HIGHLIGHTS | Chelsea vs. Arsenal (International Friendly)

set for the kickoff from Audi field in Washington DC and Arsenal will play it back Williamson Steph catley Amano has an overlap on the right off written kude and cleared by Arsenal Kaji lost it there hamano R cane P Jones in the Box cutting shot from distance is stopped by 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 BR Cano's pass Beaver Jones mono makes a break Beaver Jones across onehanded save by Zinburger important save there by Zinburger because there was a trailing runner at the far post and this right side has been causing issues for arsenals knocked it away from White stays in the field of play covered though by Arsenal kavachi on the break has Caitlin Ford making a run slipping it through terrific ball Ford shot Caitlin Ford for a bit off Target but how about the ball played through to Ford 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 toosh shoulder offset Caitlyn Ford just slightly six or so passes completed by Arsenal short but successful now they go long with coone cross KN it down Russo tried to pounce on it brght had to get it back to goal musich a mistake there it was spilled and then for musich recovered ball still in a dangerous spot Co tried to slip it over this would have been the Difference Maker Alesia Russo press pressuring musovic and she just gives it right back to her but look at how quickly she went out pressured the ball didn't even hesitate 1 second follows the ball here sees that it has an awkward spin makes a big block with the middle of her body could he cross sburg all switched up into the middle MC lost it the pickup there from distance right to goal and was bobbled for a split second by Zinburger she holds on Chelsea in the blue arone red and white slipping and sliding with Charles got it Forward wron guro 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 plays it into a dangerous area and then off of a half volley Sandy Baltimore Just Hits it so cleanly up the wing comes Arsenal Cente with a pass left sideline maave high up going inside played across Russo went for it it's loose cleaned up not quite Tak it away shot taken though was blocked loed Bine rider was there and now it's cleared awayo played with some fire there is Chelsea but I could go back and watch that pass look from Cente oh yeah Engle up the middle Rida is blocked she's a 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 into the box it comes cleared by Bjorn off Baltimore's touch here's Baltimore again off a block she'll pick it up oh what a touch yeah turned over though Russo into the box took the shot that's over the [Applause] bar it's a really good pressure from Marshall look at all the numbers around the ball and then cool 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 L rer goes back to Gold to Zinburger cinaa little look at this for Russo but off for line was Hampton sought all the way Cente in this team is going to be really fun for Arsenal fans that little touch she has to set up little who finds the ball through played four minutes of stoppage it's turned over Chelsea will get to it Potter that is going to do it Chelsea gets the win a narrow Victory it was one nothing final score and really good showing for both of these teams I I think they should be happy with where their teams are at in this early preseason it was it had a little bit of a derby fixture to it right some chippiness in moments but most of it was each of these teams trying to figure out who they're going to be this season incorporating some new players we get to see Baltimore score the lone goal really exciting talent for this Chelsea Squad but then on the Arsenal side Cente showing off too in the second half what she's going to be as an new inclusion in for the Gunners we saw some exciting Subs who may be starters by the time the season comes along calente was certainly one of those who made an impact in the game in the second half Baltimore made an impact in the second half as well both of these teams star stuned lineups we talked about it before difficult decisions for coaches they may loan out some young players that could play for anyone else but we'll see they have plenty of time yes to come that way
