As the sun set over the Bravida Stadium in Gothenburg, Arsenal took to the field looking to take a significant step in returning to the Champions League Group Stage.
There were three changes to the Arsenal side that had lined up at Meadow Park a fortnight ago. Rosa Kafaji made her first start for the Gunners at her former stomping ground. The 21-year-old made the move to London over the summer having spent two campaigns with the Gothenburg-based side. Lotte Wubben-Moy, meanwhile, came into central defence while Beth Mead returned having recovered from an injury she picked up in pre-season.
950 miles away in the centre of Paris, one Vivianne Miedema was making her mark for her new club, opening the scoring for Manchester City on her debut. How her former side were in need of her particular creative skillset as they struggled to fashion a chance of any real note.
