In which minute did Dominik Szoboszlai score Liverpool’s equalising penalty against Newcastle in the 2026–27 opener?

The story behind the answer

Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool’s equalising penalty in the 99th minute against Newcastle United.

The spot-kick completed a 2–2 draw at St James’ Park on 23 August 2026. Newcastle had led twice, first through Anthony Elanga and later through Joe Willock, while Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool’s other goal.

The penalty came after Victor Muñoz won a foul from Lewis Hall. Szoboszlai took responsibility and converted in the ninth minute of added time, which is recorded as the 99th minute in the match timeline.

This timing is often described more generally as “the ninth minute of stoppage time.” The two descriptions identify the same goal: the 99th-minute label is the precise minute notation used for the late equaliser.
