[Berghuis! Oh, just wide! That was close!]
The ball zipped past the post, and Berghuis lay on the turf, head in hands. Reina clapped his hands and urged his teammates to stay focused.
[Liverpool survive an early scare there, Peter. AZ Alkmaar looking confident in these opening minutes!]
[They are, John, and that's exactly what they needed. Show intent, get the crowd involved, and make Liverpool uncomfortable. That was a big chance!]
Reina took the goal kick short to Agger, who immediately played it out to José Enrique.
Liverpool started moving the ball with more urgency now, shifting it quickly through midfield. Gerrard, ever the orchestrator, pointed where he wanted movement.
[And now here come Liverpool, Gerrard dictating things in midfield. You can see him scanning the field before he even receives the ball. That's the experience he brings]
