Liverpool won 1-0 against Wrexham in a pre-season friendly at Yankee Stadium in New York, with substitute Rio Ngumoha's deflected effort proving decisive. It marked a second consecutive victory for head coach Andoni Iraola on his first pre-season tour in charge, though the match itself offered few clear-cut chances for either side.

Ngumoha's shot, taken in the 75th minute, looped in off Wrexham defender Lewis Brunt to settle the contest in front of a 42,204 crowd, which included Wrexham's Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Liverpool's build-up to the game was disrupted by a cancelled flight from Chicago and poor weather, delaying the squad's arrival, while key players Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch were rested. With Joe Gomez injured and Federico Chiesa ill, Iraola fielded a youthful, experimental line-up featuring six players with no Premier League experience, including highly rated teenage winger Joshua Abe, who came close to scoring on his first senior start.
