UEFA Champions League 2007/08: Liverpool complete safe passage
{{date|August 28, 2007}}

[[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] went into Tuesday's game knowing they would struggle if they conceded. Liverpool were without {{w|Jamie Carragher}} or {{w|Steven Gerrard}} due to injury but managed an easy win at home to {{w|Toulouse F.C.|Toulouse}}.

{{w|Peter Crouch}} put Liverpool 1-0 up after 18 minutes with a header scored from a {{w|Dirk Kuyt}} cross. From here, Liverpool dominated the game. {{w|Sami Hyypiä}} scored the second goal with a header from a {{w|Yossi Benayoun}} corner.

In the second half Kuyt was denied by the crossbar after his shot had taken a touch off {{w|Mauro}} Cetto but he got his first goal of the season on the 87 minute mark after a fine one-two with substitute, and Dutch compatriot, Ryan Babel. Kuyt then scored his second, and Liverpool's fourth, with the last touch of the game from a Benayoun assist.
