A very small number of matches remained until we learn the winner of the first club championship in his updated format for 32 teams. Someone liked this tournament, someone – no, but in a situation where there are only a few steps to the unprecedented prize, it is unlikely

Brazilian Fluminens and London Chelsea-so much so, because everyone talks about the “lightness” of the left half of the Playoff net in the context of the path to the finals, but few people mention that Renato Gausho and Enzo Maressky’s teams overcame this shade with excessive efforts. In the context of “red-green”, it was probably more often observed, because in the FLU group, which was subsequently marked in the playoffs in a very restrained football in the attack and sometimes too tight defense.

But the Brazilians in the case of the semifinal would definitely not become, and did not require too much and awaited them. Another thing is that this time the gates of Fabio could not be preserved intact, although Chelsea’s football in the attack was not too persistent to accurately call. The Maressky team eventually took its more at the expense of a cold head and a well -balanced approach to creating goal moments.

Because they released FLU from the defense “pensioners” only when they opened the score themselves. It was possible to do it with the help of a very well-faded blow from the newcomer Juan Pedro, who began his career as a part of “red-green”, but in 18 minutes put them a shutter stroke just in the right nine. Accordingly, the first goal for the “blue” scored, but celebrate – in the stands are still no strangers.

Chelsea, probably, would like to continue methodically press on the rivals, but they began to wake up after the missed and almost played, when the unsuccessful actions of Sanchez at the exit from the gate almost led to a goal in response to the next attack, but Kukureli knocked out of the empty blow.

And there was a rather interesting moment with the potential penalty at the Londoners’ goal, who did not appoint the French arbitrator at the end of the half, because the ball hit the bowl during a shot from the left flank, but it was not considered for the “game” that “this hand” was not considered. The right of arbitrators, especially since we were also voiced justification during the match on the whole stadium.

After that, the game gradually moved to the second half, which began for FLU in fact as unsuccessfully as the first. It was not possible to approach someone else’s goal with a goal, but Pedro flew to the left flank of the counterattack under the 56 minutes to the left flank under the course, and then figured out in a penalty area with a mighty blow under the crossbar.

The chances of the Brazilian collective on success became scanty with two missing in the liability, and he did not eventually escape. Although attempts to attack in search of a ball of prestige at the end of the game were from them, they did not lead to success. In Chelsea, however, he appeared on the Jackson field, and wasted the next goal moment, so the newcomers of Juan Pedro and Liam Delap can win competition at a career as part of Blue. In the meantime, they look at the KCS-2025 KC finals against the French couple Saint-Germain or the Real Madrid.
