Zinsberger forced into a low early save as Pelova shoots from the edge of the box. 1-0 Ajax take the lead. A really enthralling watch here where despite having most of the possession Arsenal have never truly felt in control. Plenty of time for Arsenal to deal with it before the goal though. More needed in the second half Some controversy though as in the build up Ajax took a free kick for offside in the opposition half. Williamson strides forward from defence and plays an eye of the needle pass through to Catley. The ball won't go in for her today. Will be infuriated by the disallowed goal for McCabe but happy with the comeback after a difficult first half. Blackstenius then immediately goes through on goal but Kop touches away as she looks to go around her. They got their WSL campaign off to a perfect start on Friday night with a 4-0 win over Brighton. McCabe is miles onside.
Romée Lechter's two goals mean Arsenal have work to do in the second leg in Amsterdam if they are to reach the group stage.
61 mins: Arsenal will be keen to take more than a one-goal cushion into the second leg – particularly with Ajax not playing in their league this week. She is booked, and Kim Little will take the spot kick … 65 mins: Foord wins a free kick 20 yards out after battling for the ball. Arsenal racking up the shots on goal here … the Old Days already.” Moments later, Blackstenius tests Kop with a low effort from distance. The pressure tells, Soraya Verhoeve penalised for an unseemly shove on Beth Mead. 95 mins: Kardinaal wins the ball from Foord and goes over, beset by cramp. It finished Rangers 2-3 Benfica at Ibrox – a narrow defeat for Malky Thomson’s side, but they still have hope of turning things around in the return leg next week. 58 mins: Caitlin Foord is on, replacing Hurtig. 78 mins: Isa Kardinaal gets across to cut out a McCabe through ball, aimed at Foord. Ajax have been camped in their own half, but they get forward in numbers here, and Tiny Hoekstra turns her marker too easily.
Ajax draw 2-2 at Arsenal and Juventus were also held but there were wins for Bayern and Benfica in Tuesday's opening legs.
