Liverpool scored with a pair of early volleys to beat Juventus 2-1 in a Champions League quarterfinal match that commemorated the Heysel Stadium tragedy nearly 20 years ago.

Sami Hyypia scored the first goal from the left side in the 10th minute, and Luis Garcia added the second with a hard shot from well outside the area in the 25th. Defender Fabio Cannavaro replied for Juventus, scoring his first Champions League goal with a powerful header in the 63rd.

In another quarterfinal match, PSV Eindhoven came back to draw 1-1 with host Lyon. Florent Malouda sent a low shot past PSV goalkeeper Gomes in the 12th minute, but Phillip Cocu equalised for the Dutch leaders in the 79th.

The second leg matches will be played next Wednesday. Juventus had only conceded two goals in its first eight Champions League matches this season, but the Serie A co-leaders allowed two in the first half yesterday.

Hyypia, recalled to the Liverpool defence because Mauricio Pellegrino is ineligible, opened the scoring when Steven Gerrard8217;s corner was flicked on by Luis Garcia to the Finland international.

Fifteen minutes later, Anthony le Tallec floated a ball into space midway in the Juve half. Luis Garcia then ran through to take control and lob a firmly struck 25-meter shot over the head of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and just under the crossbar.

The result is likely to leave both sets of fans satisfied 8212; Liverpool with its win and Juventus with an important away goal.

Hyypia 10, Garcia 25

Fabio Cannavaro 63
