Liverpool U19s ensured their European adventure lives on after they defeated FC Porto in a UEFA Youth League classic at Kirkby on Wednesday evening.
Despite falling a goal behind to their Portuguese counterparts after just six minutes, Barry Lewtas' side delivered an emphatic response in the second half as Melkamu Frauendorf drilled home a low-driven cross from Ben Doak on 55 minutes.
Although the young Reds failed to edge themselves ahead as they ramped up the pressure on their opponents with the game entering its final stages, Liverpool secured an encounter with Sporting CP in Lisbon next month after a 6-5 penalty shoot-out victory.
