Leeds United defeated Liverpool in a pre-season friendly match held at Soldier Field in Chicago. The game saw Liverpool initially perform well, with the team appearing to benefit from the contributions of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak during the first 45 minutes. However, the momentum shifted significantly after the halftime interval.

Following the substitution of several key players, Liverpool struggled to maintain their lead. Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, capitalized on this defensive vulnerability to stage a comeback. Over the course of a 25-minute period, Leeds scored four goals to secure the win. Dominic Calvert-Lewin contributed two goals, while Brenden Aaronson and Sean Longstaff added one each to the tally.

This result marks the first defeat for Liverpool’s new head coach, Andoni Iraola, during the team's current United States pre-season tour. While the match served as a testing ground for tactical adjustments, the second-half performance highlighted defensive concerns for Liverpool that the coaching staff will likely need to address before the start of the competitive season.
