Liverpool’s victory at Levi’s among Saturday’s soccer highlights

Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino scored and Liverpool beat AC Milan 2-0 in an International Champions Cup exhibition game Saturday night at Levi’s Stadium.

Origi opened the scoring in the 59th minute off an assist from Alberto Moreno.

Origi broke Liverpool’s scoreless streak of 104 minutes to start the tournament.

The tournament, which continues until Aug. 13, features 17 teams playing on four continents; 10 in the United States and Europe, three in China and four in Australia.
