A header from Daniel Ayala was enough to get Liverpool Reserves off to a winning start in the RUHR.2010 Cup in Germany on Thursday night.
The defender nodded home a Gerardo Bruna free-kick on seven minutes to wrap up a 1-0 win over Schalke.
Several Academy youngsters including 17-year-old John Flanagan took part in the game, which was played out in two 30 minute periods.
Nicola Saric was forced off with a groin injury after 25 minutes, ruling him out of Friday night's clash with Bayern Munich. Alex Kacaniklic is expected to come in.
Manager John McMahon said: "It's a good start because we're one of the youngest teams here. A lot of the other teams are older.
"We'll have to make a couple of changes tonight, especially because of the heat out here."
The tournament is based in Dortmund.
