Florida leads Arkansas 1-0 late in the first half at Razorback Field in Fayetteville, Ark.

ESPN's live scoreboard moved to 1-0 Florida at about the 43rd minute. The goal came after the 39th minute, the last time we checked with the match still scoreless. At the 20-minute mark, Arkansas' official account [posted](https://x.com/RazorbackSoccer/status/2111894974560133395?ref=gatorstandard.com) that there had been "a few early corners but nothing going in the opening minutes."

Sophomore defender **Katie Johnston** scored the goal. "Buried by Johnston," the official Gators Soccer account [posted](https://x.com/GatorsSoccer/status/2111900943444803760?ref=gatorstandard.com) at 3:23 p.m. ET with video of the finish. An assist had not been officially listed as of 3:25 p.m. ET.

*Update, 3:25 p.m. ET: This story has been updated to add the goal scorer, per @GatorsSoccer.*
