The defending champions did not expect this. Bayern Munich, who were losing 2-0 at halftime, managed to turn the game around and win 3-2.
- Arsenal Women took a commanding 2-0 lead at half-time, with early goals from Emily Fox (5′) and Mariona Caldentey (23′) against Bayern Munich Women at the Allianz Arena. Despite dominating the first half, Arsenal could not maintain their advantage: Bayern made a strong comeback in the second half.
- The turnaround began with a goal by Alara Sehitler (67′), followed by a strike from Pernille Harder (80′) and the winning goal by GlĂłdĂs ViggĂłsdĂłttir (86′) with all three assist from Klara BĂĽhl.
- Statistically, Arsenal had more shots (15 vs 10) and more corners (5 vs 1), but they failed to convert their strong start into a win, while Bayern’s clinical second-half performance proved decisive.
- That was an amating birthday present for Bayern's forward Lea SchĂĽller who celebrated her 28th birthday.
- The result leaves Arsenal’s position in the group stage under threat, requiring improved consistency and resilience if they hope to advance, while Bayern’s comeback underscores their fighting spirit and depth.
