Liverpool Football Club was absolutely delighted to announce that the attendance for their friendly with Melbourne Victory broke a record in Victoria.
The Reds and Victory attracted 95,446 to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for Wednesday night's pre-season clash which saw skipper Steven Gerrard and new signing Iago Aspas score in either half for a 2-0 win to the visitors.
LFC Tweeted that the attendance figure was the biggest in the state of Victoria as well as being the second biggest for a football match in Australia.
Our sell-out crowd of more than 95,000 at the MCG was officially the highest ever for a football match in Melbourne and Victoria #lfctour — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 25, 2013
In fact our 2-0 win v Melbourne Victory was the 2nd highest football attendance EVER in Australia (behind Cameroon v Spain in 2000) #lfctour — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 25, 2013
