On the evening of July 30, Liverpool defeated Yokohama Mariners 3-1 in a preseason friendly match held at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan. New player Wilz performed well, scoring his first goal after joining the franchise, becoming a key figure in the team's victory.

In this game, Liverpool coach Slot sent several main players including Van Dijk, Salah and Gravenberg. At the same time, three new players - goalkeeper Mamaldashvili, striker Hugo Ekitic, and the most popular Wiltz - also started.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, although Liverpool had the advantage in possession of the ball, there was a lack of effective organization on the offensive end and failed to pose a substantial threat to Yokohama Mariners' goal. Among them, new aid Ekitic has not yet fully integrated into the team system and has been repeatedly guarded by the opponent, and his performance is relatively quiet. The connection between Salah, Ekitic and Werz is also slightly unfamiliar, and the offense lacks fluency.

After the change of sides, Liverpool strengthened its offensive, but the home team was the first to score. In the 55th minute, Yokohama Mariner player Asahi Yui calmly shot from a small angle, helping the team lead 1-0.

The lagging Liverpool quickly launched a counterattack. In just 6 minutes from the 62nd minute to the 68th minute, the Reds scored two goals in a row to complete the reversal. In the 62nd minute, former Leverkusen core Wilz became the protagonist - he accurately grasped the offensive opportunity, inserted at high speed and calmly pushed the ball to score, scoring the goal, scoring his own goal representing Liverpool! The fans at the scene also gave warm applause to the German star.

After that, young player Leo Ngumoha won another goal and locked the score at 3-1, helping Liverpool complete the reversal.

After this game, Liverpool led by Slott will usher in the next game - on August 4, they will play against La Liga powerhouse Athletic Bilbao in a friendly match.
