Liverpool 1-0 Debrecen: Reds labour to home win

Liverpool made a lacklustre start to their Champions League campaign, as a Dirk Kuyt goal on the stroke of half-time secured a 1-0 win over Debrecen.


The Hungarians were making their debut in the competition and it appeared as if Liverpool thought they would be easy prey, as the Reds took an age to find their stride.

Just when it appeared Debrecen would head into the interval with a draw to protect, the previously anonymous Torres turned his marker and fired a shot on goal that was saved by Poleksic. Unlike earlier in the half, the rebound fell kindly to Kuyt and he slotted home - much to the relief of the Anfield faithful.
