It seemed like Liverpool needed a victory to boost their morale and get in the right mood for the start of the season. This victory came in a club-friendly match against the French club Lyon. The great friendly match at the Stade de Geneve, even though not spectacular, provided the fans with a very interesting game just before the start of the next season.  

Both teams gave a solid performance with Liverpool dominating the field which proved rewarding as they came out victorious over Lyon with a final score of 3-1. The first half time started great for the French team as Memphis Depay was awarded a penalty shot in the 4th minute of the match, which he managed to score.  

But tides soon started to change and Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino scored a goal in the 17th minute of the first half, making the score even. Just four minutes later, Joachim Andersen managed to give Liverpool the lead after scoring a goal in the 21st minute.

The first half time ended with Liverpool leading with 2-1. During the second halftime, Harry Wilson scored a goal in the 53rd minute, securing Liverpool’s victory.
