Arsenal 6-0 Lance: Gunners from another planet secured qualification and first place with a party at the Emirates

Arsenal went all out for 45 minutes and had a party against Lance at the Emirates, winning 6-0, with Jorginho adding the icing on the cake in the second half. The Gunners cleared qualification and top spot in their group while taking Eindhoven into the last 16.

Arsenal turned their clash with Lance into a celebration as they ran out 6-0 winners, scoring five goals in the first 45 minutes, four of them in 15 minutes. Jorginho put the icing on the cake in the 86th minute with a well-placed penalty. Mikel Arteta’s team thus qualified and took first place in the “16” of the Champions League, taking Eindhoven with them in second place.

Lance, on the other hand, will duel Sevilla for the Europa League ticket on the last matchday in France and will be playing for two results.

The match

Arsenal showed their composure early on as they opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Tomiyasu made the tackle, the French defense couldn’t clear and Jesus caught Havertz with a header, who sent the ball into the net from close range.

The second goal came in the 21st minute with great individual energy and placement by Jesus. Two minutes later, Martinelli shot from above the penalty area, Saba intervened but sent the ball to Saka, who sent the ball into the net from close range.

What he couldn’t do in the 23rd minute, Martinelli did in the 27th minute, sending the ball into the net with a wonderful finish. Edgard scored London’s fifth (and last in the first half) goal in the 45+2 minute after a beautiful cross from Tomiyasu.

The French had a chance to reduce the score in the 40th minute, but Medina’s shot was blocked by the post. Little of note happened in the second 45 minutes until the 85th minute.

Martinelli received a penalty for an elbow strike on Khusanov, who was sent off with a red card. Jorginho took over and shaped the final score.

The initial compositions of the two teams:

arsenal: Raya, Tomiyasu, Saliba, Magalaes, Zinchenko, Edgard, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

Slim and closed stands. UEFA severely punishes Bayern for fans’ behavior

“Bavaria” Penalized for fans using fireworks in the Champions League match against Sporting – 3:1

Following the repeated use of pyrotechnics in the South Stand during home matches in the UEFA Champions League, Bayern were fined €50,000 by the UEFA Disciplinary Commission and the partial closure of the Allianz Arena (sectors 111–114) for the club’s next home match in European competition. The previously imposed suspended penalty will come into force after the incident in the match against Sporting Lisbon on 9 December 2025 and will be applied in the next home match against Union Saint-Gilloise on 21 January.

As tickets are not allocated to blocks during Bayern home matches in the lower tier of the South Stand and all 9,336 tickets for blocks 109-117 are valid, the club cannot technically cancel only 4,800 tickets for blocks 111-114. Therefore, as a first step, all South Stand tickets will be canceled and the club will refund the ticket price to the relevant buyers. All South Stand tickets will therefore be void and will not entitle you to a match against Saint-Gilloise at the Allianz Arena.

Ticket cancellations will be made on Friday. 109-110 and 115-117. In case of resale of seats in the blocks, Bayern will inform you about further actions and organizational details in a timely manner.

Anatoly TRUBIN: “It’s difficult, but Mourinho knows what to do”

Ukrainian goalkeeper of Benfica Lisbon Anatoly Trubin He believes his team can reach the knockout stages of the Champions League despite having just six points after six matches.

“We understand that we have put ourselves in a really bad and difficult situation with these four defeats in the first four matches. But we still think we can do it. We are still alive. It is still difficult because we will have to play with two strong teams (Juventus and Real Madrid – approx.).”

But as you said, we have a coach who has won a lot. And the last match for him was an anniversary match; 750th match of his career. So he has a lot of experience. And he knows what to do. He knows what to say to us to make us understand that we still have a chance. And we will work as one group; players, coaches, technical staff, everyone. Fans too. And together we can do this,” the goalkeeper said in an interview with On The Continent – A European Football Podcast.
