Zinburger great movement off the ball and progression in the outside channel here by Chelsea and look at everybody trying to find and occupy a new space hanano just steps off the Midfield line seeing if she D got it out wide dancing on the ball Ford that's blocked out [Applause] Corner R Canter's pass Beaver Jones mono makes a break Beaver Jones across one-handed save by Zinburger in the play recovered though by Arsenal Kaji on the break has Caitlyn Ford making a run slipping it through terrific ball Ford shot Caitlin Ford a bit off Target but how about the ball play through to for the perfect timing here from kagi because she understands that the line is pretty high so she can slip it early in the right seam leads Ford into space then Ford can't do enough to get it on Target good recovery from Lucy bronze to just get shoulder-to-shoulder offset Caitlyn Ford just slightly from that shot bronze slipping it through thean across looking at the back post and that's going to go out

rouso tried to pounce on it brght had to get it back to goal but musich a mistake there it was spilled and then Ford musich recovered ball still in a dangerous spot Co tried to slip it over musich made one mistake she bailed herself out yeah she did massive save comes out big spreads makes the save against Ford she knew she had to do that JP the ahead covery thought about it now we'll switch it Lawrence the cross off the fingertips it comes back written Cano in Bieber Jones blocked Bieber Jones what a sweet move that was back to bronze Lucy bronze tagged it but it's blocked long ball from Williamson it's always on when she has the ball Russo with a run made by Ford played it across but it's not close B is switched up into the middle mccab lost it the pickup there from distance great at goal and was Bobble for a split second by sburg not spotted that run that's going to do it well the first half has come to a close with the only real surprise with all the stars in the field maybe Jordans that no one has scored yeah it felt like both teams had opportunities to capitalize in the attacking third but the now thankfully Arsenal makes no changes so thanks to the Gunners making it so easy on him yeah back to Gold slipping and sliding with Charles got it Forward wron G won played it in near post picked up hanano it's loose in front and the game's first goal Baltimore Chelsea leads well that's a one way to start your scoring career with Chelsea first touch of the game here and it's great work here the back heel from Charles sets up right in into the channel and this is what hanano has done all game just outworked everybody else around her picks the ball off of an Arsenal Defender right here it's Kim little plays it into a dangerous area and then off of the half volley Sandy Baltimore Just Hits it so cleanly leans away through the laces into the back of the net one to nothing Chelsea a really good hardworking play from them Baltimore French internal [Applause] hanano there's those technical skills we've talked about thought that ball was entirely out now finally for both these teams actually off the subs bench bit of a hold there Zinburger is able to clear that one away that hold went undetected right in front of mcab high up going inside played across Russo went for it it's loose cleaned up not quite Tak it away shot taken that was blocked Bine rider was there and now it's cured awayo playing with some fire there as Chelsea but I could go back and watch that pass from Cente to macave all day long with the the texture inside of the or outside the Colombian International in a space here picked up Russo save she had a better option I think manam was open and this is unfortunate because Russo is so good in these situations determining what the right option is here she opts to go for a shot but as this play gets broken up it's ktie Reid who did a really good job in the first game against Washington Spirit has stepped in and is the Difference Maker on this play I think it the right choice there for Russo is to actually chop it back and to find all this space that monum oh what a touch yeah turned over though Russo into the box took the shot that's over the bar [Applause] it's a really good pressure from Marshall look at all the numbers around the ball and then Co can go with one touch into Russo I love that Russo just gets she recognizes when she gets that little half a yard well in America we call it yards that little bit of space there away from the defender where she can get her shot off this one going up and over the net but once the defender drops back there it's it's it's the left for McKay an inviting ball in the middle headed down straight down the middle shot taken was blocked it was off Cal dente's shot should be a corner for Arsenal it felt like she was going to teed up there the patience from calente to see where everybody runs to she's looking for the driven to the middle punched up the middle headed by Liam and it's out gold will get to it Potter that is going to do it Chelsea gets the win a narrow Victory it was one- nothing final score
