The Liverpool crowd had done an astonishing thing. They made Chelsea play worse than they can, they made Liverpool play better than they can, and they made the referee turn a crucial decision their way.
That's 23 people all behaving in the way that the Liverpool crowd wished. It was, in the most literal sense, a triumph of hope over expectation.
Epic duel
And that's exactly what Harambee Stars head coach, Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee is calling for in Saturday's epic duel with the Uganda Cranes at Nyayo National Stadium.
"We urge Kenyans to come in large numbers and play their part in that crucial match. It's a game we need to win," said Mulee, after guiding the Stars to their final training session, at Kasarani, before they switch base to Nyayo on Friday at 10am.
Mulee says the time has arrived for his players to prove to their fans and themselves that they are a better team than their position on the ladder indicates.
After their first group match against lowly placed Guinea-Bissau last month, Stars sit above only Angola on the points table, behind leaders, Uganda and Guinea-Bissau.
Mulee said he was not concerned by his team's slow start, but he admitted they needed a positive result to reassure everyone they were heading in the right direction, at least on the pitch.
Other who were left out are Christopher Wekesa, James Orundu, Havenar Maloba and Wycliffe Kasaya.
Change our fortunes
"I'd be a lot more worried about our team if we didn't play as well and if we didn't create the opportunities. Everyday, you can see a player improving and doing better. But for all of our sakes, a win is vital and something that can change-at least on the park-our fortunes drastically."
