| (35 minutes later) | |
| Liverpool youngster Camacho wins a corner with a dangerous ball into the box, and Dortmund’s zonal marking scheme apparently has an open zone in the middle for van Dijk to score on such an uncontested header that he hardly celebrates. The adults scoring at will against the 13-year-olds in a coaching training session I attended this morning had a more difficult time. | |
| 22 min: Liverpool are getting a considerable amount of practice playing 10v11. Finally, the ball goes out of play, and Gomez trots into the fray. | |
| 20 min: Joe Gomez is set to come on for Liverpool to replace Matip. Hurry -- Dortmund have a promising spell here. | |
| 18 min: Matip is off the field and walking ... to the dressing room? That bodes ill, but precautionary moves are standard fare when the calendar says “July.” | |
| 16 min: From the inbox, Maria Giachali hails the “enormous mutual respect” between these two clubs. Also, someone tells me I apparently said “Here’s are starting line up.” Or was it in someone’s Tweet? | |
| The action has bogged down a bit. In this weather, we can’t expect full-throttle action for 90 minutes, even if most players will hit the showers at halftime. | |
| 13 min: Sort of a shot, but replay makes it look like a backpass from Van Dijk. Karius dives to collect it, which is frankly unnecessary. | |
| 11 min: A bit of pressure, and Dortmund win a corner. | |
| As expected, it’s a sizable if subdued crowd. It’s a preseason friendly, but it’s also a rare chance to see Liverpool and Dortmund in North Carolina. | |

| 9 min: Lallana finds creative space in the Dortmund box but can’t put anything on goal. | |
| Liverpool, incidentally, wearing some sort of purplish-bluish shirt. Perhaps their traditional red would be too easily confused with Dortmund’s yellow? | |
| 6 min: Andy Robertson on the attack, by which we mean he’s all the way to the end line and centering the ball. Can’t connect. But aside from the Karius misadventure, it’s a bright start for Liverpool. | |
| 4 min: Goalkeeping blunders at each end. Dortmund’s Marwin Hitz clears a ball that would hit the roof if the Carolina Panthers’ stadium had one. Then Liverpool’s Loris Karius comes way out and clears the ball -- straight to a Dortmund player who misses the open net from 45 yards out. Karius is already second or third or fourth on the depth chart. | |
| 3 min: You’ll Never Walk Alone has finished, and the crowd immediately goes silent. | |
| Markovic with the interception, but he runs into a yellow wall. | |
| Kickoff in a couple more minutes. | |
| For those who are not familiar with U.S. customs, we tend to start things five minutes after the top of the hour so TV networks can work in a few ads and some other stuff. | |

| The Bundesliga site has helpfully figured out the absentees as well as those present. You could make quite a team from the absentees (new Liverpool keeper Allison, Salah, Firmino, Henderson, Alexander-Arnold, Guerreiro, Kagawa, Bürki), but we have plenty of solid players in Charlotte as well. | The Bundesliga site has helpfully figured out the absentees as well as those present.

| These two clubs also had teams in the International Champions Cup “Futures” tournament, featuring Under-14 teams. Neither advanced to the final. That’ll be Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich, currently at halftime of a 60-minute game. Dortmund won its group but lost on kicks from the mark against Bayern, while Liverpool finished second in its group behind Seattle Sounders FC. | These two clubs also had teams in the International Champions Cup “Futures” tournament, featuring Under-14 teams.

| Good afternoon/evening all ... Continuing a proud tradition of European sides visiting the New World that dates back to the early 20th century and touring sides such as Corinthians and the Pilgrims, it’s Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, each featuring some regular players and some not-so-regular players in 87-degree weather (conversion to Celsius: pretty hot but could be worse).
