This was a fitting match for a final: end-to-end football and total commitment to keep a capacity crowd entertained. Aurora scored the game's only goal just before half-time, when a well-timed pass from midfield released her through the centre of the Arsenal defence and she drilled the ball home ruthlessly past Freydis in goal. In the second half Arsenal might have scored twice, on both occasions Chelsea clearing the ball away desperately after goalmouth scrambles where shots were blocked, re-taken and re-blocked. Arsenal had strong penalty claims in the middle of one of these scrambles but referee Corcoran was unmoved and VAR did not intervene. Sara then had another chance to equalise but Aurora pulled off a miraculous save from point-blank range.
