Final, 2-2 (Liverpool wins Penalty-kick shootout 3-1): It’s over at Yankee Stadium. Liverpool wins the penalty-kick shootout after the teams played an entertaining 2-2 draw. The first half had the lions’ share of entertainment and quality, but the second half had the all-important goals. Henderson and Sturridge showed that they remain in good form with expert finishes inside the Manchester City area. This was no vintage performance from Liverpool. Manchester City controlled large parts of the game and finished two of the many scoring chances it created. While Liverpool demonstrated its attacking character and quality by scoring two goals from losing positions, it will be concerned about the way it defended for much of the game. Liverpool moves to the top of their International Champions Cup group by winning the penalty-kick shootout. The Reds now have five points after picking up two against Manchester City, which now has four points. If Liverpool defeats AC Milan on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C., it will advance to the tournament final, which will take place on Monday in Miami.
