Live: Liverpool 1 - 0 Shanghai Shenhua (Half Time)

Good start by Liverpool in this game with a first half behind us now that produced Fernando Torres’ debut goal. Benayoun set Torres free into the right of the box to flick over the ‘keeper and into the back of the net. Liverpool have had a few chances, nothing major, Crouch coming close with a good 25-yard drive late in the half after Fernando Torres had a penalty claim turned down.

Its been good overall for Liverpool so far but I’d expected fairly wholesale changes in the second half, Mascherano and Kuyt likely to feature along with Ryan Babel.

Either way, nice to see Torres getting his first goal for the club.
