Liverpool beat Roma 2-1

August 04, 2004 11:20 IST

A late Michael Owen goal gave Liverpool a 2-1 victory over AS Roma in the final game of the Champions World Series at the Giants Stadium in New Jersey on Tuesday.

The England striker grabbed the winning goal five minutes from time to seal victory for the premier league side after Djibril Cisse had earlier netted his third goal for the club on the half hour to cancel out Marco Delvecchio's opener.

New Liverpool signing Josemi came on for his debut at halftime and slotted in at right back against last season's Italian Serie A runners up.

The Champions World Series featured 11 friendly matches at eight venues across the United States and Canada, involving club sides from England, Italy, Scotland, Portugal, Germany and Turkey.
