The world champions were unable to get the better of Qarabag, an Azerbaijani scarecrow with unsuspected resources. This Wednesday on behalf of the 4e act of the C1, Chelsea had to settle for a draw in Baku (2-2).
Estevao (16e) and Garnacho (53e) scored for the Blues but their hosts found the fault through Andrade (29e) and Jankovic (39e on penalty) in the first period. A parity result which prevents the London club, 10eto invite themselves into the Top 8 directly qualifying for the round of 16. Qarabag pointing on his side at 12e rank with the same number of units on the counter.
At the same time, Pafos caused a sensation by dominating Villarreal (1-0). This on a goal from Luckassen after returning from the locker room (47e). This is the first victory in the history of the Cypriot club in the Champions League. And a snub for a La Liga team which has only one point in four tricks played.
