Match Report

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of pre-season as Jurgen Klopp’s former club Borussia Dortmund came out on top on a sweltering night in Indiana.

Dodgy defending by Nathaniel Clyne helped create an early opener for the Germans and Paco Alcacer netted.

The Reds equalised before the break when Harry Wilson calmly slotted home after a great through pass from Fabinho.

But second-half strikes from Thomas Delaney and Jacob Bruun Larsen were enough for the Bundesliga side.

Rhian Brewster did pull one back from the penalty spot after Ben Woodburn was upended in the area by Mateu Morey.

Klopp made 10 changes on the hour mark at Notre Dame Stadium to give the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson their first taste of pre-season this summer.
