found an equalizer from an individual error on Liverpool's side. Starting from Cody Gakpo's loss of the ball in the 77th minute, Sarr quickly escaped, before defeating Alisson in a one-on-one situation.
