Match Report

Bayern Munich twice came from behind to take victory in a thrilling seven-goal encounter with Liverpool in Singapore.

Youngster Frans Kratzig was the hero after the 20-year-old scored a thunderous stoppage time winner past Alisson, giving Jurgen Klopp's side their first defeat of pre-season.

It's a result that will leave as many questions as answers for the Reds who were brilliant in attack, but looked very vulnerable at the back.

It was Liverpool who took the lead after Cody Gakpo scored within two minutes after he broke free inside the Reds' own half, played a one-two with Diogo Jota before slotting home.

Virgil van DIjk, in his first appearance since he was officially named as Jordan Henderson's successor as captain, then headed home to put Liverpool in what appeared to be a comfortable position.

That lasted just five minutes though as Serge Gnabry - who had an excellent first-half - burst through after a defence-splitting ball by summer signing Kim Min-jae and got one back.

Then after some shoddy Liverpool defending, Gnabry rolled the ball across the box for Leroy Sane to equalise.

Liverpool's woes increased just as the half-time whistle went as Mac Allister went down holding onto his knee and was replaced for the start of the second-half.
