Arsenal produced a battling performance at the Allianz Arena as they went down to a 1-0 defeat in their Women’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Lea Schuller’s first-half header saw Bayern home, yet Arsenal will fancy their chances of turning the tie around in next week’s return.

They created a number of opportunities, being denied by goal-line clearances and the woodwork as Bayern ultimately did enough to record a 13th-successive victory in all competitions this season.

Arsenal, though, showed more than enough to suggest that a semi-final appearance for the first time since 2013 was not beyond them.

54 mins: Foord tries again after a brilliant turn on Rall. She went for the same shot but didn’t quite catch it, and Grohs gathers.

52 mins: OFF THE POST! So close from Foord! She cuts inside and curls an excellent shot towards the far corner, but it’s against the bottom of the upright! So unlucky.

44 mins: CHANCE! Schuller could have had a hat-trick in this half alone. The forward is slipped through as another ball splits Williamson and Rafaelle. Her shot this tme is lifted, but just drifts wide.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-0 Arsenal (Schuller 39’)

What a header! Bayern lead through their top scorer and it’s a moment of class from the striker! Schuller drifts into the space between Williamson and Wienroither at the back post and powers a header into the top corner, beating Zinsberger.

It was a wonderful cross from the right back Rall.
