Liverpool\u2019s support in Hong Kong came out in force as almost 50,000 watched the Reds lose 4-2 against AC Milan<\/a> at the Kai Tak Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A brilliant curler from Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> and an accurate header from Gody Gakpo weren\u2019t enough to beat Milan, with Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s side conceding four on the break in their third pre-season friendly. <\/p>\n

Having beaten Preston at Deepdale and Stoke at the AXA Training Centre, Liverpool went into their third pre-season game without Hugo Ekitike<\/a>, Joe Gomez<\/a>, Luis Diaz<\/a>, Wataru Endo<\/a> and Darwin Nunez<\/a> for various reasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, starting his first match in front of fans was Florian Wirtz<\/a>, who looked right at home in a Liverpool red.<\/p>\n

Before the football got underway, there was a show of Hong Kong culture proceeded by supporters paying their respects to Diogo Jota<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the pitch, Liverpool looked generally assured in possession but conceded first, Rafael Leao blasting past Alisson<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Szoboszlai soon levelled, however, with an excellent curling finish from the edge of the box, bringing the scoreline back to 1-1, which is how it remained until half time.<\/p>\n
