Liverpool beaten 4-2 by AC Milan in Hong Kong pre-season friendly
Find out what's new on ST website and app. HONG KONG - AC Milan beat Liverpool 4-2 in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Saturday as the Premier League club's record signing Florian Wirtz made his first start for them. Former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish laid a wreath before the game and the players had "Diogo J 20" on their shirts in honour of their former teammate Diogo Jota, who died along with his brother Andre Silva in a car accident in Spain this month. The English champions fell behind in the 10th minute when Rafael Leao scored from a Christian Pulisic pass. Dominik Szoboszlai levelled 20 minutes later with a curling shot from the edge of the box following an assist by Rio Ngumoha who latched onto a long ball from Ryan Gravenberch. Leao orchestrated a devastating counter-attack as Milan reclaimed the lead early in the second half. The Portuguese winger powered past Conor Bradley on the left flank and squared for Ruben Loftus-Cheek who fired home from inside the box. Noah Okafor added Milan's third in the 60th minute. Cody Gakpo nodded in a stoppage-time consolation for Liverpool before Okafor walked in his second following a bad mix-up between Kostas Tsimikas and new Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili who had rushed out of his box. Mamardashvili replaced Alisson Becker in the second half, while Milan's new defender Pervis Estupinan, who joined from Brighton & Hove Albion, also made his debut. Top stories Swipe. Select.

Patch, mosaic and more: Liverpool pay tribute to Jota in friendly
The friendly match between Liverpool and Milan held this Saturday (26th) provided another opportunity to pay tribute to Diogo Jota. The English club took to the field wearing a patch in honor of the Portuguese player who died earlier this month in a car accident. The match took place in Hong Kong and, shortly before kickoff, Liverpool fans created a mosaic displaying the Portuguese player's initials alongside the number he wore for the Anfield team. A club legend, Kenny Dalglish was present at the stadium and laid a wreath near the stands where the mosaic was displayed. Once the match began, Rafael Leão scored one of the goals and also paid tribute to his former Portuguese national teammate by showing the number 20 with his hands.
