Lasseters.com – Arsenal Vs Dynamo
December 25, 2008 11:00 am FootballThe match between Arsenal and Dynamo had initially left many wondering if it will be yet another goalless match. For many Arsenal fans, the last 5 minutes was intense, but yet, a worth-while wait; with an extremely sweet ending. The final score of 1 – 0 had left Dynamo feeling frustrated.
William Gallas had been the center of attention for the past few matches due to his public criticism of his team’s lack of cohesiveness. Although he had since left those negative sentiments behind, and it appears that his fans are still very supportive of him, this did not stop him from receiving more unwanted attention.
For one, his failed back pass had given an opportunity to the opposition team which enabled Bangoura to spring a surprise attack. It appears that even though his teammates were eagerly waiting nearby to receive his shot, he had rather kick the ball outside of the post instead.
It did not just end there. Arsenal was looking all confident for a goal as seen when Van Persie was in a rather strategic position to take one. Instead Gallas ended up being the only obstacle in the way.
On Dynamo’s side, it appears that there were several attempted of attack in favor of them as seen from Ismael Bangoura whose goal rebounded off the goal post, and Manuel Almunia whose beautiful ‘almost-goal’ was saved.
The deciding factor that brought victory to Arsenal was the replacement of Bendtner who scored the only goal for that night, bringing Arsenal on to the knock-out round
