João Félix and Christopher Nkunku each scored twice in a sensational team effort, contributing to Chelsea’s impressive six-goal lead by halftime. Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Axel Disasi, and Mykhailo Mudryk added their names to the scoresheet, underscoring the depth of talent in Maresca’s squad. Chelsea’s relentless attack left FC Noah struggling to keep up from the first whistle, and by the final whistle, the Blues had etched an unforgettable night into the club’s history books.
The emphatic result eclipsed the previous Conference League record margin, which had stood at six goals since the competition’s inception in 2021. It also matched Chelsea’s second-largest win on record, second only to their 13-0 triumph over Jeunesse Hautcharage in 1971.
With this victory, Chelsea continued their flawless run in the group stage, securing nine points from three matches and firmly asserting themselves as a favorite in the competition. After the match, Maresca lauded his players’ focus and professionalism. “The players once again showed how professional and serious they are,” he said. “In games like this, it’s easy to relax, but we came to prove our intent, and that’s exactly what the team delivered.”
The opening goal arrived in the 12th minute, with Adarabioyo leaping high to head in from a corner. Just a minute later, Guiu capitalized on a defensive error, calmly slotting home to double the lead. Chelsea’s set-piece prowess continued with Disasi’s header on the 18-minute mark, and Félix soon followed, slipping a shot beneath the Noah keeper after a perfectly threaded pass from Enzo Fernández.
Mudryk’s curling strike into the top corner six minutes before the break further energized the crowd, and Félix quickly struck again, marking the sixth goal before halftime. In the second half, Chelsea eased their pace but still found time for two more goals. Nkunku notched a rebound in the 69th minute and later converted a penalty to complete his brace, rounding off a night to remember for Chelsea fans and setting the tone for an exciting European campaign.
