Went on vacation with minimal advantage for ”gunners“.
The second half brought a similar game as in the first. Dynamo retreated and looked for his chance from the counter attack while Arsenal dominated possession and made three times more passes than the opponent from Zagreb.
Arsenal threatened and the attack in the 66th minute bore fruit. Martinelli made a great cross and found it Havertz who broke free Bernauer and nicely “turned” the ball with his head for a new lead in the game. Havertz scored for the third game in a row in the Champions League.
Both coaches refreshed the team with substitutions, Cannavaro hoping to at least threaten the goal more seriously, but to no avail. Rice had a chance to make it 3:0 in the 75th minute, but in a good position he reacts badly with his head and inexplicably misses the goal frame.
After the tempo of the game dropped a bit towards the end of the game, Trossard he goes forward brilliantly and avoids the backfield and finds you Martin Ødegaard who scores for 3:0 and concludes the dominant game of Arsenal.
Dinamo has a chance to Champions League playoff all further and after the weekend game with Istria expects them AC Milan home in the last attempt to win the next stage.
Arsenal at the weekend play with Wolverhampton and then has hosting code Girona.
