KEPUTUSAN EUROPA LEAGUE LIVERPOOL 3 - 1 ZENIT ST PETERSBURG

2 gol jaringan Luis Suarez di Anfield masih gagal membantu The Reds untuk meneruskan saingan ke peringkat yang seterusnya.

Liverpool dengan kenangan menakjubkan kebangkitan di Istanbul pada Final Liga Juara-Juara menentang AC Milan dikejutkan dengan jaringan pendahuluan oleh Hulk pada minit ke 19 yang membuatkan Anfield tergamam seketika

Namun, Luis Suarez menyamakan kedudukan pada minit ke 27, diikuti Allen minit 43 yang menghidupkan kembali suasana dan sorakan di Anfield.

Dengan persembahan bersemangat, separuh masa kedua menyaksikan Liverpool terus mengasak kubu Zenith dan Suarez menjaringkan gol ketiga bagi Liverpool seterusnya menyamakan agregat 3-3 menerusi sepakan percuma yang melencong cantik ke penjuru kiri pintu gol.

Serangan bertali arus dari Liverpool itu bagaimanapun gagal menghasilkan gol kemenangan yang dicari-cari kerana Zenith berkelebihan gol di tempat lawan. Nasib juga tidak menyebelahi Liverpool apabila dua kali bola mengenai tangan pemain Zenith di dalam kotak penalti tetapi tidak dilihat oleh pengadil perlawanan.

80		10 minutes remaining...
78		Zenit are just defending now, it's all happening at the Kop End. Agger nods a header from a corner wide.
76		Shelvey almost got it! A very lucky break fell to the midfielder, who smashed it first time but found the side-netting only.
75		15 minutes left to score one goal...
74		The Reds have to be careful, though. First Reina has to make an excellent low stop to keep out Hulk, then Anyukov sees a long-ranger deflected behind.
72		Enrique has been superb and he attacks again, delivering into the middle - where Malafeev can only punch to Gerrard. The skipper volleys at an awkward angle and his effort is blocked out for a corner.
70		Suarez again gets the opportunity and he goes low to the left but Malafeev is down to parry it away.
69		Liverpool break forward and Assaidi hurdles two challenges before being felled. Another free-kick within range...
67		Hearts in mouths there... Hulk smacks a dipping free-kick towards goal and it looks close but not close enough.
66		First Booking: Jonjo Shelvey:
65		Fantastic covering defending by Enrique to stop Hulk on the counter-attack. Vital.
63		The Reds just need one more to qualify.
60		Substitution: Oussama Assaidi for Jordan Henderson:
60		Substitution: Jonjo Shelvey for Joe Allen:
59		But it's Suarez who takes and scores an important goal in every sense - his 25th of the season. What a beautiful curler.
59		GOAL! Luis Suarez:
58		Meanwhile, the Reds have another set-piece in a dangerous area. Gerrard over it.
57		Both are definitely coming on in the next few minutes.
55		Looks like Jonjo Shelvey will be introduced soon. Assaidi also warming up.
53		Gerrard plays a sublime ball to Enrique on the left and Suarez is so close to breaking clear but Zenit avert the danger.
52		The Kop is screaming their team forward...
50		The referee denies the Reds what seemed a certain penalty due to handball and Suarez’s subsequent attempt is deflected wide.
49		Enrique almost finds Downing with a cross but the wide-man is blocked out.
47		Agger has the first effort in earnest - over.
46		SECOND HALF
45		Substitution: Viktor Fayzulin for Miguel Danny:
45		Substitution: Domenico Criscito for Nicolas Lombaerts:
45		The teams are coming back out...
45		@carlmarkham: Hope Henderson asks for DVD at the end so he can replay that pass to critics as example of where his talent lies. Technically inch-perfect.
45		@arturpetrosyan: Seems like Zenit will play left back Criscito in the centre. Liverpool's chances are rising.
45		That was a superb half of football. Terrific spirit from the home side after going behind to Zenit and Brendan Rodgers' side now have every chance in the second half.
45		HALF-TIME
44		Lombaerts was hurt badly during the goal and may have to go off.
44		Anfield has erupted.
43		Fasten your seatbelt! Enrique plays a one-two with Henderson, picks out Allen perfectly and the Welshman nods past Malafeev after seeing his first strike saved,
43		GOAL! Joe Allen:
40		Enrique supports the attack and flicks past his marker to deliver a cross. But it's too strong to set up Downing on the other side.
38		Gerrard looks through the middle for Suarez but the Uruguayan is ruled offside.
35		Speculative effort by Anyukov now - right side of the post for Liverpool again.
34		He may be diminutive but Danny is a massive threat. He controls a cross-field pass expertly and volleys towards Reina’s near post. Wide.
31		Almost a second mistake for the hosts as Reina miskicks a bouncing backpass but we're fortunate on this occasion. Hulk then drills wide.
27		Game on now! From the free-kick, Suarez steps up to smash an unstoppable effort past Malafeev.
27		GOAL! Luis Suarez:
26		First Booking: Igor Denisov:
26		Terrific chance here...
24		That's what we need... Daniel Agger picks the ball up deep and dribbles to the edge of the Zenit box - where he draws a desperate foul.
20		The Reds now need four goals here.
19		Disaster for Liverpool and it's Hulk again. The Brazilian capitalises on a short Carragher backpass and slots home past Reina for 1-0.
19		GOAL! Hulk:
18		Suarez unhappy with a rough challenge by Igor Denisov in midfield. Free-kick.
16		First slight lull in the match at the moment.
13		@Petermcdowall10: That was loudest I've heard Anfield in a LONG time #shivers
12		@dani37pacheco: Come on you reds!!!!
11		Gerrard stands over a free-kick within shooting range and the skipper does shoot - well over the bar.
10		Good centre by Stewart Downing causes a scramble in the Zenit area which is eventually cleared.
9		Jamie Carragher denies Danny - who timed a run nicely into the box - with a shield out of play.
7		Great play by Jordan Henderson, winning possession with a crunching tackle. But the midfielder hit a weak shot at Malafeev.
6		Space for Danny down the right flank - the Portuguese hits a cross-shot which is simple for Pepe Reina to collect.
4		Suarez nearly glides beyond Neto on the left but the defender makes an excellent challenge.
3		Enrique then pings a lovely ball over the top to Luis Suarez, who almost delivers the perfect control but sees the ball run to Malafeev.
1		Axel Witsel tries to raid forward early for the visitors but is thwarted by Jose Enrique.
1		We're underway...
