  • Story Text: THE BRITISH CLUB SIDE LIVERPOOL DREW WITH THE WEST GERMAN CHAMPIONS COLOGNE YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) WHEN THE TEAMS MET IN THE QUARTER-FINAL OF THE EUROPEAN CUP.IT WAS THE FIRST LEG OF THE TWO -MATCHES WHICH DECIDE WHICH CLUB WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT ROUND.

    COLOGNE MADE A LATE CHANGE, BRINGING IN LOHR, NORMALLY A CENTRE-FORWARD, IN PLACE OF OUTSIDE LEFT HORNIG, WHO WAS INJURED IN TRAINING.THE WEST GERMAN CHANCELLOR, DR.ERHARD, WAS AMONG THE 60,000 WHO PACKED THE STADIUM.

    FROM A SPECTATOR'S POINT OF VIEW IT WAS NOT A GOOD MATCH.COLOGNE WERE ON THE ATTACK AND LIVERPOOL ON THE DEFENCE ALMOST THROUGHOUT THE MATCH.THE COLOGNE ATTACK WAS GOOD, WITH OVERATH AND STURM DISTRIBUTING THE BALL TO THE FORWARDS.THE ONE TIME LIVERPOOL MIGHT HAVE SCORED WAS IN THE CLOSING MINUTES OF THE GAME.BYRNE MADE A RUNNING SHOT, BUT IT WAS SAVED, SPECTACULARLY, BY THE GERMAN GOAL-KEEPER SCHUMACHER.

    THE GAME WAS PLAYED IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AFTER LIGHT SNOW HAD THAWED ON THE PITCH SINCE THE MORNING AND THERE HAD BEEN A SHOWER OF RAIN.

    THE TWO TEAMS MEET AGAIN AT LIVERPOOL'S HOME GROUND ON MARCH 3RD.
