Liverpool falls in Portugal

Liverpool does not comply with the provision of Sunday and was defeated 1-0 by Sporting Braga. A result very difficult forcing the Reds to a victory at Anfield with two goals to go through. The team, deprived of its captain and the talent of Suarez, showing its technical limits. The operation is cumbersome and inaccurate and could not be otherwise with an education that sees the duo Lucas-Poulsen and right in front of the defense adjusted in a binary pair-Spearing Carragher, Kuyt before it is too isolated, with Meireles down after the first few weeks golden era Dalglish and Joe Cole is still far from its levels.

The Braga on the other hand shows a good dribble typically Portuguese, even if not decisive. It 's a single episode to break the deadlock and therefore it is up to Kyrgiakos to the villain: the greek to 17' extends naively Mossoró by eleven meters in area and Alan takes imparabilmente for Reina, encasing a goal after three games without suffering.

The goal, however, does not provide a jolt to the game, where attacks continue to struggle on the defensive. E 'Hugo Viana, Sporting Lisbon former school promised to try to liven up the match with his left and right by his kick comes the second big meeting with Silvio download from 22 yards over the crossbar with a beautiful left Reina wrought.

Liverpool tries to raise the center of gravity with the only effect of sending the first shot on target in the door with a soft header Meireles, good only for statistical purposes. Dalglish knows he has a weapon on the bench to change the game: Andy Carroll makes his European debut with the Reds at 54 'instead of Poulsen and his impact was immediate.

The new number 9 starting to attract balloons especially benefits from Kuyt, more comfortable with an attacking side, whose conclusions can not, however, to trouble Artur. Carroll The effect fades after a quarter of an hour of pressure on the Braga continues to suffer high balls but manages to contain the attacks of the Liverpool and take home the 1-0.

Without the championship over the weekend, Liverpool's next commitment will therefore be the return of the second round on Thursday. Dalglish will have a week left to prepare for the match: Liverpool at Anfield will serve another. The Tabellini Braga: Artur Moraes, Miguel Garcia, Kaka, Rodriguez, Silvio, Leandro Salino, Hugo Viana, Alan, Mossoro (69 'Paulao), Paulo Cesar (94' Helder Barbosa), Lima (78 'Meyong).
