Come to the Estadio Jose Alvalade, Lisbon, Portugal on Thursday (10/25/2018) night local time, Arsenal were frustrated in the first round. Aubameyang and Danny Welbeck's entry did not break the deadlock in the first half of the match.
Cannon London - the nickname of Arsenal - just managed to break the deadlock in the second round. Precisely in the 78th minute, Danny Welbeck tore the Sporting Lisbon goal, turning the scoreboard to 1-0 for Arsenal's advantage in that match.

AC Milan can only respond through Patrick Curtone's goal in the 83rd minute. However, the goal was not enough to avoid the team from losing, because until the fight ended the Rossoneri were unable to score additional goals, instead Samuel Castillejo was given a red card ahead of the game.
