Five minutes left. Jurgen Klopp will be satisfied with this performance. A first goal to remember for Dominic Solanke, while Frank de Boer will have learned a lot about his new side. Palace have given the Reds a decent test in Hong Kong.

Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace
The attendance in Hong Kong is 39,273. Judging by the way each goal has been greeted, I'm guessing 39,000 are Liverpool fans.
GOAL
Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace
Divock Origi doubles Liverpool's lead from close range in the 80th minute. James Milner does all the hard work before delivering the ball into the Palace area, Philippe Coutinho takes a wild swing and the ball falls into the path of Origi to tuck home.

Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace
Marko Grujic lets fly from 30-yards...just wide. That was very close to being very special.
There's about 15 minutes left in Hong Kong. As it stands, Liverpool will meet Leicester in Saturday's final of the Premier League Asia Trophy.
Yellow card
Liverpool 1-0 Crystal Palace
Terrible challenge by Marko Grujic. The Liverpool substitute hacks down Wilfried Zaha in full flight. That would have been a red card in a competitive match. Instead Grujic escapes with a yellow.

Liverpool have the breakthrough thanks to a screamer by new signing Dominic Solanke.
What a moment for the 19-year-old. The former Chelsea player's first Liverpool goals is a clever finish from the edge of the box after a flick by Divock Origi.

'Biggest game of our lives'
BBC SportCopyright: BBC Sport
Less than six hours until kick-off as Scotland face England in their first major tournament game at Euro 2017 and the Tartan Army are arriving in Utrecht in increasing numbers, dressed pretty in pink and wearing kilts.
England manager Mark Sampson caused some amusement in the press conference yesterday when it was suggested he'd given his team a Scottish history lesson, which included the film Braveheart.
When this was put to Scotland captain Gemma Fay, she replied: "We don't need a history lesson, we're born into the rivalry."
There will be little animosity, but Fay admits that for many of the Scottish players, it will be the biggest game of their careers.
More penalties?

Two games, two shootouts.
Meanwhile, it's still goalless after 54 minutes in Hong Kong.

Late, late, late, late Arsenal equaliser in Shanghai.
Alex Iwobi, who is completely unmarked, gets on the end of Aaron Ramsey's cross to nod his side level after they had trailed for so long.
And that's the end. It's all over.

A yellow card in a friendly as Palace's Scott Dann wrestles Mohamed Salah off the ball as the new Liverpool signing looked set to burst through on goal.
Benteke close
Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace
Corner to Palace. It's whipped in and up goes Christian Benteke and Simon Mignolet. The Liverpool keeper just about does enough to steer it off the head of the former Reds striker. That would have been 1-0 but for Mignolet.
