Steven Gerrard u 62. je minuti zabio glavom na ubacivanje Emiliana Insue s lijeve strane za vodstvo Benitezove momčadi. Bio je to peti Gerrardov pogodak ove sezone.
Samo osam minuta kasnije Yossi Benayoun nakon prodora u 16-erac lijevom je nogom s desne strane zabio pod gredu gostujućeg vratara Hahnemanna. Lopta se pritom odbila od jednoga gostujućeg braniča.
