Gunners win International Champions Cup Match. Here is the match report.

By


Arsenal FC came from a goal down to beat German Champions FC Bayern Munich in Shanghai.

Munich took the lead as early as in the 9th minute of the match with the help of a penalty by Robert Lewandowski to put some early pressure on the Gunners. Memories of the 10-2 hammering in the recent UEFA Champions League must have come back to haunt the Gunners. While James Rodriguez was seen on the pitch in a Bayern jersey but couldn't help the team to extend their lead.

No goals were scored in the remaining 81 minutes, but Arsenal somehow managed to put one inside in the injury time, thanks to Nigerian Alex Iwobi.

The match had to be decided through penalty-shootout after the final whistle blew with the score reading 1-1. Arsenal substitute keeper Emiliano Martinez made two saves from David Alaba and Juan Bernat to save the day for Arsene Wenger. Alex Iwobi, Aaron Ramsey, and Nacho Monreal made no mistake in putting the ball in the back of the net.

Arsenal wins 3-2 on penalties, while Petr Cech was declared Man of the Match for some stunning saves.
A lovely comeback by the Gunners. A great season coming up.


Stay tuned!

By
I have fond memories of the 33 rd  National Games in Guwahati. My city was decorated like a bride. A well maintained traffic system, clean roads and a plethora of sportstars in the city. It was more of an extended celebration for most citizens. And more recently, the first season of the ISL, Guwahati  had never seen something so grand. Be it the football stars or our very own Bollywood heroes, people thronged to the stadium to have a glimpse of them. Even my friends in Delhi have similar memories of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Come October 2017, the country is set to experience one of the biggest sporting extravaganza it has ever seen. India is all set to host the 17 th  edition of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
