In total, 69,879 supporters were inside the stadium, which is the home of the NFL team the Philadelphia Eagles and the Temple University football team the Temple Owls. Mohamed Salah, Fabio Carvalho and Kai Havertz were on the scoresheet with all three goals coming in the first half.
Opened in 2003 after being constructed at a cost of $512m (£402m/€475m), the official seating capacity of the venue is 67,594. However, this match saw a higher attendance figure. The record is 77,900, which was set by singer Ed Sheeran around 14 months ago.
Liverpool will face Manchester United next, with that game taking place at the Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. That stadium, which was opened in 1934, has a capacity of 77,559.
Liverpool.com says: Pre-season has gone well for Liverpool so far and there are still lots of big players still to return to the fold. Arne Slot's side looks good already but when you add in the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz, things will look even better. And then, of course, there is the possibility of transfer moves.
No players who have not joined up with the team yet will be back for the Manchester United game but Liverpool has a match with Sevilla at Anfield in just over a week. The Reds are also exploring the possibility of having a behind-closed-doors game with Spanish outfit Las Palmas in which, presumably, a lot of the senior stars who are still on holiday at the moment would return.
