scores his first goal for LFC.
- Hansen describes his goal: "I scored with a header early in the first half
but I didn't know too much about it at the time. John Toshack flicked on a corner and I
got my head to it. I'd actually tried to flick it to the goalkeeper's right but it went to
his left. The main thing was it went in."

|
Liverpool played exceedingly well
and took their chances with aplomb, yet the feeling persisted that Dresden were a better
team than the scoreline indicated. The principal difference between the two protagonists
was Toshack, who failed to find the net himself but had a hand - or rather a head - in
three goals. His first significant contribution was a delicate glance across goal from a
corner that Hansen headed powerfully home for the opener. Next, the Welshman flicked the
ball to Case, who nodded in the second, then he headed down for Kennedy to knock in the
fifth. In between, Neal scored a penalty after Dalglish had been fouled and Case thrashed
in a 30-yarder. Dynamo's late reply, dispatched neatly by Hafner, inspired further German
raids, leaving Liverpool distinctly thankful for their comfortable lead. |

The suspicion that Dynamo might be
wolves in lambs' clothing was borne out by a spirited display. From the off, the Reds
sought to preserve their hefty first-leg advantage, and Clemence found himself in frequent
action. With the scoresheet blank at the break, it seemed that Liverpool were safe, but a
swift double-strike changed all that. First Dorner's free-kick was deflected to Kotte, who
scored from close range; then Sachse headed in a Hafner cross. Now Liverpool were
wobbling, and had the home side accepted either of two further presentable chances, then a
sensation was clearly possible. In their moment of greatest danger, however, the Reds
responded like true champions. Substitute Fairclough broke free on the left, his centre
caused confusion in the Dresden ranks and Heighway stabbed the ball home. Suddenly, it was
all over. |

Not so
super
Liverpool are on the threshold of winning the European Super Cup without convincing
anyone that a cure for uneasy form at home is within sight. All they have to do to confirm
themselves as Europe's leading team is to win the return leg at Anfield in a fortnight to
add more silverware to their trophy room. But few who saw the performance here last night
against the holders of the Cup-Winners Cup will believe all is well again.
After a first half in which their anxiety was plain for all to see, Liverpool
became more assured. But the poor quality of opposition must be borne into mind in making
any assessment of last season's double champions. Hamburg, even with Kevin Keegan in the
mood if not the form to make an impact against his old colleagues, were unbelievably
moderate for a team who hold one of Europe's major prizes.
At the final whistle, the crowd in the stands hurled their cushions as an
illustration of their feelings about the team's performance. The gesture will not be lost
on Liverpool manager Bob Paisley and his men. Both teams' failure to make an impact in
their domestic leagues after achieving European glory was reflected in the first half. If
anything, Hamburg's anxiety was more conspicuous. Liverpool, knowing they had a home game
to come, could be more unhurried. Their patience was scarcely noticeable when chances were
offered. Nobody seem capable of keeping shots down, with Jimmy Case, Ray Kennedy, and
David Fairclough particularly guilty.
Ferdinand Keller was assertive and aggressive in the Hamburg attack, twice heading
the ball expertly in dangerous situations before releasing a drive of awesome power to
leave Ray Clemence stranded after 29 minutes. The build up to the goal was no more
threatening than other earlier, but when Klaus Zaczyk struck the ball low into an
unguarded spot on the 18-yard line, Keller met it with an explosive shot. Three minutes
later Liverpool lost left-back Joey Jones because of injury and he was replaced by Tommy
Smith.
Liverpool remained watchful and cautious until half time, when I imagine manager
Paisley had a few words to say about the need to be more positive with chances. The
repeated misplacement of passes that had been an unacceptable feature of the first half
continued after the interval. After Fairclough had cut through cleverly on the left, he
finished tamely. Liverpool used their second substitute with David Johnson replacing Jimmy
Case. But the substitution Liverpool profited from most was made by Hamburg. After 65
minutes Horst Bertl's first touch of the ball was a header from Kenny Dalglish's cross
which left goalkeeper Stars stranded and Fairclough zoomed in at the far post to head the
equaliser. After Stars had dived to save from Dalglish, Clemence needed to be even more
alert to prevent Arno Steffenhagen from restoring Hamburg's lead.
Liverpool manager Bob Paisley said "In the end, I was quite pleased. It was an
encouraging performance. But I do not rate Hamburg and I did not rate them when we played
them in August in a pre-season friendly".
Kevin Keegan said afterwards "We were pathetic. The last two weeks we have
played well but we were terrible tonight. Liverpool played quite well and got better as
the game went on. I have mixed feelings about my return to Anfield now. If we had a 5-0
lead I would have loved it. I am still looking forward to it, but not so much".

lСУПЕРКУБОК
ОЖИДАНИЙ НЕ ОПРАВДАЛИ
С НАЧАЛА «Ливерпуль» и «Гамбург», как
победители двух главных европейских клубных
турниров — Кубка чемпионов и Кубка кубков/
намеревались разыграть так называемый «Суперкубок»
в период межфутбольных каникул, а точнее, в
последней декаде подготовки к новому сезону.
Были даже согласованы даты, однако позднее было
решено провести два матча, когда команды
окажутся в хорошей боевой форме.
В футболе, как отмечает западногерманский
обозреватель Г. Шаффер, рискованно
прогнозировать будущее, даже пусть не столь
отдаленное. Вот и получилось, что ко дню первого
матча на Суперкубок (а он был проведен в минувший
вторник) оба лидера отнюдь не переживали дни
расцвета. «Ливерпуль», например, подошел к
первому матчу Суперкубка, не одержав ни одной
победы в последних пяти встречах чемпионата
Англии. «Гамбург» не испытывал радости победы
три недели подряд. К тому же буквально на днях он
вь'был из Кубка ФРГ, проиграв клубу «Шальке-04»,
чем лишь усугубил свое печальное положение.
Помимо этого, по словам Г. Шаффера, перед первым
матчем Суперкубка «Гамбург» лишился своих
лучших игроков, травмированных Каргуса, Рейманна,
Ногли и Вольперта. Все эти факты, по словам
Шаффера, лишний раз оттенили определенную
искусственность такого соревнования, как
Суперкубок.
Напомним, что впервые он был разыгран
неофициально в 1973 году между «Аяксом» (Голландия)
и «Глазго Рейнджерс» (Шотландия). Официально УЕФА
признал это соревнование лишь в прошлом году.
Любопытно, что два последних розыгрыша приносили
успех младшему по рангу клубу владельцу Кубка
кубков. Так, динамовцы Киева победили в свое
время обладателя Кубка европейских чемпионов «Баварию»
в борьбе за этот приз, а в последний раз
бельгийский «Андерлехт» переиграл ту же «Баварию».
Ныне эта небольшая традиция грозит быть
нарушенной, поскольку «Гамбург» добился только
ничьей на своем поле. Зрителей было мало. Лишь 20
тысяч человек пришло понаблюдать за игрой,
проходившей под снегопадом с дождем. Вначале
доминировал «Гамбург», и на 29-й минуте Келлер
открыл счет, а после перерыва инициативой
овладели гости, и Фаерклоф сравнял результат —
1:1.

Notes:
- Terry McDermott says his hat-trick was the turning point in his Liverpool career:
"Someone was injured, I think it may have been Ian Callaghan. I was moved in rather
than be out wide on the right. I scored a hat-trick and I always remember John Toshack
saying: 'That's your position'. I got the confidence from John Toshack saying a thing like
that. He probably won't remember, but I do."

It's
that old Anfield Magic!
After a first half in which their anxiety was plain for all to see, Liverpool
became more assured. But the poor quality of opposition must be borne into mind in making
any assessment of last season's double champions. Hamburg, even with Kevin Keegan in the
mood if not the form to make an impact against his old colleagues, were unbelievably
moderate for a team who hold one of Europe's major prizes.

the game went on. I have mixed feelings about my return to Anfield now. If we had a 5-0
lead I would have loved it. I am still looking forward to it, but not so much".
Twenty-one minutes had gone before Hamburg's defence was breached. Phil Thompson
advanced for a corner by Steve Heighway, was foiled as he tried to head the ball, but as
it dropped at his feet he hooked it in off a post. Thompson, who scored his first goal of
the season only on Saturday after missing the double triumph of last season, joined in
every attack looking for another. He was not involved, though, in the second goal after 29
minutes. That honour belonged exclusively to Ray Kennedy, who made it, and McDermott, who
scored it. When Kennedy cleverly played the ball into space, McDermott moved on to it,
smartly controlled it with one foot, and drove it viciously wide of goalkeeper Kargus with
the other.
Liverpool, who replaced Heighway with David Johnson at half time, scored twice more in a
minute - both by McDermott. He intercepted a misdirected pass to strike a wicked 20-yard
drive past Kargus after 56 minutes and completed his hat-trick with a cleverly placed
shot. Hamburg, now under siege, were lucky to escape further punishment as attacks poured
in, but succumbed twice more in the closing minutes. Four minutes from time, David
Fairclough headed the fifth goal and, two minutes later, Kenny Dalglish drove in the
sixth. There was no consolation for Hamburg, who could hardly have complained if Liverpool
had run up a cricket score.
Kevin Keegan said "I was disappointed from out point of view because we were
diabolical. From what I had heard about Liverpool I did not think they would play that
well. I did not see much wrong with them from where I was watching. There were no cracks
and, if anything, they are stronger than ever. We are not that bad but it was 6-0 and
could have been more".

Liverpool revealed all their
ruthless efficiency and strength of character to overturn a Benfica side that had not been
beaten for 46 games. On a filthy night when torrential rain turned the pitch into a swamp,
the Reds showed the greater appetite for the fray and their comeback from a goal down must
rank as one of their most valiant European achievements. The slick Portuguese went ahead
when Nene sprinted on to a long clearance, outstripped the chasing defenders and beat the
advancing Clemence with a precise shot. Liverpool refused to buckle, however, and
equalised when Case netted with a free-kick from the edge of the box. Benfica poured into
attack as the second half commenced, but Smith and company held firm and the Eagles became
flustered. Then it was Liverpool's turn to advance, and Hughes secured a precious lead
with a speculative floater from the left flank.
Graeme Souness hadn't been registered in time for this tie but the Reds still
managed to win. A night of pouring rain saw the Reds go behind after fourteen minutes but
the Reds didn't panic and scored twice in either half. Jimmy Case scored the first as his
free kick wasn't held in the wet conditions by the Benfica Keeper. Hughes scored the
second with a perfect lob over the stranded Bento.

It was a scrappy, unsatisfying game,
but that hardly mattered to the Reds as they eclipsed the famous Benfica to reach the
semi-finals. The outcome was beyond reasonable doubt early in the first half, after a
Callaghan cross was deflected into the net, and Dalglish had seized on Toni's sloppy
back-pass to score with a perfectly placed shot from just inside the area. Soon
afterwards, however, the Portuguese were given the merest glimmer of hope when Case
emulated Toni's carelessness and Nene reacted instantly to give Clemence no chance.
Liverpool found better form in the second half but could not pierce the visitors'
rearguard until near the end. Then they scored twice, 'keeper Bento failing to stop a
McDermott drive from crossing the line, then watching bemused as Neal netted with a fierce
cross-shot after McDermott had miskicked.
The Reds had two away goals behind them for this return leg and Benfica turned up
expecting it to be confirmed with an easy win for the Reds. That was the resulting the end
but neither side really broke sweat. As snow fell on the pitch Anfield turned white and
Benfica turned pale too. Two early goals and two late ones ensured the Reds were
comfortable on the night.
ВСЕ ВАРИАНТЫ методов определения
победителей были в ходу в прошлую среду, когда
выявлялись полуфиналисты. Это, как замечает
западногерманский обозреватель Г. Шаффер, лишний
раз свидетельствует о повышенной остроте борьбы.
Первый способ, по наибольшей сумме голов,
забитых в двух матчах, применялся дважды.
Уверенно второй год подряд, вышел в полуфинал
английский «Ливерпуль».
Нынешний обладатель Кубка чемпионов в
красивой игре добился повторной и убедительной
победы. Уже на 6-й минуте португальский аратарь
бенто не удержал мяч после удара Каллахана, и
счет был открыт. Через десять минут Далглиш
увеличил результат. Вскоре Нене отквитал один
гол, но затем во втором тайме после ударов
Мзкдермота и Нила португальца пропустили еще два
гола. 4:1.

A cautious encounter, which for most
of its duration would have satisfied connoisseurs of tactics but frustrated seekers after
thrills, erupted into stunning action in the closing minutes.
Until then, as the two sides probed each other for weaknesses without committing
themselves to all-out attack, defences had reigned largely supreme. As expected of the
hosts, Borussia enjoyed the better of the first half, but all they had to show for it was
one strike from Hannes, who swept home a crashing ten-yarder following a corner. Liverpool
began to assert themselves after the interval, and both McDermott and Case went close,
although Heynckes hit the post for the Germans. With two minutes left, the Reds grabbed a
precious away goal when Johnson dived ahead of Vogts to nod into the net. However,
retaliation was instant. Bonhof pierced the Reds' defensive wall with a 22-yard free-kick
of fearsome force, the ball grazing the shoulder of the startled Clemence on its way into
the net. Even so, Liverpool were not unhappy with their night's work.
The Reds were drawn against the side they had beaten the previous season in the
final and knew this one would be hard. Times seemed so different to the year before. The
Germans had got stronger whilst the Reds had stuttered their way through the season.
Hannes gave the German side the lead just before the half hour and it looked like it was
going to be enough on the night to win. Although the Reds were to go on and lose the tie
they hit a crucial away goal two minutes from time. At the time Johnson's goal was an
equaliser but the Reds conceded straight after. The away goal though did everything to the
morale of the Reds. A 1-0 win at Anfield would see them through.
Любопытно, что и во втором полуфинале,
проходившем в Дуйсбурге, гости также применили
офсайдную ловушку. Как отмечает обозреватель Г.
Шаффер, защитники «Ливерпуля» при выполнении
этого приёма явно превосходили своих форвардов,
поскольку действовали быстро и согласованно. А
вот нападению обладателя Кубка европейских
чемпионов как раз недоставало в этом иатче
высоких скоростей. «В целом мы сыграли со своим
прежним соперником в финале хуже, чем год назад,
но мне кажется, что «Боруссия» сейчас сильнее,
чем тогда», — заявил после матча тренер «Ливерпуля»
Б. Пейсли. Тренер «Боруссии» Удо Латек считает,
что его команда превосходила соперника в
скорости в первом тайме, но во втором уже не имела
такого перевеса. Этим он и объяснил успех
применения «офсайдной ловушки» англичанами
после перерыва.
Счет в этом матче был открыт Ханнесом,
защитником «Боруссии», на 28-й минуте. Минимальный
перевес «Боруссия» сохраняла до 89-й минуты, когда
Джонсон сравнял результат. Но мастерски
исполненный Бонхофом штрафной на 90-й минуте
принес в итоге победу хозяевам. 2:1.

Arguably it was Liverpool's
performance of the season; certainly il was one of their most convincing in 14 European
campaigns. They brushed aside the powerful Germans, who appeared awestruck at the volume
attained by the Kop choir, to reach the final with something to spare. The Reds wasted
little time in wiping out the one-goal first-leg deficit. The increasingly influential
Souness freed Dalglish on the right, the striker delivered a delightful curling cross and
Kennedy planted a firm header beyond the reach of 'keeper Kleff. Thus encouraged,
Liverpool refused to relax their grip and scored again before the break, Kennedy heading a
Heighway cross to Dalglish, who squeezed his volley just inside a post. Borussia regrouped
at half-time and menaced briefly, but their resistance was crushed finally when Kennedy
found Case, who cut past a defender before thrashing the ball high into goal. Thereafter
the visitors had little relish for their work, and seemed relieved when the final whistle
ended their ordeal.
Graeme Souness made his firs European start after impressing as a sub in the first
leg of this tie. He was an inspired choice for the Reds as they swept past the German
side. The Reds were a goal up and effectively in a winning position after just six minutes
of the game as Ray Kennedy converted a Dalglish cross. The two reversed fortunes on thirty
four minutes and the tie was all over really. A goal for the German side would have drawn
it all square but it never looked on the cards in this one. Nine minutes into the second
half Jimmy Case thundered a shot past Kieff to seal the tie and send the Reds on a trip
down to Wembley and FC Bruges.
Английский «Ливерпуль»
второй раз подряд выступит в финале.
До повторного матча тренер англичан В. Пейсли
заявлял, что для него самым опасным у гостей
будет полузащитник Бонхофф. Именно он забил
вратарю «Ливерпуля» и сворной Англии Клеменсу в
последнее время два гола. Первый — в матче
сборных ФРГ и Англии, второй — в полуфинале в
Дуйсбурге, причем оба со штрафных ударов. На этот
раз Бонхофф был плотно прикрыт, хотя остальные
игроки атаки «Боруссии». как отмечает
обозреватель Н. Хьюджес, располагали достаточной
свободой, которую, однако, не использовали.
Англичанам удалось очень быстро добиться
суммарного равенства в счете, когда уже на 6-й
минуте Кеннеди открыл счет. В этой ситуации гости
отправились, как пишет Н. Хьюджес, «в охоту за
голами», а потому их врасплох застал коварный
удар Далглиша на 34-й минуте. Во втором тайме Кейс
забил третий гол.

LIVERPOOL, mighty and magnificent,
confirmed themselves as European champions at Wembley last night, although they could
manage only one Kenny Dalglish goal to emphasise their entitlement of the crown.
Scenes of tremendous jubilation among the Liverpool-dominated Wembley crowd were
accompanied by rapturous scenes on the field with players hugging each other and dancing
delight-edly as manager Bob Paisley joined his conquering heroes.
Trailing behind them towards the Royal Box were the dejected Belgians Bruges, who
could hardly raise a gallop.
Emlyn Hughes and one of the heroes of the game, Graeme Sou-ness, emerged with the
cup to begin a lap of honour, but soon Hughes joined McDermott in dancing his way to
salute the fans who had supported them so magat Wembley nificently and so vociferously
throughout the game. There was a sporting cheer, too, for the Belgians, as first they
stopped to applaud Liverpool and then take their circuit of the stadium.
The scenes of jubilation surpassed those in Rome last year simply because
nine-tenths of the crowd were sporting Liverpool favours. Liverpool not only made history
by being the first British team to win the European Cup twice in succession but they did
it in style and with authority.
It undoubtedly took Liverpool longer to crush the Belgian challenge than they had
counted on, and in fact it was a tentative start with both teams eyeing each other with
the suspicion of boxers embarking on 15 rounds.
It took 64 minutes before the crowd were able to let themselves go in salute of a
Dalglish gem of a goal. It was a long time coming but well worthy of the wait.
One instinctively felt that this single breach in the Bruges wall would engulf
them, and so it was, but not before Liverpool survived as hair-raising a moment as
football can provide. They had been in the lead for only 15 minutes when a degree of
hesitancy by Alan Hansen let in Sorensen. Clemence - what a magnificent reader of the game
he is - ran out and deflected Sorensen's shot.
It went to Simoen, who fired at what seemed an open goal. Even as the ball was in
the act of crossing the line at the foot of the post Phil Thompson swooped in to kick
clear.
It was a horrifying moment, and a tremendous relief to young Hansen who had settled
down from a tentative beginning to play like a Wembley veteran instead of the comparative
novice he is.
Liverpool will look back on this night with undiluted joy and the 65th minute, when
Kenny Dalglish's goal threatened to raise the roof, will never be forgotten.
It was Souness, with one of his multitude of delicate flicks, who found Terry
McDermott, who never stopped running, out on the wing. A Dalglish overhead kick was pushed
out by goalkeeper Jensen and from a Belgian point of view it could not have been a more
ill-directed punch. The ball flew to Souness and another brilliant pass sent Dalglish
racing on to the ball.
Although angled and covered by Jensen, Dalglish, with commendable calm, flipped the
ball over the goalkeeper and into the net. It was a magnificent exhibition of the
striker's art.
It was a remarkable coincidence that Dalglish - Keegan's successor - should make
himself the hero of Wembley just as Keegan had put himself into the superstar category in
Rome.
Despite the long delay for a goal, nobody could point an accusing finger at any of
the Liverpool side. They were heroes all, and Bob Paisley's decision to include Fairclough
for Heighway was amply justified by events.
Although the youngster's speed and enthusiasm often made him a ready victim for the
offside trap, he was clearly one of the men Bruges earmarked as likely to give them most
trouble.
Happily for everybody, the manager was able to fulfil his promise of introducing
Heighway in the second half as replacement for Case, who had not by any means
disappointed. Heighway had only been on the field one minute when Dalglish swooped and
Heighway's contribution was such that Bruges were no doubt happy that they had to contend
with him for less than half-an-hour. Case became the first booking of the match, but the
score was evened up when van der Eycken's name followed in the book.
It was when it was beginning to appear that Liverpool had not enough tricks up
their sleeve to shatter the defensive excellence of the team that had subdued Juventus
that Case raised hopes when he blasted a free-kick through the wall for Jensen to make a
tremendous save.
It may not have been the breakthrough but it marked Liverpool's appearance in the
driving seat as they took total charge. Even so, there seemed then a lot of poetic licence
in the Kop's chant "Why are we so great?"
Liverpool fired a warning shot across the bows when Souness cracked a tremendous
shot only narrowly over the bar.
Three minutes before the interval, McDermott served Fair-clough like a waiter at a
table, but Jensen flung himself at Fair-clough's feet as the youngster saw glory slip from
his grasp.
Soon after half-time, Bruges were happy to kick clear after Fairclough had crossed
to the front of goal with Case challenging. A groan that could probably be heard as far
away as Mersey-side swept the ground in 49 minutes when a heaven-sent opportunity was
presented to McDermott by Souness and Dalglish.
McDermott, racing into the clear, was faced only by the goal-keeper. Here was Rome
seen unfolding again, with McDermott cast in the role of opening scorer. His shot was
charged down by Jensen. It was a brilliant save but appreciation of the fact did nothing
to reduce Liverpool's disappointment.
Bruges's challenges were few and far between and came mainly after Liverpool's goal
but with only one goal in it, every advance was like a dagger thrust at the heart of
Liverpool fans.
Still, in the end, there was no doubt that the team which had made all the play and
over 90% of the attacks received the reward they had earned and can rightly rejoice in
their title - European Champions. LIVERPOOL:
Clemence; Neal, Thompson, Hansen, Hughes; Case (Heighway 63), McDermott, Souness, Kennedy,
Dalglish, Fairclough.
FC BRUGES: Jensen; Bastijns, Leekens, Krieger, Maes (Volders 70); Cools, van der

МЫ ЗНАЕМ, что «Ливерпуль» сильнейший клуб в
Европе, что он получает преимущество, выступая на
«Уэмбли», но я полагаю, что мы можем выиграть и в
этих условиях. — Так ответил тренер бельгийского
«Брюгге» и тренер сборной Голландии Эрнст
Хаппель на предматчевой конференции, когда его
спросили о шансах команды. Хаппель пояснил, что у
«Брюгге» есть трудности, поскольку травмированы
Кюран и Ламбер. а без них трудно забивать голы,
присовокупив, что «Брюгге» обычно исповедует
атакующий стиль игры, базирующийся на
коллективных усилиях. Хотя тренер добавил, что
менять свой стиль в финале команда не намерена,
обозреватели, и прежде всего бельгийские,
полагали, что Хаппель все же вынужден будет это
сделать.
Тренер «Ливерпуля» Боб Пейсли подчеркивал,
что его главная задача добиться того, чтобы
игроки не поддались миражу чрезмерной
уверенности в своих силах. На его взгляд, «Боруссия»,
которую столь эффектно разгромил «Ливерпуль» в
полуфинале, отнюдь не выглядит хуже чем год назад,
когда она была финалистом чемпионата, просто
ливерпульцы сыграли здорово.
«Ливерпуль» сделал ставку в атаке прежде
всего на Далглиша, который блестяще проявил себя
в нынешнем сезоне, забив 29 голов. Но и бельгийцы
со своей стороны позаботились о Далглише.
прикрепив к нему сильнейшего защитника, игрока
австрийской сборной Кригеса.
 Финал, как подчеркивает обозреватель
А. Фрер. начался нервно, причем обе стороны е
стартовые минуты прежде всего беспокоились о
тылах. В эти начальные минуты бельгийцы дважды
ошиблись, сделав неточные передачи, но хозяева
поля не использовали эти легкие возможности для
взятия ворот. Кейс и Далглиш пробили плохо.

Бельгийцы
действительно, как пишет А. Фрер, перестроились е
финале и не слишком походили на тот «Брюгге»,
который известен многим по отличным матчам на
европейской арене. Они избрали метод плотной
персональной опеки, причем индивидуальные
сторожа ходили не только за Далглишем, но и за
остальными форвардами англичан. Помимо этого, «Брюгге»
раз за разом, и, весьма успешно, применял
искусственное положение «вне игры». Однако в
одном случае, во время выхода вперед защитников «Брюгге»,
Кейс самостоятельно прорвался к воротам, но
пробил неудачно.
Со своей стороны, обороняясь, бельгийцы
строипи контратаки за счет дальних переводов
мяча, стараясь отрезать полузащитников англичан
и вывести в провыв либо Симонсена, либо Сорен-сена.
Во втором тайме «Ливерпуль» полностью
доминировал и дважды подряд после удара
Фэйрклафа и Макдермота едва не открыл счет.
Наконец Далглиш эвбил желанный гол. Комбинацию
начал Макдермот на правом фланге, но его передача
в центр оказалась не совсем удачной Мяч получил
Саунесс и перевел его Далглишу. Далглиш чуть
продвинулся с мячом и под острым углом отправил
его в ворота.
«Ливерпуль» первым из британских клубов во
второй раз подряд завоевал Кубок европейских
чемпионов. Любопытно, что соперники уже
встречались два года назад, в финале, но другого
европейского турнира, Кубка УЕФА.Тогда, также с
перевесом в один мяч, верх взял «Ливерпуль»,
выиграв первый финал у себя — 3 : 2 и сведя
повторный вничью — 1:1.
На послематчевой конференции тренеры
разошлись в оценках. Тренер «Ливерпуля» Б. Пейсли
оценил финал как исключительно напряженный матч
высшего ранга, заявив, что, на его взгляд, уровень
финала был выше, чем год назад. Пейсли добавил: «Когда
мы выигрываем, и уверенно, нередко утверждают,
что просто наш соперник был недостаточно силен
либо не вел активной борьбы. Но «Брюгге» сражался
до конца».
Тренер бельгийцев Хаппель признал, что «Ливерпуль»
победил заслуженно, объяснив свою неудачу
травмами игроков и оценил в целом финал как
рядовой, отнюдь не высшего уровня, добавив в
заключение, что, на его взгляд, «Ливерпуль» ныне
выглядит слабее, чем год назад, и по существу
является тенью той былой мощной команды.

Notes:
- Played to commemerate the opening of the new Al Nasr Stadium.
- David Fairclough had to be replaced by Colin Irwin because of an injury sustained
in the opening minutes. Sammy Lee was also a substitute in this match. Liverpool’s
line-up was missing Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish, who had been called up by Scotland
for the World Cup in Argentina.
- Dubai welcomed the European champions to inaugurate Al Maktoum Stadium, the new
home of Al Nasr. According to reports, ahead of kick off, the Dubai Defence Skydiving Team
parachuted onto the field, landing in the centre circle. Ismail Al Baqri, chief of the
sports section at Al Ahram newspaper praised the performance of Liverpool and, in
particular, Ray Clemence. “[Liverpool’s] game is simple and fast, embedded in team
spirit and without complications, entertaining the audience with technical moves,” Al
Baqri wrote. “Though five goals were scored against Al Nasr, the team fought, sparing no
effort. We shall not forget the alertness of the goalkeeper Clemence who stood strong as a
dam, giving no chance to the attackers of Al Nasr.”
