Kristianz Nemeth hit the winning goal 14 minutes from time as Liverpool Reserves scored a 1-0 victory in the Liverpool Senior Cup final to end Waterloo Dock’s hopes of glory at Marine FC last night.
The Hungarian striker fired home from close range on 76 minutes to give Liverpool the trophy.
But Gary Ablett’s team, who have had a difficult season in the FA Premier Reserve League Northern section, were made to work hard for the victory as Jim Davies’ Liverpool County Premier League champions put up an excellent fight.
It is the 33rd time that Liverpool have won the trophy outright, while they have also shared it on five other occasions.
Ablett’s side started well and almost went ahead after five minutes but Nemeth was off target with his effort.
Four minutes later Waterloo’s Leighton McGivern was denied by a last-ditch tackle from Mikel San Jose.
Both sides had chances throughout.
Liverpool’s Vincent Weijl set up Nemeth and the Hungarian forward saw his shot from 25 yards saved by Dock keeper Ryan Brookfield.
At the other end McGivern was denied by Liverpool’s Australian keeper Dean Bouzanis, fresh from helping the club’s youth team reach the FA Youth Cup final.
Dock could have went in front soon after but captain Anthony Battle guided a free header from six yards wide of the target.
Then right at the end of the first half Liverpool forward Dani Pacheco curled a free-kick just past the post.
Five minutes after the break Gerardo Bruna saw another shot deflected wide.
The Argentine striker almost set up Nemeth, but after the Hungarian went around Dock’s keeper Brookfield, Garry Riley got back to deny him with a well-timed challenge.
Liverpool continued to press for the winner, but Waterloo also went close and Godwin Antwi has to be alert to block efforts from Craig Sutherland and Joe Roberts. With time running out Nemeth was denied again when Brookfield superbly saved another shot.
But the Hungarian striker wouldn’t be denied and he broke the deadlock on 76 minutes.
San Jose and Bruna started a good passing move and after Weijl’s cross into the area, Nemeth was on hand to stab home from six yards what turned out to be the winning goal.
