JAKARTA, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta: Liverpool defeated Indonesia XI in a pre-season friendly yesterday, with the frustrated Reds finally scoring a second goal after struggling to break through a solid wall of defence.
The Indonesia XI, made up of mostly of national team players, lost in front of a home crowd in the capital Jakarta, but gave a solid performance that ended 2-0.
The stalls in the cavernous Gelora Bung Karno Stadium were a sea of red from both Liverpool and Indonesia jerseys, with Indonesia fans cheering each time striker Titus Bonay touched the ball.
Despite the loss, Indonesian followers seemed pleased at the result -- more dignified than their team’s 7-0 defeat to Arsenal last week. AFP
