On Wednesday at 19:55 in the evening, two more matches of the third round of the UEFA Champions League were played.
The London team "Chelsea" achieved a very important victory in Amsterdam. After a substitution in the penalty area, Mitchy Batshuayi punished the "Ajax" team, which lost points for the first time this season.
Both teams showed attractive football from the very beginning of the match, although there were not many dangerous moments.
In the first half, "Ajax" sent the ball towards Kepa's goal, but after a few minutes, "Chelsea" could breathe a sigh of relief - Quincy Promes missed a goal by just a few centimeters.
In the second half, the game was quite balanced, but at the very end of the match, the "Blues" expanded their lead with two players who appeared as substitutes in the penalty area - in the 86th minute, M. Batshuayi scored a winning goal after a pass from Christian Pulisic.
"Chelsea" leveled the points with "Ajax", which had previously won two consecutive matches.
In other matches, "Leipzig" defeated St. Petersburg's "Zenit" in the second half and temporarily became the leader of the group.
