Community Shield: Salah lost points, Liverpool lost its first season game, Crystal Palace won the first historical championship

In the England Community Shield Cup held at Wembley Stadium, although Liverpool led twice, they were both stubbornly equalized by Crystal Palace, and eventually lost in the penalty shootout and unfortunately missed the championship. The "Blue Eagle" Crystal Palace has historically won the trophy for the first time, creating club history. Before the game, all data were not conducive to Crystal Palace. They have lost 12 of their last 16 matches with Liverpool and have won only 1 time. In addition, historical data shows that the previous four teams participating in Community Shield for the first time failed to win the championship.

However, this game became a classic counterattack drama. Although Liverpool showed a strong offensive with new players introduced by hundreds of millions of euros this summer and took the lead twice, personal mistakes on the defensive end cost them a heavy price.

In the end, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson transformed into a hero. He saved two penalty kicks in the penalty shootout, becoming the team's biggest contributor to the championship.

New players shined in the first half, Liverpool led twice at the beginning of the game, and Liverpool's new players quickly entered the state. The team broke the deadlock just 4 minutes into the opening game. Hugo Ekitic, a new forward player worth 80 million euros, received a wonderful pass from his teammate and calmly pushed the ball to the far corner, breaking through the goal guarded by Henderson. The one who assisted Ekitic was Florian Werz, who joined this summer with a record of transfer fees for Premier League history. After conceding the goal, Crystal Palace counterattacked and seized the opportunity to equalize the score in the 16th minute. Liverpool captain Van Dijk made a foul in the penalty area and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Jean-Philippe Mattha took the penalty and calmly pushed the ball to tie the score to 1-1.

But the joy of "Blue Eagle" did not last long. Just 4 minutes later, Liverpool surpassed the score again. Jeremy Frimpon made a breakthrough from the side and shot hard at a small angle. The ball was straight at the far corner of the goal, which was beyond the reach of Henderson.

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool's new players' performance was eye-catching, and the team also entered the midfield with a goal advantage.

The situation suddenly changed in the second half, and Crystal Palace stubbornly equalized

and changed sides again, and Liverpool still took the initiative on the field. Ekitic had two good opportunities to score, but failed to seize them and missed the opportunity to score twice. Crystal Palace mainly relies on high altitude balls to create threats, and Chris Richards and Eze's offenses in the 60th and 63rd minutes were both resolved by Alisson.

However, in the 77th minute of the game, Liverpool midfielder Cody Garkepo conceded the ball in the backcourt. Saar seized the opportunity to go to the meeting alone, calmly pushed the ball to score, helping Crystal Palace tie the score again!

Then the game entered a white-hot stage. In the 79th minute, VAR intervened in the penalty, and Liverpool midfielder McAllister handballed in the penalty area, but after watching the replay, referee Chris Cavana decided that he did not intentionally handball and refused to award a penalty. This decision also caused great controversy. After 90 minutes of regular time, the two sides shook hands 2-2 and made peace, and the game entered a penalty shootout. The penalty shootout was thrilling, and Henderson's penalty shootout was ups and downs. In Liverpool, Salah and McAllister lost their free throws one after another. Fortunately, goalkeeper Alisson saved the opponent's shot in the second round, retaining hope for the team.

However, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson performed even more courageously. He saved another penalty from Harvey Elliott in the fourth round, almost securing the victory for the team. But then, Borna Sousa's shot hit the crossbar and Crystal Palace still failed to finish the game.

In the decisive round, Justin Devinny calmly pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, and the ball entered the net! 3-2, Crystal Palace won the penalty shootout!

With Devinny's goal, the whole game was in full swing. Crystal Palace players celebrated wildly, and they finally won the first England Community Shield Championship in the club's history!
