CopaFORMER Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez demonstrated that he still has the magic goalscoring touch, bagging a sumptuous header during his team’s 2-0 victory in the 1st leg semi-final of the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday night.

Maxi’s hometown club, Newell’s Old Boys, claimed the vital win at home against one of the pre-tournament favourites, Atlético Mineiro; a team lead by former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho, in a line-up which also contains former Manchester City and Everton striker, Jo.

The popular ex-Liverpool number 11 was a livewire throughout the match in Rosario, coming close to doubling his goal tally as the Argentines secured a deserved advantage over their Brazilian rivals in South America’s equivalent of the European Cup.

Newell’s second goal came courtesy of a tremendous free-kick from Ignacio Scocco. The second leg takes place on the 10th July in Brazil.

Jimmy Areabi (Editor) - @fantasista1077: Huyton raised like Steven Gerrard, football has been my passion since the time I received a Kenny Dalglish badge as a toddler, and I've followed the Reds ever since – something that was easier during the 80s, when I worshipped John Barnes! I've produced work for many football media outlets & am now happy to run a major site on the club I love - providing our fans with a voice, and to bring as much information and news on the club as possible.
Having played football all my life, I aim to continue longer than Stanley Matthews...
