They entered at the first qualifying stage, which consists of two one-legged matches before a two legged knockout game to reach the groups.<\/p>\n<p>Their victory over Linkoping means they will play the winners of Paris FC v FC Kryvbas, who play later this evening. Should the Gunners win that tie, they will face another team over two matches in October.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/06\/19\/75136039-12488695-image-m-24_1694026102582.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lina Hurtig flicked home Arsenal&#8217;s second goal in the 81st minute after sustained pressure<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/06\/19\/75136041-12488695-image-m-26_1694026134272.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Australian international Caitlin Foord got the games opener, heading home Kim Little&#8217;s cross<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/06\/19\/75135987-12488695-Alessia_Russo_made_her_Arsenal_debut_after_a-m-28_1694026599583.jpg\" height=\"543\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Alessia Russo made her Arsenal debut after moving from Manchester United on a free transfer<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United will also enter at the second qualifying round and both English clubs could face tough ties, with last year\u2019s runners-up Wolfsburg, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid all possible opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Linkoping are currently second in the Swedish top flight, which runs from March until November, and proved difficult opponents despite the scoreline.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal had the chance to take the lead in the seventh minute when Frida Maanum\u2019s cross was handled in the box, but Little\u2019s penalty was saved by goalkeeper Cajsa Andersson.<\/p>\n<p>Little then sent a shot just over the bar before Lotte Wubben Moy\u2019s header hit the outside of the post and bounced wide.

Little twisted and turned on the right-hand side of the box before sending a dinked cross to the back-post, which an unmarked Foord headed home.<\/p>\n<p>Alessia Russo, who was making her Arsenal debut, then missed a good chance to double Arsenal\u2019s lead with the forward sending a close-range header wide.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end, Manuela Zinsberger had to be alert to push Yuka Momika\u2019s free-kick around the post to preserve Arsenal\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<p>After a period of pressure from the home side, Arsenal found an all-important second goal in the 81st minute when Hurtig flicked in Katie McCabe\u2019s free-kick. Blackstenius then wrapped up the game in the 90th minute as she tapped in Foord\u2019s cross at the near-post.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/06\/19\/75135977-12488695-image-a-29_1694026656074.jpg\" height=\"467\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Foord turned provider when Stina\u00a0Blackstenius nudged home her cross in the 90th minute<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/06\/20\/75135979-12488695-image-a-44_1694027786189.jpg\" height=\"507\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>If Arsenal beat either Paris FC or\u00a0FC Kryvbas they may face Wolfsburg, PSG or Real Madrid<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS<\/h3>\n<p><span>Arsenal (4-3-3):<\/span>\u00a0Zinsberger; Maritz (Catley), Wubben-Moy, Ilestedt, McCabe; Walti, Little (Pelova), Maanum (Beattie); Lacasse (Hurtig), Foord, Russo (Blackstenius)<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs not used:<\/span>\u00a0D&#8217;Angelo, Williams, Kuhl, Mead, Lia\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Goals:<\/span>\u00a0Foord 53&#8242;, Hurtig 81&#8242;, Blackstenius 90&#8242;<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager<\/span>: Jonas Eidevall<\/p>\n<p><span>Linkoping (5-3-2) :<\/span>\u00a0Andersson; Lennartsson, Ostlund (Brenn), Karlsson (Beard), Lennartsson, De Jongh (Saving); Takarada, Momiki, Selerud; Tandberg, Kapocs (Bjork)<\/p>\n<p><span>Subs not used<\/span>:\u00a0Wiklund, Lovisa, Elofsson, Svedberg, Ozdemir, Lundin, Abam,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Booked<\/span>: Brenn<\/p>\n<p><span>Manager:<\/span>\u00a0Andre\u00e9 Jeglertz<\/p>\n<p><span>Referee: <\/span>Deborah Anex<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12488695\/Linkoping-Women-0-3-Arsenal-Women-Jonas-Eidevalls-ease-past-Swedish-opposition-face-tough-ties-second-round-Champions-League-qualification.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linkoping Women 0-3 Arsenal Women: Jonas Eidevall&#8217;s side ease past their Swedish opposition but could face tough ties in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
