"FC Bayern Women fought back from 2-0 down at half-time to win 3-2 against holders Arsenal WFC in the UEFA Women's Champions League on Wednesday evening. Under the watchful eyes of president Herbert Hainer, sporting director Christoph Freund and men's team coach Vincent Kompany, the Munich girls trailed early to Emily Fox's fifth-minute goal, before Mariona Caldentey scored a second for the Gunners 18 minutes later."
"Maria Luisa Grohs spilled a powerful shot from Beth Mead and Fox reacted quickest to head in the early opener. Arsenal continued to dictate proceedings after that and it wasn't until the 20th minute that Bayern had their first sight of goal. Klara Bühl advanced down the left said and squared the ball to Lea Schüller. The FCB number 11 went for the first-time finish but Gunners goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar was equal to it."
"FCB started the second period better and fashioned the first chances. Arsenal then regained more control but couldn't convert their opportunities. Bayern did, however: Momoko Tanikawa released Bühl and she picked out the run of Şehitler, who slotted past the Arsenal custodian to reduce the deficit. The Bavarians were then rewarded with the equaliser through Harder in the 80th minute. Bühl was again the provider for the Dane to drive home the equaliser."
