Arsenal Salvage a Point in Munich
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 worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- 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.
- 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.
What did Rice’s goal achieve?
Correct answer: A — It removed Bayern’s lead
Why: An equaliser cancels the other side’s advantage.
Clue in the story: Bayern had overturned Eze's opener through Davies and a Kane penalty. Rice's equaliser ultimately ensured that neither side took all three points.
Why did Arsenal not take three points?
Correct answer: B — The match finished level
Why: A draw gives one point each rather than three to a winner.
Clue in the story: 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.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain why scoring last and winning are different in this match.
One possible answer: Arsenal scored last, but only drew level. The final score remained a draw, so neither team won.
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.
