The Arne Slot era at Liverpool began with a narrow pre-season win over Real Betis in Pittsburgh on Friday night.
Top scorers: Szoboszlai 34′
The Premier League giants departed with a healthy mix of superstar first-team players and youngsters in the starting line-up, just like their LaLiga opponents on the night.
Although Liverpool dominated the ball in the first half hour, they did little to threaten former team-mate Adrián in the Betis goal until Dominik Szoboszlai collected a deft pass from Mo Salah before curling his shot into the bottom corner.
The ball appeared to be stuck in midfield for most of the second half as the pace dropped while both coaches made a series of changes.
Both teams continue to prepare for the new season in the coming days, with Liverpool taking on Premier League rivals Arsenal while Betis face Manchester United.
