In their debut appearance in the competition, the Eagles held their nerve in a tense penalty shootout, prevailing 3\u20132 after a 2\u20132 draw in regular time.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool made a dream start, striking inside just four minutes. A slick move involving Kerkez and Florian Wirtz ended with Hugo Ekitike firing a precise diagonal shot past Dean Henderson to make it 1\u20130. The champions thought they had doubled their lead 10 minutes later, but Ekitike\u2019s second goal was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n<p>Moments later Virgil van Dijk fouled Ismaila Sarr inside the box, gifting Palace a penalty that Jean-Philippe Mateta calmly converted to level the score. The parity didn\u2019t last long\u2014Jeremy Frimpong restored Liverpool\u2019s advantage in the 21st minute with a superb outside-foot finish after beating Tyrick Mitchell on the right wing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"qme\">\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/02FiOKvvIS\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/02FiOKvvIS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Liverpool FC (@LFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFC\/status\/1954550363278692631?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool pushed to extend their lead in the second half, with Ekitike missing a golden opportunity, but Palace grew in confidence as the match wore on.
