Champions League: Liverpool Advances To Semi-Final

It was a dramatic game when 6 goals has been scored in 90 minutes and Liverpool has won the game 4-2 with the aggregate 5-3. It was Arsenal's Diaby who scored the first goal in 13 minutes and gave Arsenal lead 1-0. On 30 minutes, Liverpool got a corner kick and Gerard delivered it to the middle of penalty box and Sami Hyypia headed to the net. On the first half the result was draw, 1-1.

On the seconds half Torres scored the second goal for Liverpool in 69 minutes. Liverpool now lead on aggregate but another Arsenal goal would send them through on away goals. In 72 minutes Arsenal bring in Theo Walcott and Van Persie to strengthen their attacking, while Liverpool bring in Ryan Babel in 78 minutes to keep pressure on Arsenal. In 84 minutes Adebayor scored a goal and now Arsenal lead by away goals. A minute later Babel was fouled in penalty area by Toure and Liverpool has been awarded with penalty. Gerrard scored the penalty and now Liverpool lead again.

It seem like the score will end up 3-2 but in 92 minutes Babel scored a goal for Liverpool. Liverpool won the game 4-2 with the aggregate 5-3. It was really good to watch my favorite football team won the match and progress to semi-final. Another result was Chelsea who also won the game 2-0 with aggregate 3-2.
