1051: Deportivo Saprissa 0-2 Liverpool
Play is punctuated by another cracking goal. John Arne Riise lofts a cross from the left and Steven Gerrard unleashes a crackerjack of a volley from the edge of the area
Rafael Benitez has spoken of his pride for his team after seeing Liverpool keep a club record breaking 11 clean sheets in their 3-0 win over Deportivo Saprissa in the Club World Championship.
Benitez's modern day heroes beat the record previously held by Kenny Dalglish's 1987-88 team and the manager feels it is one the players thoroughly deserve.
Benitez said: "I think it is a very good achievement. Pepe Reina made some important saves and all the team worked hard for each other. The players deserve to go into the history books of a club like Liverpool I am proud of my team."
On the match itself Benitez feels his team will need to improve and step up a gear when they face Brazilian side Sao Paolo in Sunday's final.
"I am pleased with this result but we know we will need to play much better in the final on Sunday," retorted Benitez. "We made some changes in the second half and used the squad. Sao Paolo are a good team and we will need to be at our best on Sunday.
"I am pleased for Peter Crouch to score another two goals and I will always talk positive about him. He creates chances for others as well as scores goals and he is a player who gives a lot to us that maybe other players can't."
