Liverpool 3 v 3 Racing Santander

Suarez opened the Scoring for Liverpool with a strike after just 3 minutes, Santander hadn't even had a touch of the ball at that point due to some brilliant passing by the Liverpool players.

Just after the 30 minute mark Liverpool full back Skrtel made an awful challenge on Santander captain Munitis which resulted in a penalty being given to the home team Stuani stepped up to make it 2-1.
