Team Szoboszlai vs Team Kerkez Football Challenges!
Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez lead two teams of tradespeople through a series of football challenges to win a trip to watch Liverpool's preseason tour in New York. The challenges include closest-to-pin golf, penalty shootouts, balloon-popping, knockout elimination, and a final skills competition, with Liam ultimately winning the grand prize.
Summary
Two Liverpool players, Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez, host a competition featuring various football-based challenges against a group of tradespeople. The first challenge is a closest-to-pin golf competition where Milos wins for team orange. In the second challenge, a penalty shootout elimination format, team orange dominates, eliminating most of team yellow's players. This victory allows Milos to select the first seven players for the expanded competition.
The third challenge involves teams attempting to pop three balloons by kicking a football at them. Team orange wins this round 2-1, forcing team yellow into a disadvantaged position where Dom must eliminate three of his seven remaining players, keeping only four.
In the knockout round, players must kick a ball at opponents to eliminate them without the opponent moving or lifting their feet. The round progresses with various eliminations until only four players remain: Billy, Liam, Kev, and one other.
The final round is a head-to-head skills competition featuring free kicks, one-on-one finishes from the left, finishes from the right, headers, and volleys. The scores remain tight throughout, ultimately forcing a penalty shootout between the top contenders. Liam emerges as the winner and secures the prize trip to watch Liverpool's preseason tour in New York, with an additional mysterious surprise promised by the host.
Key Insights

- During the knockout elimination round, Milos accidentally kicked out one of his own teammates, prompting him to say 'I can't believe I did that. I'm so stupid'
