Dominik Szoboszlai has scored, keeping Liverpool alive in the contest. However, if Justin Devenny scores, Palace win. He does it!!! And Palace have won their first ever FA Community Shield. Devenny fired it into the left side of Alisson with the goalie having no chance. What a win this is for Crystal Palace!

Harvey Elliott has wasted the chance. And this means another goal will help Crystal Palace win the title. Oh no! Borna Sosa has missed it. We go into the final attempt now. If Liverpool miss it, Palace are the winners.

Three attempts from each side and Crystal Palace are still having a one goal advantage. On the third attempt, Ismaila Sarr scored the goal for them.

Henderson has made a sensational save here! But Alisson too made a good save to keep Liverpool fighting. This continues to be a tight game with Palace slightly ahead here.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored!!! He has comfortably beaten Alisson and Liverpool are under pressure now.

Would you believe it? Mohamed Salah has missed his shot. He managed to beat the Crystal Palace goalie but the ball went over the bar.

Eberechi Eze passed the ball to Devenny, who took a hit from the side but missed the far post. That was really close. But as it stands now, the referee has blown the final whistle and we will now go into the penalty shootout to decide a winner.

90 minutes of regulation time is done and 5 minutes of extra time has been added. In case, the scores are tied by the end of this match, there will be a penalty shootout to decide a winner.

Ismaila Sarr has scored the equaliser for Crystal Palace! Hughes managed to win his side the ball from Gakpo. Wharton then quickly passes it to Sarr. The latter ran in from the right flank and hit it past Alisson, who was rushing onto him. The ball hit the inside of near post and got into the net to see Crystal Palace equalise.

Florian Wirtz had a chance there but he has wasted it. He received the ball on the edge of the box, took and turn and then went for a shot. Wirtz could not get it well and the ball ended up going well over the bar.

Crystal Palace are attacking well in the second half. They first posed a threat through set pieces before putting up a terrific attack from the left flank seconds later. On the second attempt, Eberechi Eze took a shot into the post that was saved well by Liverpool goalie Alisson.

Another chance for Liverpool to score but Hugo Ekitike has missed it again. That is a second opportunity missed by the player in just 7 minutes into the second half. Some beautiful 1-2 passes from Liverpool across the left flank before Ekitike was served with a beautiful cross. Ekitike hit it on the first time but got it far off the near post.

Liverpool have started the second half with an attack and it was close inside the Crystal Palace box. Hugo Ekitike missed to cash in on the opportunity there. It was a cross from Milos Kerkez and Ekitike failed to get a good header.

It's half-time in the game and Liverpool are 2-1 up against Crystal Palace. The Reds had more ball possession in the first half of the game and they scored twice through Hugo Ekitike and Frimpong. In between the two goals, Crystal Palace too got one through the spot that was scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta.

It was a superb diagonal pass from Daniel Munoz. All it needed was just a touch from any of the other Crystal Palace players but the chance went begging. Sarr, who was running at the middle, came really close but failed to get a touch on it.

Ibrahima Konate has made a poor tackle on Jean-Philippe Mateta and the Liverpool player has thus received a yellow card from the referee. Mateta was looking for a Palace counter-attack with the ball and Konate's desperate bid to stop him has seen the French centre-back being served a yellow.

Not much of action has happened in the past 10 minutes or so. Liverpool are trying hard to get into the box of Crystal Palace but the latter side has kept it tight there. The Reds, however, would not mind the game getting slower. The 38th minute is running at the moment. We have somewhere around 10 minutes left for half-time.

Crystal Palace have made a substitution here. Kamada seemed to have developed some muscle injury so he was subbed off by Hughes in the 29th minute of the game.

A terrific piece of goal this is from Frimpong and Liverpool are once again in the lead. He was running with the ball from the right flank and chipped it beautifully over the goalie into the net. The Reds are back in command now. What a roller-coaster ride this is turning out to be!

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal Palace

It's all happening here at the Wembley stadium. Crystal Palace have made a sensational comeback through Jean-Philippe Mateta. He has scored from the spot. Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace in FA Community Shield 2025 match.

Penalty for Palace! Van Dijk has been penalised for a poor tackle on Sarr. He made the foul inside the box and the referee has awarded a penalty to Crystal Palace. A golden opportunity this is for the side to equalise in their bid for a maiden FA Community Shield.

It was some sensational football from Liverpool. Mohamed Salah ran with the ball from the left flank and passed it to Florian Wirtz. He then passed it to Cody Gakpo, who took a shot but that was defended well by Henderson. Referee soon blew the off-side whistle.

GOAL!!! Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool's $107 million buy has scored the opener inside four minutes. Liverpool go 1-0 up against Crystal Palace at FA Community Shield 2025 match. That was some good passing between Florian Wirtz and Ekitike before the latter beat the goalie on the left side of the post.

Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace

Liverpool has started the game with good control. They are looking to make an atyack from the left flank.

The players of Liverpool and Crystal Palace observed a minute's silence for Digo Jota, who lost his life recently in car crash. Crystal Palace then kicked off the match.

The anthems are done and the players are ready for the game now. Before it begins, have a quick look again at the line-ups -
