PALEMBANG: A jet-lagged Liverpool side fought back from two goals down to edge Frenz United Indonesia (FUI) 6-5 in the Group A opening match of the Frenz International Cup tournament at the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium in Jakabaring here on Saturday.

The visitors touched down barely 16 hours before the kick-off at 4.30pm but still managed to put up a gallant fight in the Under-18 tournament.
