加拿大当地时间21日16:00，2012/13赛季利物浦季前第一场热身赛在罗杰斯中心球场展开争夺，利物浦客场面对多伦多队。

Because the European Cup is in progress at this time, many of Liverpool's main players cannot participate in the team's pre-season warm-up match.

Liverpool's biggest star, Steven Gerrard, did not come to North America with the team, and the main players who came with Liverpool were only Keylor Navas, Skrtel, Skrtel, Danny Rose, and De Bruyne.

Hey, if you take a closer look, it seems that there are not many.

The time is now July 7st, the group stage of the European Cup has just ended, and the England team is still qualifying as the first in the group and entering the knockout round.

So those players who participated in the European Cup will definitely not be able to come.

One minute later, Suso's shot also missed.

In the 65th minute, Flanagan passed the ball, and Suso's shot from the right side of the penalty area was rescued.

Liverpool equalized in the 70th minute. Sterling made a cross from the left side of the penalty area after breaking through the two. Morgan scored an empty goal from close range, one to one.

In the 74th minute, Lucas, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his knee last December, came off the bench.

In the 81st minute, Widman received a direct pass from his teammate 10 yards from the left side of the penalty area and shot directly into Gulac's arms.

After 1 minute, Vidiman returned a pass, and Stimson shot high in front of the restricted area.

In the 88th minute, Robinson broke through from the left and caused a yellow card for a foul, but the free kick opportunity failed to pose a threat.
