Football: Greuther Furth vs Liverpool

LIVE! Pre-season friendly result, match stream, and latest updates today

G reuther Furth held Liverpool to a thrilling 4-4 draw in a pre-season friendly which featured seven goals in the second half. The Reds concluded their pre-season training camp in Germany with the latter of two friendlies against second-tier opposition, but it was not like Wednesday’s 4-2 win over Karlsruher.

Darwin Nunez then scored twice for Liverpool, before Furth came back and edged 4-3 ahead with three goals in ten minutes — the first by Lukas Petkov and then a double from Armindo Sieb. Mohamed Salah was on hand to equalize at the death, earning Liverpool a draw — a fair result.

Hard to unpack that performance!

Difficult to know where to start with Liverpool there. They looked assured in the first half, but then conceded four in the second and were staring defeat in the face until Salah popped up with an 89th-minute equalizer. Jurgen Klopp will not be happy.

FULL-TIME

That’s it. Liverpool managed to get themselves back level two minutes before time, meaning they finish with a 4-4 draw against Greuther Furth. It was a shoddy second half from them, but valuable lessons will no doubt be learned after this.

88’ GOAL LIVERPOOL

Greuther Furth 4-4 Liverpool

The Reds get themselves back level to 4-4. Nunez breaks away down the left, is forced wide, but crosses for Salah to tap home.

78’ GOAL

Greuther Furth 4-3 Liverpool

Remarkable. Sieb has another, and Liverpool are 4-3 down. Another belter from the 20-year-old. Liverpool defending nonexistent.

74’ GOAL

Greuther Furth 3-3 Liverpool

Liverpool now pegged back to 3-3, and frankly, they deserve it. Armindo Sieb rifles into the top corner after a swift counter. What a goal.

67’ GOAL

Greuther Furth 2-3 Liverpool

It’s all been crazy in this second half, and Liverpool concede a really, really poor goal as Matip is caught on his toes and Lukas Petkov beats him to the ball to stab home. Good finish.

GOAL LIVERPOOL

Greuther Furth 1-3 Liverpool

It’s a bit of a free-for-all this second half, with Greuther playing a ridiculously high line. Salah plays Nunez in again, and the Uruguayan takes a defender out of the game by cutting onto his left foot, before calmly slotting away. 3-1.

50’ GOAL LIVERPOOL

Greuther Furth 1-2 Liverpool

Immediately, Liverpool put themselves back ahead when Mo Salah slides a lovely pass behind the defense and into the path of Darwin Nunez, who rounds the keeper and puts the ball away. What a response!
