No changes from either team as Osasuna get us away in the second half. 

Target achieved for Osasuna as they have been able to head into the tunnel without conceding a goal. 

They defended deep and worked hard to frustrate the Los Blancos. 

Mbappe had a few chances, Vinicius too, Huijsen took a few shots, while Militao also was on target once. But, still, they have not been able to break the shackles. 

Real Madrid 0-0 Osasuna at halftime.

Bretones makes a good block as Mbappe's spectacular acrobatic attempt from close range was negotiated well. 

Boyomo had pushed down Vinicius inside the box as he went for the ball. 

But the push was not that hard to call as a penalty. 

Huijsen takes another chance as there were no Real Madrid players inside the box.

He took the chance but was not on target. 

For the first time in the match, Osasuna had the chance to go for the goal. 

Militao's clearance was not good, and it fell right for Budimir to go for the goal. 

However, from the edge of the box, a bit left, he missed the target. 

Vinicius has now taken Mbappe's spot and went for a shot from left, towards the far post. 

He missed the shot completely.

From the right of the box, Mbappe targeted the far post with a curling effort. However, the ball did not curl enough to get into the goal. 

A warm welcome for Jude Bellingham, who is in attendance tonight. He will miss the first few weeks due to the shoulder injury.

He will have to keep making these saves. 

Real Madrid are now looking to shoot from outside the box. 

Eder Militao, from 30 meters, went for a long shot. It bounced and was swinging as well. A good dive and save from Herrera 

Vini's cutback from the byline found Mbappe. However, his turning left-footed attempt was not good enough to beat Herrera. 

It was not a good save, but it was safe. 

Real Madrid have looked to try a few different things with Huijsen coming a bit forward, Mbappe switching to the left and other things. 

But, Osasuna have been solid, brave and aggressive in defence. 

Huijsen's right-footed volley from outside the box has been dealt well by Herrera. 

The ball was going away from him and had bounced in front of him. But a well strechted dive helped him to make the save.

A perfectly timed challenge from Boyomo as he won the ball from Kylian Mbappe, who has swiftly changed the side and then tried to make a way through the defenders.

Not sure yet, but surely it is all defensive from the Osasuna team. They are looking to frustrate the Los Blancos and go goalless in the first 20 minutes.

Enough of waiting for Carreras. He goes for the goal from the left of the box with a left-footed shot. He missed the far post by a meter. 

It is not three, but five people in defence for Osasuna. Madrid are keeping the ball and waiting for a mistake from the opponent. 

Osasuna have looked to defend from the start. Although they have a high line, they have been able to stop Vinicius from making a move on the left. The have kept the back-four intact quite well.

Here we go!

 Tavernier found a juicy ball inside the box following a cut-back from the right. He hit the ball straight to Alisson. He should be disappointed with that. 

Mac Allister made a good run into the box. However, the Argentine's side-footed pass for Firmpong could not find the winger as he ran ahead of the ball. 

Finally, the corner was take,n and it was Virgil van Dijk, who jumped in the air to get a head to it. However, it went straight to Petrovic. 

We have a break at the moment, with the referee having a word with the match officials and players. 

Ekitike had the chance to riddle the ball into the goal from an airy ball outside the box by Writz. But Diakite was there to deflect it for a corner to Liverpool FC.

Although Liverpool are enjoying more possession, the visitors have won the physical battle so far, with more bodies, winning tackles and one-on-one situations.

Semenyo, this time, manhandled Writz to win the ball back for Bournemouth. 

In the 20th minute of the match, fans show Diogo Jota's jersey and clap his name to give him a resounding tribute. 

After the first mistake, Konate now fails to clear the ball away and hands it to opponents. However, Evanilson, who has handed the ball over by Konate, was found offside.

Yellow card for David Brooks.

Salah was looking for Writz with a threading pass inside the box. However, Smith guessed the movement right and deflected the ball for a corner. 

A poor backpass from Ibrahima Konate allows Bournemouth to have a corner kick. The defender apologises for the mistake

Truffert's cross from the left found Semenyo inside the box. However, the striker could not control the finish and missed the target with a sliding effort. 

Van Dijk missed the target with a header. Back-to-back chances for Liverpool. Write with the delivery. 

Petrovic makes the first save of the season as Salah was on target with a left-footed attempt from the edge of the box. 

Here we go. The 2025/26 season starts!

Another debutant 🙌

• Salah misses - He skies this one - CRY 0-0 LIV

• Mac Allister - Henderson makes the save, left low corner of the goal. He takes off his cap to celebrate. CRY 1-0 LIV
• Eze - Save from Alisson. Eze took too long, and Alisson dived to his right to make the save. CRY 1-0 LIV
• Gakpo - scores. Nicely done, into the far corner. CRY 1-1 LIV
• Sarr - scores. Cool as ice. Goes left of the goalkeeper and beats him. CRY 2-1 LIV

• Devenny - scores. Powerful shot to beat Alisson. CRY 3-2 LIV

We are heading to the penalties now. No extra time for this match, and the penalties will decide the winner. 

That could have been the end of the game.

Henderson did well there to come out quickly and reach before the pass reached Salah.

In: Justin Devenny

Out: Guehi

Szoboszlai's shot did not have the power to beat Henderson here. 

5 minutes added to the final time. Nearly 83000 people watched this game from the field. 

Long ball from across the field. But Eze could not get a foot in that. A huge chance gone begging. 

Yellow card for Salah for fouling Eze. Tactical foul from the Liverpool legend.

In: Jefferson Lerma

Out: Adam Wharton

Out: Writz, Kerkez

In: Harvey Elliot, Robertson

Good delivery from the left by Writz, but Salah could not find the back of the net with a side-footed shot.

Salah would be unhappy with the finish. It went straight to Henderson.

In: Borna Sosa

Out: Tyrick Mitchell

Kerkez blocks a left-footed shot from Sarr, from close range. 

Sarr scores the important goal for Palace. 

Hughes won the ball back from Gakpo, and the right pass from Adam Wharton found Sarr nearly one-on-one. 

After a good first touch, he dunked the ball over Alisson for the goal.

Frimpong is down after colliding with his teammate Endo. 

Out: Jones, Ekitike

In: Mac Allister, Wataru Endo

We have a cooling break and looks like we will have changes as well.

On a day he has not placed a single foot wrong, Writz, in the middle of the box, after receiving a juicy pass, mistimed the finish. 

Eze's left-footed low shot from close range was saved by the Liverpool goalkeeper. 

Szoboszlai let the ball go away, and Palace had the chance to counterattack and score. 

Ohh, from the second corner, Richards had all the chance to head the ball inside the goal. 

He had the time and space. But his timid header went straight to Alisson, who did not make any error. 

Palace earn two consecutive corners. Good spell of play for them. 

Guéhi's cross was backheaded by Mateta, and it went towards Sarr at the right of the box. 

Sarr was found offside after going for the header. 

It is Writz again who is causing all the problems.

Ekitike found his pass again but decided to give it to Salah. 

Salah's cross was then blocked by Guéhi.

Writz drills another cross from the left. Ekitike needs to do better with that.

It was accurate from Writz, but he could not keep that side booted shot down. 

Munez is injured after colliding with the referee. 

Big chance for Liverpool. But Ekitike heads wide from Kerkez's cross

No changes from either team as we start the second half.

The referee blows his whistle, and this is the half-time at Wembley. 

Liverpool will be happier with the result so far. But they know that the one-goal deficit is never safe. 

Good control from Writz on the left, and he then lofted the ball for Frimpong to go for the goal with a volley.

However, he skied the ball up after mishitting it. 

Brilliant cross from Munoz from the right. But, Konate had Sarr covered, who could not get a touch to that top-class cross. 

Oliver Glasner is disappointed, though. 

Yellow card for another Liverpool player. This time it is Florian Writz, who gets the caution. 

7 minutes have been added to the first half. 

Eiktike wanted to run away with the ball on the left. But, Richards kept chasing him and stayed with him before winning the physical battle. He won the ball back for Palace. 

Konate receives the first caution of the match as he tackled Mateta from behind in the middle of the pitch. 

In Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, this is the first time two players have scored on their #LFC debut in the same game since August 2006 - Craig Bellamy and Mark González v Maccabi Haifa.

The Dutch star first made a good run to stop a possible goal-worthy pass from Sarr, at the edge of the box. 

Then, he quickly shifted the pace, found Writz on the flank, who found Ekitike on the left. 

Gakpo then made another run to find the pass from Ekitike, but his pass to Salah was not recieved well by the Egyptian.

Unfortunately, Kamada can not continue anymore, and he will be substituted by Will Hughes. 

Kamada is down with a leg injury while Konate needs medical attention for something happened to his eye. 

Frimpong is lucky here, or he is a genius. 

Szoboszlai changed the game from left to right and found Frimpong on the right. 

His attempted cross luckily went inside the goal after Henderson failed to expect the shot. 

Liverpool take the lead. 

Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool.

Mateta scores from the spot. He sent Alisson on the other side, and he hit the back of the net.

All square at Wembley. 

Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool FC

Penalty for Palace. 

 Ismaïla Sarr is pushed down inside the box by Virgil Van Dijk and Palace win the penalty.

Crazy touch from Ekitike to find Writz. Salah, on the move, found the pass on the right.

However, Salah's cross found Gakpo on the left. Although Henderson made he save, the Dutch striker was offside. 

Eze's attempt is deflected away for a corner by Konate. A good few minutes for the FA cup winners. 

For the first time in ten minutes, Palace have been able to create an attack. 

Kamada, on the left, kept going inside and before he could send a cross from the byline, Frimpong deflected the ball for a corner.

Hugo Ekitike scored for Liverpool in his debut match within 4 minutes.

Writz found the ball from Gakpo, and the new signing then found Ekitike with a smooth pass at the edge of the box. 

Ekitike made a quick turn and then went inside before going for the goal with a right-footed curling shot.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool.

As per a few rumours. Alexander Isak was not allowed to visit the ground to watch Liverpool play. Newcastle will fine him, if he comes. 

Liverpool get us underway at Wembley Stadium. Liverpool are in their away kit while Palace are in their home kit of blue and purple.

A minute of silence has been observed for the late Diogo Jota and his brother, who lost their lives in an accident. 

We are done with the anthem. The handshakes are going on. Let's get ready!
