Read and understand · 1/2What did Rice’s goal achieve?

Read the answer and explanation

It removed Bayern’s lead. An equaliser cancels the other side’s advantage.

Clue: Bayern had overturned Eze's opener through Davies and a Kane penalty. Rice's equaliser ultimately ensured that neither side took all three points.

Read and understand · 2/2Why did Arsenal not take three points?

Read the answer and explanation

The match finished level. A draw gives one point each rather than three to a winner.

Clue: Scoring the final goal is not equivalent to winning the match. Here the equaliser removed Bayern’s advantage, leaving a draw and one point each. The narrative of a recovery should therefore be distinguished from the numerical result.

Your turn

Explain why scoring last and winning are different in this match.

See one possible answer

Arsenal scored last, but only drew level. The final score remained a draw, so neither team won.
