The first half showed impressive defensive performances from both teams, which did not allow any goals or chances to be scored. The match started at a high tempo with both teams demonstrating their skills in attack. In the 42nd minute Arsenal decided to take the lead, but the goal was cancelled due to an offside infringement by L. Trossard.
