Liverpool Legends have played out a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the annual charity match for the LFC Foundation.
A lovely finish from Thiago Alcantara and an absolute rocket from Jay Spearing put the Reds in firm control but after Dortmund reduced the deficit through Mo Zidan, they equalised through Jan Koller.

Thanks for joining us. Take care.

And that's it. A great afternoon for a great cause with Dortmund fighting back from two goals down at half-time to earn a share of the spoils.
But Jan Koller fluffs his lines.
He's been replaced by Vladimir Smicer.
Jan Koller what Jan Koller, the 52-year-old finding space in the box to stoop low and head Dortmund level.
The midfielder has been everywhere. Some footballer.
Peter Crouch, 6ft 7in, and Jan Koller, 6ft 8in, have just shared a hug in the Borussia Dortmund penalty box. Lovely.
The forward replaces Mark Gonzalez.
Peter Crouch pulls off at the far post and Steven Gerrard tries to stand the ball up for him, but he isn't quite able to manage it.
But Nelson Valdez heads over for Borussia Dortmund, who are beginning to dominate.
One of Jurgen Klopp's old boys, Mo Zidan, goes clean through on goal and makes no mistakes, side-footing past Pepe Reina.
Yossi Benayoun comes on. Another player popular with the supporters.
The popular former striker is on and he gets a great reception from the Anfield faitful. He'll fancy getting on the scoresheet, here.
Steven Gerrard's back heel plays in the current Eintracht Frankfurt boss, whose left-footed shot across goal is saved.
Looks like the defender has done something to his hamstring. Jermaine Pennant on.
There's no many for the Germans, but that was one, Mo Zidan firing over after a quick break.
Look at this no-look pass, run and fine finish from Thiago!

And this is even better from Jay Spearing!

We are back under way. Plenty of changes.
An excellent first half from Liverpool, who will feel they should be out of sight by now.
And no doubt the star of the show - Thiago Alcantara. At 34, he looks like he should still be playing professionally.
A fine finish from the classy Thiago Alcantara and an absolute rocket from Jay Spearing has the Reds firmly in control.
Ragnar Klavan lets fly with a left-footer but it's well saved. Liverpool are pushing for more goals.
The balls falls to the midfielder 22 yards out and he let rips with a first-time effort that swerved and flew into the top corner.
Steven Gerrard would have been proud of that!
It has been coming, but that was some goal. A superb strike from distance. Plenty inside Anfield were shocked, especially given Jay Spearing wasn't known for his goalscoring during his playing days.
What a strike that is!
Liverpool could and should be out of sight here. Steven Gerrard has just missed another good chance and he alone could have had a hat-trick. It has been a long 40 minutes for Dortmund's players
The Liverpool captain is released by Thiago Alcantara but sees his left-footed toe-poke saved. He then tries to chip the ball to the back post for Thiago, but it drifts wide.
Steven Gerrard is getting closer!
Natasha Dowie comes on for Ryan Babel.
And Sami Hyypia is replaced by Gregory Vignal.
The Reds are enjoying this, passing the ball around the pitch.
And Steven Gerrard has just fired over a decent opportunity.
Moritz Leitner comes on for Paul Lambert for Dortmund while Sander Westerveld replaces Jerzy Dudek in the Liverpool goal.
