The enhanced advantage was frustratingly short-lived.<\/p>\n
A minute later, a Brighton corner situation was not dealt with and from close range Vanegas reacted to hook an effort home.<\/p>\n
Liverpool re-established control for much of the remainder of a half that concluded with threats at each end.<\/p>\n
Alejandra Bernabe brought a partially-cleared set-piece under control at the edge of the box and sent a looping strike at goal that bounced off the crossbar.<\/p>\n
In added time, the away team sprung Kiko Seike into space yards out on an angle \u2013 and her low hit was crucially foiled by Falk.<\/p>\n
The Reds almost produced a third goal early in the second half, only for Grace Fisk\u2019s header to bounce narrowly wide.<\/p>\n
There was greater impetus from the Seagulls, however, and Kirby had hit the post \u2013 via a Falk fingertip \u2013 before they drew level on 54 minutes.<\/p>\n
Seike\u2019s dribble down the right-hand side preceded a cross lifted to the back stick, where Haley was able to get up and nod the ball over the line.<\/p>\n
Brighton were the dominant team now, with Seike the major influence on the flow of the game.<\/p>\n
Next, she fired a diagonal drive that Falk palmed behind, and from the corner Hayes rose to direct a header towards goal, but off target.<\/p>\n
Vanegas was close to grabbing her second of the contest with an attempt from 20 yards that took a deflection and landed on the roof of the net.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s best chance of the half was forged by Aur\u00e9lie Csillag as she stole possession high on the left and moved infield. Nnadozie got a leg in the way of her finish, though.<\/p>\n
The Brighton goalkeeper also tipped over a Cornelia Kapocs effort not long before normal time was ending, with extra-time looming.<\/p>\n
But Noordam\u2019s unstoppable strike, when a free-kick dropped to her in the final seconds of added time, snatched victory for the visitors to leave the Reds disappointed.<\/p>\n
