Dalglish counts cost of sloppy start as Braga take advantage

LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish was unhappy with his side’s poor first-half performance which ultimately cost them the game in Braga last night.

Just four days after tearing apart Manchester United at Anfield a team registering four changes, albeit significant ones, put in a lethargic opening 45 minutes.

Their punishment was Brazilian midfielder Alan’s 17th-minute penalty, awarded after Sotirios Krygiakos’ foul on Mossoro.
