Debrecen 0-1 Liverpool FC – UEFA Champions League

Liverpool FC have beat Debrecen in the Champions League, in an average performance for The Reds. The main point is they won, but Liverpool could have played better. But the thing you’ll be more bothered about is getting through to the knockout stages. We didn’t make it, so we just have to try and look forward to playing in the Europa League.

Liverpool took the lead in the 4th minute, through David N’gog, scoring from close range. From then up to half time, it was all Liverpool. Debrecen were playing poorley, allowing Liverpool to push, and Liverpool had numerous chances, but didn’t take them. N’gog also was slightly injured about half way through the first half, but he seemed to be okay. At Half time Liverpool were leading away from home by one goal to nil.

In the second half, it was slightly more Debrecen, but Liverpool were still dominating. Liverpool had more chances they didn’t take, including Dirk Kuyt heading wide. Debrecen had chances to score, and Rudolph had a great shot on goal which Pepe Reina had to make a great save. In stoppage time Debrecen had a brilliant chance, but once again couldn’t take it. About midway through the second half Benayoun came on for N’gog, and Aquilani only played 90 seconds, something Liverpool fans won’t be happy about.

But wether we won 1-0 or 100-0 it wouldn’t of made a difference. Fiorentina won the match against Lyon thanks to a first half penalty. The only thing we can now do is look forward to the Europa League. It should be easier than the Champions League, so it’s a chance to win some silverware this season.

Final Score: Debrecen 0-1 Liverpool.
