In a friendly match in Norway, the "Liverpool" club played a 3-3 draw with the local "Valerenga" team.
This time, Kenny Dalglish's team did not lack potential first-team players, including newcomers Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, and Charlie Adam.
Although the 'Reds' offense functioned smoothly, the defense struggled, and within the first 20 minutes, "Valerenga" gained a two-goal advantage: Lars Strandas scored from close range, and soon after Fegoras Ogude converted a penalty from 11 meters.
In the 42nd minute, after a pass from Downing, Andy Carroll reduced the deficit, and "Liverpool" began to dominate, but the equalizer only came in the 83rd minute when a header found the back of the net. The defender scored the third team goal shortly after, but Mohammed Fellah leveled the score as the match ended.
In another match, "Bolton" defeated the lower league club "Hereford" 3-0.
The goals for the winners were scored by Chris Eagles, Darren Pratley, and Kevin Davies.
