Chehovskie defeat Ademar

Chehovskie began the CL Main Round with a victory. The Russian team conserved the lead for the entire match, but Ademar were fighting until the last seconds. In fact, Spanish could even have taken a draw in the last minutes, but they did not take their chances and lost the game. Kahanm and Kovalev were the top scorers of the hosts with eight goals; Jakobsen and Laluska were the most prolific on the Leon side.

Chehovskie did not give any chance for Ademar in the first half. The Russians formed a very strong defence that Ademar were not able to open. Only Hungarian Balázs Laluska could score for Leon and the Russians even took a three-goal lead. Maximov’s team went to half time with two goals that was also due to a very unlucky Leon.

Chehovskie began the second half well and the game seemed to be decided. However, Maximov’s squad was tired and they were unable to score for ten minutes. The Spanish took their chance and closed the gap. The last minutes of the game brought a lot of excitement. Ademar had the opportunity to equalise with their last attack, but they made an attacking foul and failed to do so. Chehovskie won at the end to begin the Main Round with two points from a great game.
