BOAVISTA 1-1 LIVERPOOL

As Murphy took his free kick despite the fact that the Porto 'keepers view was obstructed by the wall he dived early and the ball ended up in the opposite corner of the net. Really dumb goalkeeping. Silva levelled on the hour, powerfully heading in Sanchez's corner.

Assists : Fowler, Sanchez

DORTMUND 2-1 BOAVISTA

With his back to play Goulart turned and brushed aside old man Reuter before hitting an awesome shot in off the post. Boavista are the most spectacular goalscorers in the Champions League. Dortmund equalised from Reuter's quickly taken free kick. Koller's flicked the ball onto Ricken who sent Ricardo on his arse before lifting the ball into the net. The impressive Koller turned Rosicky centre's past the 'keeper to score the winner.

Assists : Koller, Rosicky


DYNAMO KYIV 1-2 LIVERPOOL

Gerrard spotted Murphy running into the box and launched a huge cross which dropped perfectly for his team-mate, Murphy's finish was equally brilliant. A foul by Heskey and slack defending from the resulting free kick gave Dynamo the equaliser. Ghioane poking in Belkevich's cross. World Class Gerrard put Liverpool back in the lead with a deflected effort.

Assists : Gerrard, Belkevich

11 SEPTEMBER 2001

DYNAMO KYIV 2-2 DORTMUND

Melashchenko showed tremendous strength to fight his way through Worns and Reuter and then poked the ball past Lehmaan. A swift passing move lead to the second goal. A Dynamo player fell onto the ball when challenging for a cross. While the Germans appealed for handball he managed to pass to Lucky, 2-0. Dortmund's big summer signings then earned their team a point. Koller drilled Amoroso's pass under Filiminov and the Brazilian put away a rebound after Filiminov spilled Rosicky's shot.

Assists : ?, Amoroso


LIVERPOOL 1-1 BOAVISTA

A simple ball over the top caught out what has rapidly become a less than solid defence. Goalkeeper Ricardo sent the ball 80yds downfield, Hyppia's attempted clearance found Goulart and as he tried to steady himself for a shot Silva took the ball off his feet and blasted Boavista in front. Owen equalised with another superb goal. He timed his run onto Heskey's pass to perfection and from the edge of the box curled the ball into the top corner.

Assists : Goulart, Heskey
