Crystal Palace beat Liverpool on penalties to win the Community Shield | OneFootball

RESULT

What a moment for the 21-year-old - he took his penalty like you'd have expected Mo Salah to take his!

A Wembley hero in May and now in August!

PALACE WIN THE COMMUNITY SHIELD!!!!!!

It's more Wembley glory for Crystal Palace as Devenny smashes a stunning penalty past Alisson to seal the Community Shield with a 3-2 shootout win.

Another magical day for the Eagles, who fly higher and higher.

SZOBOSZLAI KEEPS LIVERPOOL ALIVE!

Best penalty so far? It's 2-2, but Palace have another chance to win it.

SOSA MISSES!

He cannot take that chance, hitting the bar with his effort.

Quite the shootout..

Palace now have a chance to win it with debutant Borna Sosa going up.

ELLIOTT MISSES!

Henderson is there again, this time to deny Harvey Elliott!

It's a very weak penalty, and could that be his last kick as a Red?

SARR MAKES IT 2-1!

Brilliant penalty from Sarr, who beats Alisson for a second time today.

He loves playing against Liverpool.

GAKPO GETS LIVERPOOL ON THE BOARD!

Back in business? No mistake from the Dutchman, who makes it 1-1.

EZE MISSES!

It's a poor penalty from the FA Cup matchwinner, who tries to play Alisson but fails to.

The Liverpool keeper stands strong to save it.

HENDERSON DENIES MAC ALLISTER!

Massive for Palace, as Henderson does it again at Wembley.

Mac Allister's penalty is not the best, but it is a brilliant save from the keeper.

MATETA MAKES NO MISTAKE AGAIN!

Same side as his one earlier in the afternoon. Alisson goes the right away but can't get to it. 1-0 Palace.

SALAH SPOONS IT OVER THE BAR!

Just as he did against Athletic Club days ago, Salah punts one over into the Liverpool fans. Amazing.

Right, here we go.

Liverpool won both tosses of the coin, so will be going first in front of their end. Will they be two big factors?

This is the sixth time in the last nine years that it's come to spot kicks.

Liverpool lost two of those, to Man City and Arsenal in 2019 and 2020.

Third time lucky or will history repeat itself again?

FULL TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 2-2 LIVERPOOL

So, after a thrilling 90 minutes in which Palace twice pegged back Liverpool, it will be a penalty shootout to decide this year's Community Shield.

Justin Devenny, who came on for Guéhi, almost makes a stunning immediate impact.

Eze plays the ball across the edge of the box to the defender, whose shot flashes wide of the post.

Henderson does very well to come out and claim Andy Robertson's cross with Salah lurking.

Guéhi will have to come off here.

A concern for Glasner ahead of their Premier League opener against Chelsea.

Hopefully it's just cramp.

Guéhi is down getting treatment as Liverpool earn a corner.

Five minutes of added time.

Penalties loom large!

Salah missed a great chance by his standards minutes ago, and is now in the book for a blatant foul on Eze.

Not at his usual levels today.

Just a reminder - this will go straight to penalties if all square at the end of normal time.

Wharton is off too, with Jefferson Lerma on.

Wirtz is off for Harvey Elliott, who has been linked with a move away.

Could this be his Liverpool swansong?

Mateta fires over in comical fashion after Palace get away on the break.

They look the more likely to win this, and it would be deserved.

The ball did hit Mac Allister's hand before it fell to Kerkez, but a VAR check came and went without a penalty being awarded. Questionable.

Sarr almost gets another to make it 3-2 right away but Kerkez is there with a brilliant block.

10 minutes to go here, and it's anyone's game.

GOOOOOAL! PALACE ARE LEVEL AGAIN!

Those defensive frailties are there for all to see.

Gakpo loses the ball in his own half, and Adam Wharton slips in Sarr past van Dijk, and he makes no mistake with a fine finish.

Hard to disagree with Carragher here - it's a lot of change to a very settled side last season, both in terms of personnel and playing style.

Liverpool do look light at the back. Could Palace skipper Marc Guéhi be the answer?

Looks like the German superstar is a false 9.

Another option for Arne Slot up top. Might Alexander Isak be one soon too?

Goal hero Ekitike is off after a very strong debut, as is Curtis Jones.

That will mean Wirtz's role changes, with him either playing off the left or as a false 9.

It is very hot at Wembley, and we have another cooling break now.

Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister will be on after it, but for who?

BIG CHANCE AND BIG SAVE!

Alisson to the rescue again.

Szoboszlai gives away the ball cheaply in his own half, allowing Palace to pile forward.

Eze gets a shot away but the Brazilian is there with a big hand to deny him.

Chance for Palace but Richards heads straight into the palms of Alisson, rather than across the box for Mateta to likely tap home.

Let off for Liverpool.

Like in the first half, Ekitike has the first chance of the second.

However, this time he blazes over from Kerkez's cutback.

And we're back underway at Wembley.

Can Palace mount a comeback?

HALF TIME!

Liverpool lead at the end of an end-to-end first half.

More of the same please in 15 minutes.

Wirtz gets the second yellow of the day for kicking the ball away.

Bar that, it's been an impressive first 45 from the £100m+ man.

Just the seven minutes of added time here..

Water, celebrations and a penalty will do that.

Ekitike has taken to English football with ease so far, going shoulder to shoulder with Chris Richards and winning a throw-in.

Another player signed from Germany, Ibrahima Konaté, is the first to go into the book for a foul on Mateta.

The Palace forward got the other side of the Liverpool man, but was quickly taken down.

Both goals and assists for Liverpool have come from players bought from the Bundesliga.

2025/26 - Made in Germany?

Hughes blasts over from inside the box as Palace look to draw level again.

Cracking game so far.

We all have different ways of expressing joy.

Daichi Kamada's day is done due to injury, with Will Hughes on as his replacement.

The players are taking a quick water break.

It's safe to say they've earned it.

GOOOAL! LIVERPOOL BACK IN THE LEAD!

What a start to the season this is.

It's a second Liverpool goal, and it's a second from a debutant.

Jeremie Frimpong gets the ball out wide on the right after a raking cross field from Dominik Szoboszlai. He puts in a wayward cross that loops over Henderson and into the net.

He might claim he meant it, and who could blame him!

Two goals from two strikers, which could hardly be more different in set up.

Palace are at it again at Wembley, and their fans are loving it!

GOOOOAL! PALACE ARE LEVEL!

And just like that, its 1-1.

Ismalla Sarr goes down under a lazy challenge from Virgil van Dijk, and Jean-Philippe Mateta sends Alisson the wrong way with a perfect penalty

HUGE CHANCE!

Oh it really should be 2-0.

Liverpool break, and Mo Salah puts a ball into the box that Cody Gakpo can't turn home from less than five yards out.

Dean Henderson did well to get the ball away, and Wirtz's touch might have meant Gakpo was offside, but the Dutchman didn't know that.

Palace have responded well to that early setback, with Eberechi Eze unsurprisingly at the heart of anything good they do.

Wirtz to Ekitike.

It probably won't be the last time we see that combination this season from the two former Bundesliga stars.

£200m well spent?

GOOOOAL! EKITIKE OFF TO A FLIER!

Just four minutes into his Liverpool debut, and Hugo Ekitike has got his first goal.

It's a lovel goal too, as he receives the ball from Florian Wirtz, and curls it into the bottom corner from just inside the box.

Palace will be disappointed with how they defended, but what a start for the Frenchman.

KICK OFF!

And we're underway at Wembley.

A beautifully observed minute's silence for Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, followed by rapturous applauds from everywhere in the stadium.

Neither will ever be forgotten.

Here is the first of the Diogo Jota tributes of the day.

A lovely touch, and something that will likely continue for the full season at the very least.

There's a very happy reason for Ryan Gravenberch's absence from the Liverpool matchday squad.

This man has already, both for club and country.

The matchwinner in the FA Cup final, could he yet again be Palace's hero?

Will the newly crowned German Footballer of the Year light up the home of English football today?

It's been a far quieter summer for Palace so far, much to the annoyance of manager Oliver Glasner.

He names the same XI that famously beat Man City here back in May.

Odds on a repeat?

The teams are in, and here's how Arne Slot's new-look side shape up.

There's four debutants in British record transfer fee signing Florian Wirtz, full backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, and striker Hugo Ekiktike.

It's the traditional curtain raiser for the new season, but a day of remembrance of tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who tragically passed away in July.

We will keep you updated on what is sure to be a poignant and emotional afternoon for everyone connected with Liverpool football club.
