"And here we go again! Arsenal and Liverpool return for the second half under the floodlights of SoFi Stadium, and if the first 45 minutes were anything to go by, we are in for a thrilling conclusion.
Arsenal lead 2-1, but Liverpool are far from beaten. You can feel the tension in the air, the anticipation in the stands—this is preseason, but it does not feel like it!"
Lee Dixon chimed in. "No, it doesn't, Peter. There's a real edge to this game. Arsenal, with Izan at the heart of it, have been the sharper side, but Liverpool have that never-say-die mentality.
You know they won't roll over. And you never know what will happen until the final whistle sounds."
The players walked to their positions under the gazes of the fans who had enjoyed every bit of the first 45 and were waiting for the second.
After making sure everything was set, the referee blew his whistle, and the ball was rolling again.
