BALTIMORE (AP) — Liverpool and Tottenham played to a scoreless tie Saturday in an international friendly before 42,723 fans at the home stadium of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens.
Veteran keeper Brad Friedel went the distance for Tottenham and preserved the shutout with a leaping catch of a shot by Martin Skrtel in the 54th minute.
Brad Jones played the first half in goal for the Reds and Peter Gulacsi took over after halftime.
The Ravens play on artificial turf, but this soccer field consisted entirely of natural grass laid in place securely on top of the carpet. Workers installed more than 500 rolls of Kentucky Blue Grass sod to cover an estimated 86,400 square feet for the match between teams in England’s Premier League.
