LONDON (AP) — Caitlin Foord scored on an overtime breakaway and Arsenal won the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup with a 3-2 victory over Brazil’s Corinthians on Sunday.

Olivia Smith and Lotte Wubben-Moy scored in regulation for Arsenal, which earns $2.3 million for winning the intercontinental tournament. Corinthians wins $1 million as runner-up.

Arsenal, who qualified for the tournament as UEFA Champions League winners, secured a place in the final with a 6-0 victory over Moroccan side ASFAR in the semi-final on Wednesday.

Smith, who also scored in the semi-final, opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Corinthians goalkeeper Leticia fired a Stina Blackstenius shot into Smith’s path.

Six minutes later, Corinthians equalized with a goal from Gabriela Zanotti which crossed the line before Arsenal goalkeeper Anneke Borbe could reach it. Zanotti, 40, also scored in Corinthians’ 1-0 semi-final win over Gotham FC.

Lotte Wubben-Moy scored the go-ahead goal in the 58th with a header from an Emily Fox cross as FIFA President Gianni Infantino looked on.

It appeared Arsenal had the trophy in hand, but video review awarded Corinthians a penalty after Katie McCabe was fouled in the box in stoppage time, sending the vocal group of Corinthians fans at the match into a frenzy.

Foord put Arsenal back in front with the winning goal in the 104th minute. Arsenal’s Borbe was involved in a collision in front of his goal in the dying moments of the match and had to be stretchered off due to an injury.

Gotham won the third place match 4-0 against ASFAR earlier today. Khyah Harper, who started after coming on as a substitute in the semifinals, opened the scoring with a goal in the 27th minute.

Gotham doubled the lead with a goal from Savannah McCaskill and Jaedyn Shaw converted a penalty kick to make it 3-0 before halftime. Midge Purce added the final goal in the 48th.

Gotham qualified by winning the inaugural CONCACAF Champions Cup with a 1-0 victory over the Mexican Tigers last May. Corinthians won the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores Femenina to move up a place and ASFAR won the CAF Champions League.
