- Monaco's frustration grew as the [Liverpool]TEAM backline resisted their attacks with ease, and the English team almost registered a goal on the counterattack in the 32nd minute, Igor Bišcan sliding a pass through for John Arne Riise, whose control gave Flavio Roma time to race off his line and save at the Norwegian's feet. [1077209 / p6]
