"The Gunners had looked comfortable early on and took just five minutes to alter the scoreline when Beth Mead's parried shot was headed home by Emily Fox from close range. Mariona Caldentey doubled their lead with a fine strike into the top-right corner, capitalising on Stine Ballisager's error when trying to play out from the back in the 23rd minute."
"But Bayern reduced the deficit in the 67th minute through Sehitler, who rounded off a free-flowing move with a simple tap-in five minutes after coming on. That moment sparked an improbable comeback, with Harder restoring parity with a sensational finish beyond the grasp of Van Domselaar 10 minutes from time. There was to be more late drama, though, with Bayern captain Viggosdottir completing the turnaround when she finished from Klara Buhl's delivery, which was her third assist of the match."
Arsenal led 2-0 at half-time after Emily Fox converted a Beth Mead parried shot and Mariona Caldentey struck into the top-right corner following a Stine Ballisager error. Bayern improved after the break but initially failed to test Daphne van Domselaar, with Alessia Russo having an effort from distance. Alara Sehitler reduced the deficit in the 67th minute, tapping in five minutes after coming on. Pernille Harder equalised with a sensational finish ten minutes from time. Bayern captain Glodis Viggosdottir completed the turnaround with an 86th-minute finish from Klara Buhl's delivery, Buhl's third assist of the match. Jose Barcala's side showed late resilience to secure the win.
