April 2, 2008 · Filed Under Football Match, Sports 

Well, it’s really interesting game when Arsenal had a match with Liverpool. As expected, Wenger surprised everyone with the countless attack from his young team. But Liverpool also give their best to make a great defensive and some good counterattack. The game start with a full spirit of both team, and Arsenal show some really good attacking. But as expected of the Liverpool defense, their team were unbreakable. For 25 minutes Arsenal and Liverpool both give their best where we can see some good chance from Van Persie, Adebayor, Gerrard, and Torres but both still miss the chance.

The first goal in minute 26′ come from corner when Fabregas cross were right through at Adebayor head and the chance were being use to lose Reina. It were so fast that Reina can do nothing when the ball goes through their goal. Then Liverpool were fired up that their through pass to Babel make Arsenal defense shake a bit. 3 minutes later, Gerrard use fully his tactical dribble in left side to lose Arsenal defense and passing to right side for Kuyt to use this chance fully and get the even goal(29′).

The games then were posses by Arsenal until the first half over. For the second half, Arsenal still give their best and make a change to get Theo Wallcot. The game fully change to Arsenal side when their countless attack were broke by Livepool defense. They try everytime to win by home so that they could have some advantage when face Liverpool at Anfield right for the 2nd Leg. Then, Eboue were change to Bendtner to strengthen Arsenal attack. Arsenal have really good chance when no defense and Reina already loss, but the kick from Toure strike rightly at Bendtner feet and the ball goes out. That were really a great opportunity to the Arsenal side but it wasted.

And the result still not change until the game over. But, the possesion of the ball were really at Arsenal side. And Arsenal had many chances to make a goal. But as we know, luck is one of the great factor in football. At Anfield, surely Liverpool we go their fully to winning the match, but Arsenal also have their reliable young team. But this game were really great that it really entertain both fans. Hope the 2nd Leg will also be like this.
