Liverpool vs Como 1907

Liverpool and Como played out a goalless draw in the opener of their pre-season double-header, a tight, low-scoring affair short on real chances. The best of them fell to Federico Chiesa, sent clean through by a clever Alexis Mac Allister pass, only to be flagged offside. There were no goals, cards, or penalties to speak of in the shortened 35-minute-half format. Víctor Muñoz was the standout, full of energy on the wing in his first start for the club, while Mac Allister ran the midfield with his usual composure. For Liverpool, the clean sheet is a welcome sight after back-to-back pre-season losses, and fringe players like Muñoz gave the coaching staff plenty to like ahead of the new season. Como, still smarting from a shootout defeat following their draw with Arsenal, will also see plenty of positives in another solid defensive outing as both clubs continue building form before competitive fixtures return.
