Crystal Palace has secured the Community Shield in Wembley. The cup winner triumphed 5: 4 after penalty shootout against Master FC Liverpool in a highly exciting Supercup thriller.
Hugo Ekitiké put Liverpool in the lead in the 4th minute, Jean Philippe Mateta equalized in the 17th minute with a penalty. The 2-1 for the Reds by Jeremy Frimpong (21st) equalized Ismaila Sarr again in the 77th minute.
In the penalty shootout, Reds icon Mo Salah then failed with the first shot – which he chased far over the goal. Alexis Mac Allister also failed immediately after him failed, his well-placed shot parried Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson brilliantly. When Harvey Elliott also failed on Henderson, the outsider’s victory was perfect.
Wirtz directly with an assist
After just three minutes and 50 seconds, the duo had struck for the first time in a competitive game for Liverpool, which has what it takes to shape a new era on the ANFELD Road. Florian Witz, committed to around 150 million euros from Leverkusen, played a double double pass with Ekitiké, which had come from Eintracht Frankfurt for 95 million euros.
The second pass actually seemed sharply for the French, but he celebrated an outstanding ballan and withdrawal and fled the ball flat and exactly with the necessary hardness into the right corner.
Offensive orientation of reds coach slot
Reds coach Arne Slot had offered the full chapel in the Wembley Stadium in the London Wembley Stadium: In addition to Wirtz and Ekitiké, Liverpool-icon Mo Salah and the Dutch Cody Gakpo also stood in the starting eleven, and the ex-Leverkusen Frimpong and the former Leipzig Dominik Szoboszlai also ensured permanent storm and Urge.
Cup winner Crystal Palace With the former Wolfsburg and Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner, it was very trouble to get a foot in the door of this game, but after a quarter of an hour Virgil van Dijk, the head of the speech went too clumsy into a duel with Ismaila Sarr, hit him clearly on the ankle-the ex-Mainz Jean-Philippe Mateta was sure to convert the penalty.
Frimpong’s chip ball lowers into the goal
The game stayed at the top level, it went up and down, with the master of having the clearer train to the goal. A little coincidence also helped with the renewed lead goal. Frimpong was again too fast on the right for the Palaca coverage, his chip intended as a flank on the second post was lowered behind the visibly surprised Crystal keeper Dean Henderson.
It was only after a really wild half an hour a little quieter in Wembley. Crystal Palace continued to be lurked on the counterattack, as Szoboszlai and Wirtz also worked sharply backwards at the Reds, the outsider hardly came into the really dangerous zones.
Ekitiké narrowly missed twice
At the beginning of the second half, however, Ekitiké was on the spot again: a precise flank of the raised left -back Milos Kerkez nodded the Frenchman just past the left post. Even six minutes later, Ekitiké was free again, but after Pass from Wirtz he aimed again too imprecise.
But Crystal Palace also set needles. At first Sarr was blocked in a promising position, then Eberechi Eze failed with a placed low shot on the very well-reacting Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal.
Sarr creates the equalization
A quarter of an hour before the end, the Londoners rewarded themselves for their efforts. Sarr started depth after a gakpo ball loss, Van Dijk no longer came after Adam Wharton’s precise pass – and with excellent shooting technique, Sarr unsustainably compensated for Becker.
And Liverpool wobbled suddenly. Just a few seconds after the 2-2, Sarr was again in good final position, but Kerkez saved with an artistic tackle. Luck for the Reds: In the run-up to this scene, Alexis Mac Allister had got the ball on his hand, but after studying Var, there was no penalty for the unwillingness of Glasner. The Austrian went out of the saddle again in the 6th minute of stoppage time-Justin Devenny had only missed the 3-2 winning goal after a class end.
For Crystal Palace it continues in court
For Crystal Palace, Munich will be exciting again on Monday – but off the soccer field. Before the CAS, the verdict in the process of excluding the club from the Europa League is negotiated-because of the so-called “multi-ownership rule”, UEFA had sent the Glasner team to the Conference League.
