From a corner on the right, Rice received the ball in the second column without being marked by anyone, when the away team's players could not close in time. The $132 million midfielder volleyed the ball to the near post, defeating goalkeeper Andre Onana, increasing the score to 2-1 for the host. At the last minute, striker Gabriel Jesus completed Arsenal's quick counterattack, turning the ball to eliminate Diogo Dalot and then cushioning it to the far corner to seal a 3-1 victory.

There were only three notable situations in the first half, the first being Kai Havertz's missed shot in the 13th minute from less than 10 meters. The German midfielder has not performed well since joining Arsenal, and it was he who passed the error that led to the visitors' opening goal. Christian Eriksen stole the ball and then slid it up the middle before slotting it to the left for Marcus Rashford to rush forward. The English striker turned the ball into the penalty area and then shot to the far corner, causing goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to touch the ball and could not save it.

However, Arsenal responded after just one minute with a masterpiece that reflected the team's identity between Zinchenko, Martinelli and Nketiah. Finally, Martinelli passed to the second line for captain Martin Odegaard to cross the corner to equalize 1-1 for the home team.

The two teams continued to play closely in the second half, but when given the opportunity, they could not take advantage of it. The first was Rashford's kick in front of the almost empty goal but hit the home defender's leg. Then it was Saka's turn to miss an opportunity to cushion the ball close to the goal when he kicked goalkeeper Onana in the foot.
