Arne Slot’s Liverpool came back to beat Yokohama F. Marinos 3-1, with all the scoring done after the break on Wednesday at Nissan Stadium in Japan.
The Reds continue to prepare for their Premier League title defense and showed off their depth with 21 players hitting the pitch including goal scorers Florian Wirtz, Trey Nyoni, and Rio Ngumoha.

Yokohama’s goal came from Asahi Uenaka. They have won the J-League twice in the last decade.
Wirtz started Liverpool’s scoring when he pounced on a loose ball near the penalty spot, then Nyoni buried service from Jeremie Frimpong before the soon-to-be 17-year-old Ngumoha capped off the goals with a long dribble and finish assisted by Andy Robertson.
Liverpool’s next game comes Monday at Anfield, when they’ll play a pair of contests against La Liga’s Athletic Bilbao.

Yokohama vs Liverpool preview
Liverpool are coming off a 4-2 loss to AC Milan in Hong Kong and are undergoing some tumult as Luis Diaz is reportedly heading to Bayern Munich for a medical, fueling talk that the Reds may be readying a new British record bid for Alexander Isak after breaking that record to sign Florian Wirtz earlier this window.
Yokohama have won the J-League twice in the last decade, including in 2019 under former Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou (in his second season with the club, of course).
They are managed by Hideo Oshima and led by former Brazil youth international Yan Matheus and Japanese winger Daiya Tono in attack.
Yokohama F. Marinos team news, focus
Shifty, diminutive winger Yan Matheus leads the team with five goals and three assists, while veteran goalkeeper Il-Kyu Park is well-regarded at the back.
Liverpool team news, focus
Slot used 21 players in the loss to Milan in Hong Kong, splitting time in goal between Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai scored vs Milan. Alexis Mac Allister will not be in the fold after suffering a hernia that will keep him out into August.
Yokohama vs Liverpool prediction
The Reds should be too much for their hosts. Yokohama 0-3 Liverpool.
