Manchester City won the inaugural title this season after the 2019 Premier League Community Shield pre-season beat their rivals Liverpool on penalties, at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (4/8) night WIB. This victory led Manchester City to retain the title won last season. In a tight match, The Cityzens took the lead through a goal scored by Raheem Sterling in the 12th minute of the first half. Liverpool managed to equalize the score through a Joel Matip header on 77 minutes.

The severity of the match made the lead referee forced to issue his first yellow card in the 33rd minute to Manchester City player Kevin de Bruyne, who deliberately dropped Liverpool's Divock Origi.

But until the second round match ended Manchester City and Liverpool failed to score additional goals so the match had to continue to the penalty shootout round. In the penalty shootout, only Georginio Wijnaldum from Liverpool failed to carry out their duties. While the nine other executors successfully netted the opponent's goal.
