Jordon Ibe: Equalised for Liverpool in Kuala Lumpur
Jordon Ibe scored the equaliser as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by a Malaysian XI in the final game of their pre-season tour in Kuala Lumpur. Brendan Rodgers named a strong side for the match but some hesitant defending from centre-back pairing Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren allowed the hosts to take the lead through striker Patrick ‘Ronaldinho’ Wleh.
Ibe scored the equaliser with a powerful left-foot shot just before the half-hour mark having cut in from the right. The keeper had little chance as the ball flew into the top corner. However, despite a number of other opportunities, Liverpool failed to find the net again. Lovren had four presentable opportunities from set-pieces while Divock Origi, James Milner and Adam Lallana might also have scored.
