ARSENAL slipped to a frustrating 1-0 defeat at Hacken in their Champions League second round match yesterday evening.

Following a cagey start, the Gunners had two notable first-half chances through former Hacken forward Rosa Kafaji, including a great strike which rattled the crossbar.

They continued to be thwarted by some solid defending after the break, but Hacken took their chance in the 77th minute when Tabitha Tindell fired them ahead.
