Over one hundred thousand supporters
had gathered for the two nights of the tournament, and more than anything they wanted to
see a glimpse of the vintage Johann Cruyff.
The Dutch master, who had left Feyenoord's great rivals Ajax, duly obliged against
the Reds with a dozen reminders of his balance, grace and skill.
With only 8 minutes gone he twisted past three Liverpool defenders to open the
scoring with a low shot from 15 yards, and on three orfour occasions he released
colleagues with remarkably accurate passes.
Liverpool were determined not to play second fiddle though. A lovely move down the
right ended with Mark Lawrenson striking a post with a shot which rebounded into the net
off the back of the Feyennord goalkeeper.
The Eire international was enjoying a licence to attack from midfield and added
another just after the break to wipe out Vermeulen's goal on the stroke of half-time.
But when Phil Neal conceded a penalty, Peter Houtman restored Feyenoord's lead from
the spot. Kenny Dalglish not only grabbed the equaliser after 69 minutes, he had a
last-minute winner mysteriously disallowed.
The less said about Liverpool's second penalty shoot-out defeat the better. Phil
Neal's trusty right-boot did the trick again, but Steve Nicol and Alan Kennedy were less
successful, and although Bruce Grobbelaar was ready to join Graeme Souness in the
spot-kick team, Feyenoord were already too far in front thanks to Been, Duut, Houtman and
Wijnstekers. |
