Arsenal won the Community Shield trophy after penalties. The match between England champion Liverpool and FA Cup champion Arsenal ended 1: 1 in regulation time. No sequels are planned in this match.

Liverpool began to dominate from the first minutes of the game. The Merseysiders had the advantage in terms of ball control and tried to put pressure on the opponent with their usual pressure. In the seventh minute, Van Dyke sent the ball into the net. The Dutchman intercepted a cross from Milner’s foul, but the goal was disallowed by an ambush.
In their first opportunity, Arsenal opened the scoring. Bukaya Saka, who found Obameyang after a quick attack. He came out against young Nico Williams, who left him too much space. With a great shot, the forward sent the ball into Alison’s left corner for 1: 0.
The Gabonese international, for whom the Londoners are pushing to sign a new contract with the club, signs for the third consecutive game at Wembley and has already scored five goals at this stadium. Obamayang dedicated the goal to Chadwick Bozeman, who played the title role in The Black Panther. The actor passed away today at age 43.
Despite the apparent advantage of the Merseysiders, Arteta’s team allowed almost no positions in front of their door, and the gunners’ attacks were far more dangerous. Nketia was brought into shooting positions twice, but was unable to deliver a sufficiently accurate shot.
Liverpool did not have many ideas in mind. Several times Robertson broke free on the left and made good crosses, but they led nowhere.

Klopp’s team accelerated a bit after the break and had a bigger lead in the second half, but the positions created were not many. Firmino’s shot went through the door.
In the 56th minute Merseyside reached its best scoring situation. Manet reached for the ball off a long pass from Robertson. The Senegalese escaped from the Holding, but rival goalkeeper Martínez managed to save with his foot.
After an hour of play for Liverpool, Minamino and Keita appeared. It was the Japanese who tried to attack a little later, but the “gunners” guard was not difficult.
In the 73rd minute, however, a 1: 1 draw was reached. Minamino scored his first goal for the club. Mane sent the ball to Salah in the penalty area, it deflected from the Egyptian and fell very comfortably for the Japanese, who sent it close to the net. The situation was handled by the VAR for Salah’s hand, but the goal was scored.
In the end, Liverpool went back to look for more victory, but the Arsenal players did not stop attacking dangerously.
