Liverpool maintained their perfect start under new head coach Andoni Iraola with a 1-0 victory over Wrexham in a pre-season friendly in New York. The only goal of the match came from Rio Ngumoha, who scored the decisive strike in the second pre-season contest ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. After the match, Ngumoha revealed that Iraola has demanded two key principles from the squad: pressing high and being unpredictable. The win continues Liverpool's winning start under Iraola, who took over as head coach this summer. The match was part of the club's pre-season tour, with the team building fitness and cohesion ahead of the upcoming season. Wrexham, who are preparing for their own campaign, pushed Liverpool but could not find an equalizer. Liverpool's performance showed early signs of Iraola's tactical approach, with high pressing and fluid attacking movements. The result keeps Liverpool unbeaten in pre-season, as they look to build momentum for the new campaign.
