A Late Goal Saves Arsenal's Draw

How to use these two pages

Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.

Student worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

  1. Before reading · 2 minutes

    Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”

  2. Read and answer · 8–10 minutes

    Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.

  3. Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes

    Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.

Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.

Answers to the 2 questions

The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.

  1. Who scored the goal that made the final score 2–2?

    Correct answer: C — Declan Rice

    Why: Rice scored Arsenal’s late equaliser. Kane and Davies scored for Bayern.

    Clue in the story: Harry Kane put Bayern ahead with a penalty. But Declan Rice scored in the 82nd minute, Sky Sports reported. Arsenal left Munich with a draw.

  2. Which order is correct?

    Correct answer: B — Eze opened the scoring, Bayern went ahead, Rice equalised

    Why: Eze scored first. Davies and Kane put Bayern ahead before Rice levelled.

    Clue in the story: Harry Kane put Bayern ahead with a penalty. But Declan Rice scored in the 82nd minute, Sky Sports reported. Arsenal left Munich with a draw.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Retell the change in the lead without listing every minute of the game.

One possible answer: Arsenal scored first, Bayern came back to lead, and Rice’s late goal made it a draw.

This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
