Dominik Szoboszlai played a full part in Liverpool's final pre-season friendly, which ended in a victory for the English club. The Hungarian midfielder, along with his teammate Kerkez, completed the entire match, demonstrating their fitness ahead of the upcoming season.

During the game, Szoboszlai was involved in an incident where he was briefly on the ground following a challenge from Brazilian player Yan Couto. The tackle resulted in a yellow card for Couto, but Szoboszlai was able to continue playing without significant issue.

Liverpool maintained a 2-0 lead in the second half, though the tempo of the match was noticeably lower than a competitive fixture, and no further goals were scored by either side. The team's next engagement is the start of the competitive season.

Liverpool will commence their official matches on August 23, facing Newcastle United at home in the first round of the Premier League. This match will mark the official debut for manager Iraola.
