Jürgen Klopp’s team hit first and took their first Community Shield since 2006, having lost their last two finals to City and Arsenal in the penalty shoot-out. In full King Power Stadium, alternate stage of the final as Wembley was busy for the final of Sunday’s European Championship, the reds were better.
The match, which was presumed to be the staging of the two new strikers of Darwin Núñez from Liverpool and Haaland from Manchester City, ended up with the Uruguayan as the protagonist, author of the last goal of the game after having missed a couple of clear occasions throughout the game. A header of his was also the one that provoked the hand of Rúben Dias and meant the penalty of Salah, which put them ahead again.
The match started very well for both teams, with very early occasions. Salah had his first chance in the 3' and De Bruyne responded in the 7'. Both were canceled out of play. Shortly after, in the 21', Alexander Arnold found the goal thanks to a bad clearance of Aké to a powerful launch with thread. The Dutch defender cleared it badly, the ball hit the post and entered Ederson’s goal.
The meeting was decided by the VAR. Julián Álvarez’s City equalizer was annulled in principle by Foden’s out-of-play collegiate in the start of the play that ended up finishing the Argentine, who fell standing on his new team despite starting from the bench.
The VAR also had to act on Salah’s goal on penalty. Darwin finished with the head and Rúben Dias cleared clearly with the hand. Despite this, the collegiate left to follow the play until they warned him to review it. He scored a penalty and the Egyptian scored in 83'.
At the discount, Darwin Nunez found the prize to his insistence in the form of a goal. Salah focused, Luis Díaz turned his head and the Uruguayan beat Ederson. Liverpool hit first and took the first official title of the season in England.
