Goalless in Swizerland

Last updated : 16 July 2009 By Adam Bryant
But Rafael Benitez was more determined to give his squad a first taste of action, choosing to make a full team change at half-time.

New signing Glen Johnson made his debut in a Liverpool shirt and came close to scoring for the Reds after combining well with David Ngog, but his volley was disappointing.

Yossi Benayoun came closest, having his shot tipped over the bar by the St Gallen keeper.

Rafa's men play Rapid Vienna this Sunday evening before jetting off on a mini-tour of South East Asia.

Team:
(first half): Cavalieri, Degen, Carragher, San Jose, Insua, El Zhar, Spearing, Gerrard, Babel, Voronin, Nemet.
(second half): Martin (Gulacsi, 80), Darby, Skrtel, Kelly (Ayala, 80), Johnson, Kuyt, Plessis, Lucas, Benayoun, Pacheco, Ngog.
