Adelaide's Titanium Security Arena hosted a night full of skill and entertainment.
The best of Liverpool and Manchester United from the past generations took to the indoor court in Adelaide last night in the Battle of the Reds.
Titanium Security Arena was transformed for the Australian first, with the likes of Luis Garcia, Louis Saha, Eric Djemba-Djemba, David James and Lee Martin tackling the best of the Socceroos and A-League Legends in a round-robin style tournament.
It was as fast indoor football, with the entertainment kicking in from the start with all teams hungry to win, showing that the rivalry is still alive and kicking.

The A-League Legends were first to be knocked out, followed by the Manchester United Legends, leaving the final to be played between the Socceroos Legends and the strong Liverpool Legends.
After David Thompson smashed in a cracking volley three seconds from the final whistle, the game was headed to penalties. English goalkeeping king David James was to guard the Reds' goal and former Wanderers keeper Ante Covic was in goal for the Socceroos Legends.
With both teams slotting home their spot kicks, it was going to take something special, so David James stepped up. His dive to the right was matched with a big claw to stop the ball from hitting the net, crowning the Liverpool Legends as the winners.
