Let's face it. It wasn't as exciting as the cricket, was it?
But still, it was another good workout for Liverpool, who followed their 6-0 success at Tranmere Rovers with a 3-1 victory at Bradford City on Sunday to maintain their 100% winning start to pre-season.
James Milner - does this man ever age? - scored two goals in quick succession before Rhian Brewster took his tally in pre-season to three in 90 minutes of football with another clinical strike.
But more important than all of that was the fact that the money raised from the friendly, which was watched by Bradford's biggest crowd since Valley Parade reopened, will go to the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation .
The foundation was launched by former Liverpool and Bradford defender Stephen Darby following his MND diagnosis and subsequent retirement from football last September.
It is a subject touched upon by both our Liverpool FC reporter Ian Doyle and Reds manager Jurgen Klopp in their post-game verdicts, which make up this podcast.
We’ll start with Ian – and then we’ll hear from Jurgen, who also talks cover at left-back and Adam Lallana in a new position in his post-match press conference.
Enjoy.
