A strong performance at Meadow Park

Arsenal dominated their second leg encounter against Häcken, winning 4-0 at Meadow Park to advance.  Arsenal struggled initially to break through Häcken’s defence, but a long-range strike from Wälti opened the scoring and changed the game’s dynamic.

Mariona Caldentey added a second before half-time, despite some controversy over a potential offside involving Blackstenius. Beth Mead then scored a stunning volley shortly after the break, with Frida Maanum rounding off the scoring to secure an emphatic 4-0 victory.
