: Supercup: Liverpool versus Bayern Munich
What a game! Last year’s Champions League winner against the UEFA Cup winner. Liverpool’s off to a great start this season with a win over West Ham on two Michael Owen goals, and he did it again in this game. Early in the first half his cross set up a teammate, and Heskey finished a great chance of his own just before the break. He caught a through-pass then easily outran the defenders and finished around a diving Khan. As the second half started, Munich had reason to wear red: ten seconds in Owen received a long ball from the back, darted forward with it, and put it past Khan to give Liverpool a 3-0 lead. Wild! Finally, with 30 minutes to go, Bayern showed signs of life when one of the smallest on the pitch, Salihamidozic, put in a great header to get one back. Then, after a lull, they got another with 10 minutes left, with Jancker’s header. But even with Khan playing forward and leaving his goal empty, Bayern couldn’t do it. Final: 3-2 Liverpool!
