The game, held at Underhill in Barnet on July 14, 2007, saw the Gunners prepare for the upcoming 2007-08 season with a confident and dominant performance. Merida, then a promising young talent in Arsenal's academy, seized the opportunity to impress in front of the watching crowd. Dressed in the iconic red and white stripes, he skillfully controlled the midfield, creating chances and dictating the tempo of the game.
