Liverpool beat Real Betis 1-0 in Arne Slot's first competitive friendly as manager on Friday as Dominik Szoboszlai's first-half goal ensured the club's pre-season tour of the United States began with a victory.
The Hungarian international exchanged a stylish one-two with Mohamed Salah in the 34th minute before curling a shot in off the far post.
Slot took advantage of the game in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to see as many of his traveling team as possible, with 23 players taking the field at Acrisure Stadium.
Trey Nyoni came on as a first-half substitute for Curtis Jones after the England midfielder suffered a knock in what was the only concern of the game for the new head coach.
Nyoni, 17, impressed with his appearance, playing a role in setting up the decisive goal, while Ben Doak and Connor Bradley also shone.
Liverpool face Arsenal in Philadelphia on Wednesday before concluding their US tour against Manchester United in South Carolina on Saturday.
