ROSE HERO: Salah assist, Szoboszlai shines to finishes off Real Betis but Trey Nyoni is a main character on Liverpool’s fiecy game at USA

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.

y far and away the most impressive, though, was Nyoni. Only just 17, he was excellent in midfield.

Coming on for the injured Jones, Nyoni was cool and calm in the middle of the pitch and almost every pass broke the opposition lines and found a teammate in a good position. The former Leicester City talent won’t be a familiar name to many Liverpool fans right now, but that doesn’t appear likely to remain the case for long.

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.
