Liverpool 2-0 Napoli

Another Anfield classic today as Klopp's team fought out a close battle with the team from Naples. Carlo and Nikos tried a couple of long shots early on and Nicholas had a golden opportunity at the other end but the first period ended scoreless.

Carlo and Lucas were dominant in their respective defenses today but Carlo was dangerous going forward too. In the tenth minute he caught a ball on the volley to produce one of the best shots ever seen at Anfield and only some lucky positioning from Lucas kept the ball out. Victor got a good shot in too, hooking the ball over his left shoulder but it finished wide. A free kick from Nikos was blocked - again by Lucas - and the teams changed around still at 0-0.

The third period was full of incident. Emilio played in Lorenzo for a shot but Tryn saved well. Mattia played Emilio in  but again Tryn saved well! Bertie almost got away on a dangerous break but Lucas stopped him with a fantastic interception and then, from a throw-in on the left, Mattia touched the ball with his head and that was enough to divert it onto Carlo's chest and in: 1-0. Liverpool then finished off the game with a jewel of a goal. Emilio played a one-two on the left and then found himself free with just the goalkeeper to beat. And he did, sliding the ball calmly into the corner. No way back for Napoli, though Bertie did produce a wonderful header to force Giovanni into an equally wonderful save.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Emilio 8, Carlo 6, Mattia 4, Giovanni Z 4, Lucas 3, Lorenzo 1, Nikos 1, Ben 1.
