75' A late challenge on KCC sees Arsenal win a free kick between the half way line and the edge of the box.

46' Second half is underway
Leah Williamson is warming up at halftime here, I doubt she will be coming on now, but she's passing with some of the staff, including Kelly Smith, so we'll see if she gets some minutes towards the end.
Half time: Arsenal 1-0 Twente, a solid performance from the Gunners but they have only found the end product once, through Beth Mead in the 10th minute. Promising signs from the hosts however. The visitors have offered very little going forward and have struggled to get out of their own half.
46' McCabe delivers the corner and it is cleared by Twente but stays in Arsenal's posession until it is put out for an Arsenal throw in

37' Jill Roord clears the ball away from the Twente box, not too much involvement so far from the ex-Arsenal and City player
36' Leah Williamson is shouting words of encouragement from the bench, you can take the Arsenal player off the pitch, but you can't take the Arsenal fan out of her... or something like that
33' Mariona intercepts Twente's attempt to play out from the back and puts a ball across the box, but there is no one anywhere near the end of it
30' A good ball in from McCabe finds Russo who heads it just wide of the near post, a strong header from the striker but just off target
29' Arsenal have a corner, surprisingly the first corner of the game! Katie McCabe looks to be taking it
28' Another good attack from Arsenal. KCC runs it down the right wing and puts the ball in for Pelova, who fumbles it slightly but lays it off to Mariona who's shot is blocked. Promising signs from the hosts
26' Twente go forward and a ball is put in for Sophie Proost who heads it very high over the bar, still 1-0 to Arsenal
25' Twente have really struggled to get out of their own half, and Arsenal have dominated the posession and the attacks

17' Taylor Hinds' pace looks like it will be useful here as Arsenal are sitting quite high, and her pace getting back is key
16' Play has resumed and Hinds is carrying on fine
12' Taylor Hinds is fouled just outside the area. She is recieving medical treatment at the moment.
12' It's still 1-0 Arsenal, and the Gunners certainly look the brighter here. Lots of interceptions of Twente's messy passsing and looking confident going forward.
It's Beth Mead for Arsenal! She is given the ball by Alessia Russo, and she calmly puts the ball in the back of the net. 1-0!
GOAL! Arsenal!
9' Cooney-Cross puts a nice ball into the box, but perhaps a little too much on it and the ball goes out for a goal kick
8' The ball nearly ends up in the net for Arsenal! Olivia Smith displays some fantastic footwork down the left hand side and puts the ball into the box, but Arsenal's shots are blocked

4' A lovely passage of play for Arsenal down the right hand side ending in Mariona taking a shot which she sent just high and wide. A good early sign of attack for the hosts
3' No massive moments in this game yet, a lot of turnovers for both sides in the midfield. Hopefully the players will settle into it quickly.
Kick off!
The FC Twente subs are standing with their arms around each other, the Arsenal players opting for a more chilled approach of sitting under blankets on the bench!
The teams are out, the Champions League Anthem is playing - takes me right back to Lisbon!
North London forever being sung before kick off, a bit earlier than usual due to the UEFA rules. Waiting for the players now
Just six minutes until kick off here! The subs are coming over to the bench, which is right underneath the press box
We have Suzy Lycett here at Meadow Park as well so will be sharing her brilliant photos on The Gooner social media throughout the evening!
