Liverpool reached the final of the Intramural Championship with a gritty performance against Ajax and will now face the favourites Barcelona in the deciding match.
All the early chances fell to Liverpool: Nawin pulled a ball wide from a Giovanni cross when he had only the goalkeeper to beat; Jonathan shot over from a good position; Giovanni put another good shot too high. They finally scored when Jonathan put over an accurate cross and Giovanni's header struck the post, with Giovanni then reacting more quickly than the defenders to smash the ball home.
Ajax settled down more quickly in the second half and their neat passing was rewarded when a through ball from Stuart found Antoine on the edge of the area. The captain turned calmly and slotted the ball into the bottom corner with his left foot.
The Merseysiders now remewed their attack with renewed energy. Giovanni won a ball in a midfield tussle with Antoine and then played a beautiful chipped pass into Jonathan and his soft lob over the goalkeeper dribbled over the line to put the Reds ahead.
It was enough. Their defence held out, with Jake and Tim in particular clearing a huge number of balls.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Giovanni 8, Jonathan 3, Jacopo 2, Mattia M 2, Jake 1, Joao 1, Riccardo 1, Jiaqi 1, Marco 1, Antoine 1
