Foord’s goal in Arsenal’s Champions League victory | Border mail
Matildas ace Caitlin Foord scored for the second straight game in the Women’s Champions League as Arsenal counted HB Koge 3-0 to secure his progress from the group stage. Foord opened the scoring in the 15th minute while Lotte Wubben-Moy and Vivianne Miedema secured the result with goals in the 83rd and 88th minutes respectively. Moments after being denied in the first game, Foord got off to a good start by his side by timing his arrival in the box to perfection to convert a Beth Mead cross at close range. The goal came a week after Foord returned home in the Gunners’ 5-1 away win at Koge. Australian goalkeeper Lydia Williams did her best to keep a clean sheet for Arsenal, making a nice reaction to deny Maddie Pokorny before the hosts finished the points. Matildas left-back Steph Catley came off the bench just past the hour mark to help energize Arsenal. The Gunners are second in Group C, three points behind Barcelona who beat Hoffenheim 5-0. It seems like a formality that Arsenal, with nine points and with a greater goal difference than Hoffenheim who have three points, will advance to the knockout stage. The teams will meet on Matchday 6, but Arsenal’s next Champions League outing will be against European Champions Barcelona on December 9. Australian Associated Press
