Arsenal women take an away-goal advantage
Arsenal defender, Alex Scott, scored a last minute goal to give 'the Arsenal' an away goal advantage in the first leg of the UEFA Cup final. Umeå, who are in their fourth final in six years, were frustrated by an excellent defensive performance from goalkeeper, Emma Byrne, and her back line, led by Anita Asante. They showed their progression to a true European force, despite the suspension of kelly Smith, to deny Umeå who previously scored 11 goals in the quarter and semi-final legs of the competition.To prove the point about the lack of media coverage of women's sport, your choice of media coverage is restricted to:
The second leg will be broadcast on Eurosport on 29 April at 12pm. There are now only standing tickets available for the Arsenal women's second leg game - so you can try your luck getting tickets for the game being hosted by Boreham Wood FC.
