Arsenal won another game in the Singapore stop of the Asian Tour, defeating Newcastle United 3-2 with a penalty kick by captain Martin Odegaard at the end of the game, achieving two consecutive victories.
In this game, young player Max Daumann once again became the focus. His breakthrough in the penalty area won the team a penalty kick opportunity and directly contributed to Odegaard's winning goal.
After the game, Odegaard said he was satisfied with the team's performance and especially praised Dauman: "He made a difference immediately after he came on the court. Such a performance is encouraging. We have a lot of positive gains worth taking away."
Talking about the overall performance, Odegaard pointed out: "It was a tough battle. The weather was hot and humid, and the opponents were physically strong, which was really a test. But we persevered to the end and finally won, which is a positive sign."
"We played very well in the first half and basically controlled the situation except for the one goal we conceded. Although the second half was a little open, we still created a lot of chances."
"The team is getting stronger and stronger, and the overall feeling is getting better and better. The addition of new players has injected fresh energy into us. The running-in of the entire team is in progress. We still have time to prepare, but the direction is right."
In addition, Odegaard also expressed his gratitude to the Southeast Asian fans: "It is really special to come all the way from London and feel the enthusiasm and support of the fans. The experience of this tour is unforgettable and it also makes us more aware of how great the influence of the club is."
