More importantly the game gave Markus Babble the opportunity to regain some fitness following a three-match suspension, and Bruno Cheyrou switched from his trademark flashy white boots to standard black ones.
Sami Hyypia played the first half of the game to keep him sharp after playing only 4 minutes of Liverpool's Premiership game with Manchester United on Saturday.
Patrik Berger played well in midfield and Neil Mellor was unlucky not to score the equaliser.
Team: Arphexad, Raven, Diao, Hyypia (Vaughan 45), Biscan (Foy 66), Babbel, Potter, Welsh, Berger, Cheyrou, Mellor.
