OPL. Second round
Crystal Palace – Arsenal – 0:1
Key: Odegaard, 54 (p)
“Gunners” in the first round took over Nottingham (2:1). And Crystal Pelas won a minimal victory over Sheffield (1:0).
Oleksandr Zinchenko, who managed to recover from an injury, finally got into Arsenal’s application. However, this match Ukrainian defender started to bench.
In the first half, the two most dangerous moments at the gates of the owners created Nketia. In the first episode, he aimed at the bottom corner, but hit the rack. Subsequently, Rice cut the pass to Edward, who escaped from behind the backs of the opponent’s defenders and tried to knock over Johnston, who rushed to intercept. But this time the ball flew over the crossbar.
The account was opened during the break. Johnston brought the penalty into his own net, fouling Nketiah. The verdict was carried out in cold blood by Odegaard, spreading the goalkeeper and the ball in different corners.
At the 67th minute, Arteta’s wards were in the minority – the second “yellow card” was earned by Tomiyasu, holding Jordan Aya by the jersey. But, despite this annoyance, the “Gunners” brought the match to a victorious end. In the next round they will meet with Fulham. By the way, Zinchenko appeared on the field in the 89th minute.
