Liverpool LOST to Crystal Palace on penalties and finished as runners-up in the English Super Cup (Community Shield).
The game at Wembley ended 2-2. And Palace won 3-2 on penalties.
The Super Cup pits the English Cup champion (Crystal Palace) against the Premier League champion (Liverpool).
This was the first time Palace had won this trophy in their history.
The RUNNERS-UP finish came after Liverpool had invested over 300 million euros (almost R$ 2 billion) in the transfer window.
This Sunday (10), Liverpool featured new signings 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.
However, Crystal Palace didn't give up. Ismaïla Sarr suffered a penalty, and Mateta equalized.
Another debutant put Liverpool back in the lead. Frimpong (ex-Leverkusen) crossed and beat the goalkeeper.
Palace (12th in the last PL) equalized in the second half with Ismaila Sarr and took the dispute to penalties.
Salah MISSED the first shot, and Crystal Palace won 3-2 to become champions.
The clubs now turn their attention to the Premier League.
Liverpool hosts Bournemouth at 4 pm on Friday (15). And Crystal Palace visits Chelsea at 10 am on Sunday (17).
