Liverpool LOST to Crystal Palace on penalties and suffered the runner-up position in the English Super Cup (Community Shield).

The game ended in a 2 x 2 draw. And Palace won 3 x 2 on penalties.

The Super Cup pits the champion of the FA Cup (Crystal Palace) against the Premier League champion (Liverpool).

The RUNNER-UP came after Liverpool had invested more than 300 million euros (almost R$ 2 billion) in the transfer window.



How Crystal Palace x Liverpool went

This Sunday (10), Liverpool had the newly signed Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Ekitike among the 11 starters.

And it was precisely the debutant Ekitike (ex-Eintracht Frankfurt) who opened the scoring just four minutes in.

Crystal Palace, however, was not discouraged. Ismaïla Sarr was fouled, and Mateta equalized.

Another debutant put Liverpool back in the lead. Frimpong (ex-Leverkusen) crossed tightly and covered the goalkeeper.

Crystal Palace equalized in the second half with Ismaila Sarr and took the dispute to penalties.

Salah MISSED the first shot, and Crystal Palace came out on top to be crowned champion: 3 x 2.


Next games 🗓️

The clubs now turn their attention back to the Premier League.

Liverpool hosts Bournemouth at 4 pm on Friday (15). And Crystal Palace visits Chelsea at 10 am on Sunday (17).
