Liverpool Secures 2-0 Victory Over Como in Friendly Match

Liverpool achieved a 2-0 lead against Como during a friendly match at Anfield on Sunday. Cody Gakpo scored his first goal of the pre-season in the 23rd minute, finishing from a cross by Jeremie Frimpong.

Jeremy Jacquet, making his debut, extended the lead just before half-time by tapping in Gakpo's cross. The performance marked a positive step for new head coach Andoni Iraola, who is looking for his first win at Anfield after a previous loss to Monaco.

Gakpo's goal ensured a different outcome compared to an earlier 0-0 draw between the teams at Liverpool's training ground. Liverpool's competitive season is set to begin against Newcastle on August 23, while Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, will face Udinese in Serie A the day before.
