• Liverpool defeated Yokohama with a score of 3-1 in a friendly match.
• The young talents Ngunhoha and Nyoni scored their first goals for the club.
• The Liverpool defense demonstrated problems that need to be addressed.

On July 30, 2025, Liverpool completed their preseason tour of Asia with a victory over Yokohama F. Marinos with a score of 3-1 at the Nissan Stadium. After the loss to AC Milan in Hong Kong, the team delivered a complete performance, securing an important win.

The game was activated when the new record signing Florian Virts scored his first goal for the club, leveling the score after Asahi Uenaka opened the scoring for Yokohama. After this, Liverpool's Treye Nyoni and Rio Ngunhoha showcased their performances to the spectators. Nyoni, 18 years old, scored his second goal, while Ngunhoha, 16 years old, finished the game with a fantastic individual goal.

This victory was a response to the disappointment in the previous match. Coach Arne Slot expressed satisfaction with the performance of the young talents and noted that their contribution adds energy to the team. Ngunhoha, who became the youngest player to start in the team, demonstrated impressive speed and technique.

Liverpool also showed some problems in defense. Yokohama managed to open the scoring at the beginning of the second half, which forced coach Slot to think about improving the play in defense. However, thanks to the activity of the young players, the team managed to turn the game around.

The end of the match was a special moment for the Japanese team Vataru Endo, who received recognition from the spectators at his home stadium.
