The latest match between Liverpool and Yokohama F. Marinos took place on July 30, 2025, at the Yokohama International Stadium as part of Liverpool’s pre-season tour[2]. The game, which kicked off at 11:30am BST, saw Liverpool give a debut to new signing Hugo Ekitike, who nearly scored his first goal for the club with a clever flick that almost beat Yokohama’s keeper[1]. Mohamed Salah was prominent in Liverpool’s attack, delivering several dangerous balls behind the defense; one led to a big chance for Dominik Szoboszlai, which went begging as the pitch conditions played a part in the missed opportunity[1].
Despite Liverpool’s attacking momentum, including another key chance where Cody Gakpo was played in by Salah but finished weakly, the first half ended goalless with notable defensive interventions from both sides and the score remaining 0-0 through the 36th minute[1]. For Yokohama, the attack was highlighted by attempts to counter, notably when Araujo brought the ball into Liverpool’s half before being dispossessed by Liverpool’s defense[1]. The squad lists and substitutions reflected the friendly nature of the match, allowing both managers to rotate heavily[3].
