After a series of mediocre games, these two teams finally fed the hungry spectators a banquet of football today in a match that swung first one way and then the other.
Los Merengues took the lead when Guillermo passed to Alex and the Trastevere Ace made no mistake. Liverpool re-doubled their efforts now to get back in the game and Giacomo's energy won them a lot of ball in midfield. But Madrid increased their lead when Dylan picked up a loose ball and flicked it home.
There was a slight whiff of desperation now as Liverpool attacked. Too many long balls were mopped up by Guillermo and Augusto was quick to attack any player in possession. But Liverpool did score. At the end of a concerted attack, Cristian played in Giacomo and, after the keeper had saved his shot, Santiago followed up to cooly slot home.
Invigorated, Liverpool continued to press. A well-taken corner was met perfectly by Cameron's head and the net bulged again.
Now only minutes remained but neither side would settle for a point. Both continued to attack but fortune was smiling on the Spanish Champions today. Alex won a ball on the right, squared to Massimo M on the left and his first time shot just inside the post gave Zach no chance at all.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Guillermo 4, Alex 3, Giacomo 3, Santiago 3, Cameron 2, Dylan 2, Cristian 2, Valerio 1, Massimo M 1
NOTE: Red cards for Marco, Mikel, Milo, Edo, Massimo S... all will miss next game
