The meeting had the aroma of a big day. This is how the Emirates responded, which was filled and brought together 60,063 spectators who, despite their efforts, could not take the ‘Gunners’ to the final. They were looking to return to the last instance 16 years later, but they will have to continue waiting in north London.
Things soon turned upside down when Blackstenius took advantage of a good through ball and Hendrich’s passivity to sneak in, steal the ball and beat Frohms. Little by little, Wolfsburg began to tilt the field and finally before the holiday they would find the prize with a goal from Roord, who caught a rebound after a long-range free kick. The English defense is very passive.
After passing through changing rooms Blackstenius perforated the nets again but the video arbitrationwho ‘helped’ at the start of the game with a possible penalty against invalidated for offside, saw this time órsay de Maritzdessert attendant in action.
Arsenal suffered, which shortly after the possible 2-1 that would have given it a lot of life conceded the 1-2. Jonsdottir saw how McCabe took a shot from under the sticks but in the following corner Popp beat Zinsberger for visiting joy. Wolfsburg pardoned the sentence with a shot that was too crossed by Huth and the ‘gunner’ cast would end up punishing him.
