Karetsas, along with Christos Tzolis for the “Gunners,” was in Borussia Dortmund’s starting lineup for the Emirates Cup match, with the Greek star of the “Gunners”… matching the impact of his compatriot.
In the 54th minute, he cut into the box from the left and found the space and time to pass the ball to Nwaneri, who pulled the score to 2-1 for Arsenal, and he also drew the penalty that allowed Gokeres to score the Londoners’ second goal, bringing the final score to 3-2 in the 69th minute.
In the closing minutes of the match, there was also a penalty shootout, in which the English champions prevailed 5-4 thanks to Melié’s save on the Germans’ fourth attempt by Albert.
