City immediately pinned the visitors back in the second half, with Fisk making an important block to thwart an Aoba Fujino drive.<\/p>\n
A Hemp attempt that lacked power was comfortable for Falk before the same player curled not too far wide of the Liverpool net from a tight angle.<\/p>\n
Holland snatched at a shot from the edge of the box having been able to dribble forward, but the traffic was mostly in the other direction now.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Falk was again called into a rescue act just past the hour mark.<\/p>\n
Shaw\u2019s clipped ball in behind allowed Kerolin to brush off Jenna Clark and go one-v-one. The final effort was pushed up and over the goalframe.<\/p>\n
Hemp and Shaw connected again when the former\u2019s near-post cross from the left was swept off target by the latter.<\/p>\n
The Reds could have broken the deadlock themselves soon after, though, with an unmarked Beata Olsson directing her header wide from Alejandra Bernabe\u2019s pinpoint delivery.<\/p>\n
Falk foiled City yet again a minute into stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Hemp\u2019s latest tee-up for Shaw was looped towards goal via the striker\u2019s head and Falk reacted quickly to push the ball over.<\/p>\n
She was unable to repeat that from the resulting corner, though. Knaak headed it in search of the bottom left corner and it got through the grasp of Falk to give City the points.<\/p>\n
