Another simple way to compare array

Question

I want to compare two arrays, I want to know if there is an another way to do this more simply than I did?

This is my code:

$array1 = @()
$array1 += "TEST1 LAPTOP DSGF65"
$array1 += "TEST2 LAPTOP DJDJD"
$array1 += "TEST3 LAPTOP DJDJD"
$array1 += "TEST4 LAPTOP DJDJD"

$array2 = @()
$array2 += "xxxxx"
$array2 += "test3"
$array2 += "xxxxx"
$array2 += "xxxxx"
$array2 += "test1"
$array2 += "xxxxx"
$array2 += "xxxxx"
$array2 += "test2"
$array2 += "test4"

$z = 0

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array2.count; $i++)

{

  for ($j = 0; $j -lt $array1.count; $j++)

  {

    if ($array1[$j].Substring(0,5).ToLower() -eq $array2[$i])
    {
      $z++
    }
  }

}

Write-Host $z "elements"

The write-Host $z return 4

Thanks for your suggestions

I'd suggest:

$z = 0
$array2 |
 foreach {$z += ($array1 -match $_).count}

 $z
