Youth Team/Cup

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Ref is poor, could have been 4-2 to us at ht.

[Allan]

Half time - Red Star 0 Liverpool 0

 

Really don't know how this is 0-0. Both sides have created chances. We've seen far more of the ball and were well on top for the first 30 minutes or so, then Red Star had a 10 minute spell where they really should have taken the lead, and they would have done but for Jaros making 2 top saves.

Red Star get the ball in the net, but it’s clearly offside.

1-0

 

Curtis Jones forces in a rebound after the keeper parries a header from Camacho.

Red Star 0 Liverpool 1 

 

Curtis Jones turns home after Camacho's header is only parried by the home keeper.

Lewis 2-0 perfect free kick from 25 yards out.

[Allan]

Red Star 0 Liverpool 2

 

Adam Lewis drives home an exquisite free kick. There was a bit of a squabble between Camacho and Lewis about who was taking it. Safe to say they made the right choice in the end...

[alles ist gut]

Lewis probably doesn’t get to take it if he’s not got the armband on...

[Pidge]

Wilson-esque

Adekanye misses a sitter, but it apparently was offside anyway.

Glatzel and Dixon-Bonner subbed on for Cain and Duncan.

[Allan]

Dixon-Bonner on for Cain.

Glatzel on for Duncan.

[Allan]

Adam Lewis showing the other side of his game moments ago turning his back on a cross that struck his arm, Red Star really should have been awarded a penalty for handball.

[Allan]

Hoever on for Adekanye.

Larouci on for Camacho.

[alles ist gut]

Odd change of shape with those subs.

Another offside flag denies Red Star in a crowded area.

Full time 2-0.

 

Scruffy game that we should have had won before they had a shot on target in the first half hour.

Anyway, qualification for the knockout stages is now assured, and a draw against PSG in the next match will be enough to win the group.

[Allan]

Full time - Red Star 0 Liverpool 2

 

A deserved 3 points. Jaros made a couple of big saves at the back end of the first half. We eventually found a way through in the second half when Jones pounced on a rebound to force home. Adam Lewis then secured the 3 points with a sublime free kick.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Adekanye would be some player if he finish.

37 minutes gone, Glatzel finally puts us 1-0 up; we should be well on top but we've wasted several better chances.

[Allan]

Liverpool 1 Reading 0

 

Been a while coming, but we've finally got the breakthrough. The skipper, Glatzel, opens the scoring with a cool left footed finish from inside the penalty area.

[alles ist gut]

Half time 1-0.

 

Flatters Reading massively, since O'Rourke has fluffed at least three opportunities, Glatzel had a shot scrambled off the line, and their best chance came when Clayton headed the ball over Jaros, only for the keeper to get back and palm it away.

[Allan]

Half time - Liverpool 1 Reading 0 

 

We've had a number of chances in the first 45 and really should be more than a goal to the good. The visitors for their part have hit the post and seen Jaros make a last ditch save to stop a Tom Clayton header going into the back of our own net.

[alles ist gut]

2-0 Glatzel again
