Enzo Fernandez assist vs FC Noah

Enzo Fernandez and Chelsea had a brilliant start to their third game in the UEFA Conference League as they took a commanding 6-0 lead at half-time against FC Noah. Three of those goals were assisted by 2022 World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez, who is also the captain for today’s game. Joao Felix would be eyeing his first hat-trick in a Chelsea shirt when the second half begins at Stamford Bridge.

Tosin Adarabioyo found plenty of space to put the ball into FC Noah's net with his initial strike as a Blues player after Chelsea skipper Enzo Fernández took a fantastic corner kick. Tosin's goal was nearly identical, but Chelsea skipper Enzo Fernández took another excellent corner kick to give the Blues the advantage. This time, however, the winner is Axel Disasi. Chelsea appeared to be unstoppable offensively as Enzo gave Joao Felix his third assist of the evening.

How have Chelsea and FC Noah fared so far in the competition?

Chelsea earned the highest possible UEFA coefficient among the 36 teams that advanced to the UEFA Conference League's league stage. FC Noah, tonight's opponents, had the lowest score. With their excellent progression through the four phases of qualification matches to reach the league stage of the competition (which includes a victory over AEK Athens), they have already improved for the next time UEFA counts all of that.

Prior to their game against FC Noah, former Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca said that, “Everyone against us wants the game. We need to be ready tactically but also mentally. [In their domestic league] Noah play different shapes so we don’t know how they will come here and play. We try to be ready. In today’s football, you can find a good player, a good squad, a good manager everywhere, not only in the most important league in Europe or the world. In this kind of country, you can find important things and for sure, they have some good players also.”
