Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday. Arsenal who saw two of their shots cleared on the goal line, had manager Jonas Eidevall complaining about the fact that goal line technology is not uniformly implemented throughout the game. Arsenal have made it available for the return leg at the Emirates next Wednesday and felt it was unfair that all clubs are not required to do so.
VAR facilities were available for the game at the Allianz and will be present for all subsequent rounds in the WCL. Stina Blackstenius and Leah Williamson both saw their efforts cleared by Saki Kumugai and Lea Schuller. "I think it’s a problem for the competition that not every game has the same level of technology in helping the officials to take the right decisions," Eidevall said. "It’s not Bayern’s fault. It’s within their rights to take that decision, but I think we can all agree it’s very weird that you play at a level in the competition and all of a sudden it comes down to the host club whether you’re going to fund technology that is going to be used by both teams.”
