Despite conceding a self-goal in added time of the first half, Arsenal made strategic changes in the second half, bringing in Kvybor for Jinchenco. The game's balance shifted in the 22nd minute of the second half when Gabriel Martinelli pushed in a pass from the back, giving Arsenal a 2-1 lead.

 

In the 43rd minute of the second half, Arsenal took advantage of a numerical superiority after Kante received a second yellow card, resulting in his expulsion. Arsenal sealed the victory in additional time with Troisar's goal, securing a 3-1 win. The match concluded without significant incidents, and Arsenal moved up to 2nd place, posing a threat to Liverpool's top position.
