In the Women's Champions League, Arsenal conceded a late equaliser to Paris FC, resulting in a 2-2 draw after holding a two-goal lead. The match took a dramatic turn when, in the 87th minute, an error occurred due to miscommunication between Arsenal goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez and defender Leah Williamson, who mistakenly believed she was supposed to take the goal kick herself but instead handled the ball while it was still live play, leading to a penalty awarded to Paris FC. This incident left Arsenal in fourth place after their first two league games, potentially affecting their standings if they had secured a victory.
