In their first season back in the Premier League, Ipswich recorded a historic win over Liverpool at Portman Road today. Without their captain, Rex did a very creditable job of organising the team but the Reds were unable to pose the same threat that Ipswich did, thanks to THEIR captain! Jacopo served notice of his threat with an early goal: he went on a long, meandering run, beating players with a combination of strength, body swerves and sudden acceleration. Liverpool hit back quickly though: a lovely combination of passes involving Lorenzo G and Antoine saw the g7 ace shoot home for 1- 1. The same combination almost produced another goal minutes later but this time Lorenzo shot wide and a third chance was well saved by Tor in the Ipswich goal. Liverpool kept pressing and Ipswich were lucky to escape as Antoine almost bundled the ball in from a corner but Ipswich scrambled the ball away to Jacopo and he finished off the move decisively to send his team in at the break with a one goal advantage.
Ipswich began the second half quickly again… and Jacopo was deadly again.
He completed his hat-trick but then Ipswich sat back and invited Liverpool
to come on. And Liverpool threw everything at them! Antoine played in
Lorenzo G: he shot wide. Then a lovely move saw the ball switch from
Antoine to Lorenzo to Filippo and back to Antoine for a clever shot into
the corner: 3-2! Liverpool continued to press but, meanwhile, Jacopo almost
scored directly from a corner Then the last few minutes were hectic!
Lucas cleared shots off the line twice; Rex played Filippo in but the shot
was wide; Ryan (who had a fantastic game today)
played in Lorenzo G but he shot high; Filippo shot wide again and Lorenzo
put a beautiful ball onto Antoine’s head but Antoine sent the ball just inches past
the wrong side of the post!
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Jacopo , Antoine 3, Lorenzo G 3, Ryan 3, Rex 2, Anan 1,
