Champions League semi-finals- Liverpool vs Chelsea.

Liverpool 4 Chelsea 1 ( on penalties )

Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties to advance to the finals of the Champions League.
Daniel Agger's equalised on the 22 minute to give Liverpool an aggregate score 1-1.

The closing minutes of the half saw no more chances at either end, with the game still a stifling midfield battle.

After a tense start to the extra-time period, Liverpool thought they had gained a two-goal lead when Alonso's 25-yard shot was parried by Cech and Kuyt was on hand to blast the rebound home. But his celebrations soon turned to despair when the strike was ruled out by a linesman's flag after the Dutchman was narrowly adjudged to be offside.

It came down to a penalty shoot-out, and Liverpool romped home.

PENALTY SHOOT-OUT
Zenden scored 1-0
Robben missed 1-0
Alonso scored 2-0
Lampard scored 2-1
Gerrard scored 3-1
Geremi missed 3-1
Kuyt scored 4-1
