Arsenal were favourites to go through given their pedigree and run to the semifinals of the UWCL last season.

However, they started on a shaky note as Paris took control of the game after a dull and goalless opening half.

Two goals in the space of one minute from Mathilde Bourdieu gave Nnadozie’s  Paris a dream start to the second half.

But the Gunners weathered that storm with two late goals from new signing, Alessia Russo, and Jennifer Beatie to force the game into extra time.

Paris restored their lead through Lousie Fleury who made it 3-2 before a second goal against Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka, by Russo, ensured the game would be decided by a shootout.

Nnadozie steals the show

Despite conceding three goals in the game, two of them against Russo, the 22-year-old goalkeeper proved to be the hero of the shootout.

Nnadozie saved two spot kicks, including one from Russo, who had already put two goals past her, to inspire Paris to the next round.

After her excellent performance, the Nigerian goalkeeper has now taken to her social media page to react.
