Wirtz Scores First Goal As Liverpool Wrap Up Asia Tour With 3-1 Win Over Yokohama FM
Alexis Mac Allister: Florian Wirtz opened his Liverpool account as the Reds concluded their pre-season tour of Asia with a 3-1 victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan on Wednesday.
Playing in front of over 67,000 fans at the Nissan Stadium, Liverpool fell behind early in the second half when Asahi Uenaka calmly finished a clever through-ball from Ren Kato. But Wirtz brought the Premier League champions level just after the hour mark, converting coolly after a sharp one-two between Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah.
The Germany international’s debut goal set the tone for an improved second half, as manager Arne Slot made sweeping changes to the lineup to build match fitness ahead of the new season. Hugo Ekitike, making his debut, started but was replaced at the break by Darwin Nunez in a planned change. Alexis Mac Allister came on in the second half for his first pre-season appearance.
