Summary In the 9th minute, Barcelona forward
Clàudia Pina went down after a challenge from
Chloe Kelly. Pina complained to the referee and asked for a booking to be given to Kelly, however the referee decided that one was not deserved. One minute later, Barcelona had many chances to score in Arsenal's box but did not succeed.
Aitana Bonmatí took a shot into Arsenal's net in the 12th minute, but was blocked by Kelly. In the 17th minute, Barcelona got a corner kick and
Mapi León took it, they failed to score. In the 22nd minute,
Irene Paredes of Barcelona scored an own goal, however it was ruled out by VAR due to an offside in the buildup to the goal. Midway through the first half, Barcelona started adding pressure to Arsenal's defenders. Another corner was then given to Barcelona in the 39th minute, but no goal occurred. A shot was taken by Pina in the 47th minute but it was saved by
Daphne van Domselaar. She shot again two minutes later, but the ball bounced off the crossbar. Paredes was given a yellow card in the 50th minute for a slide against
Caitlin Foord. Barcelona made a substitution in the 61st, Pina being removed and replaced by
Salma Paralluelo.
Frida Maanum of Arsenal was injured in the 67th minute and this led to Arsenal doing two substitutions,
Stina Blackstenius for Manuum, and
Beth Mead for Kelly. In the 74th minute, Mead passes to Blackstenius who scored the first goal of the game for Arsenal. The possibility of Blackstenius being offside was brought up, but it was shown to be untrue. Barcelona made a double substitution in the 80th minute,
Ingrid Syrstad Engen and
Esmee Brugts come on for León and
Fridolina Rolfö, respectively. Bonmatí shot in the 84th minute, but it was blocked by
Leah Williamson. Arsenal made a substitution in the 86th minute, with
Lina Hurtig replacing Foord. In the 88th minute, Paralluelo was given a yellow card for hitting Mead's face. Three minutes later,
