September 08, (THEWILL) – The news of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing was announced during the 2-1 win for Arsenal in the Europa League, and both Zurich and the London side observed a moment of silence after the announcement.
At the halfway mark of their match on Thursday, at the AFG Arena, the teams were tied 1-1 after Mirlind Kryeziu’s penalty kick was successful in overturning debutant, Marquinhos’ first-half opener.
It was determined that after the first half, there would be a reflective moment, and Arsenal would play the remainder of the Group A match wearing black armbands.
After an hour in Switzerland, Eddie Nketiah, who was actively involved at both ends, gave Arsenal the lead once more, and the visitors finished the game with their sixth victory in seven games this season.
On Sunday, Everton will visit Arsenal in the Premier League, while Zurich will make a trip of their own to Servette in the Swiss Super League.
