UYL report: Chelsea 4 Dinamo 0

02 NOV 2022


Our young Blues saw off Dinamo Zagreb and scuppered their chances of
qualification after an emphatic victory at Cobham.

It was a fine victory from Ed Brand's team as they saw off Dinamo in
impressive fashion on Wednesday afternoon. Goals from Leo Castledine,
Louis Flower, Frankie Runham and an own goal gave us a deserved victory.


Our first win and clean sheet of the group came in our final game of the
competition as we had been knocked out already. Nonetheless, Brand got the
performance that he wanted from his team before the game, especially
considering that our opponents could have still qualified for the next
round with a win.


Castledine scored a fine free-kick just before half time which set the
tone for the performance after the break. After total domination for most
of the second period, Flower came on and finished a lovely team move which
involved sharp passing and good skill.


The third came through Jimi Tauriainen's free-kick which forced an own
goal from Ivan Cvetko as the captain on the day put in a dangerous ball
which Cvetko turned into his own net. Finally, our fourth saw first-year
scholar Josh Acheampong and 15-year-old Frankie Runham combine, and the
latter finished expertly to add further gloss to the scoreline.


Max Merrick also made a couple of quality saves which ensured the clean
sheet as our opponents did have some good chances.

Max Merrick was in fine form as he made a number of key saves to ensure
that we kept a clean sheet


== Team news ==


Brand selected a strong side as there were a number of regulars in the
team who featured once again. Acheampong and Kiano Dyer were put in from
the start after his return from international duty, while Donnell McNeilly
was handed a start following his goal and good performance for the
Under-18s on the weekend against West Brom.


It was a very quiet half as both teams moved the ball nicely but in terms
of possession, we edged it territorially without giving the goalkeeper
anything to do.


Merrick made a good save after a fine run and shot from Gabrijel Rukavina.
That was the only chance that the first period had to offer from both
sides until the 40th minute.


== Sensational free-kick ==


Lewis Hall won a free-kick on the edge of the box after hurdling a few
challenges prior and up stepped Castledine, who arrowed a dead ball into
the top corner of the net far beyond Luka Prslja's reach.

Leo Castledine has left his mark on this competition as he exits as our
top goalscorer on four goals


A miscued header from Maro Katinic almost caught the keeper out and scored
a freak own goal but fortunately for Dinamo, Prslja was in the right place
to tip it over.


== Complete control ==


We should have doubled our lead early in the second though as a free-kick
delivered in by Tauriainen found Acheampong at the back post, but the
defender miscued his chance.


We did not have to wait too long though for the second as we remained in
complete control of the contest. Second-half substitute Malik Mothersille
started the attack as he found Castledine, who neatly laid it off to Zak
Sturge sprinting down the wing. The left-back delivered for Flower, who
was in the right place at the right time to tap into the net.


The lead was extended, underlining further the control and dominance that
our young Blues had in the game. Tauriainen's wicked delivery from a
free-kick went in off of Cvetko, who could do little to sort his feet out.

Dinamo defenders could do little to deal with Jimi Tauriainen's free-kick


We almost scored a fourth as Mothersille and Flower combined, the latter
trying to find the near post but it was saved by the goalkeeper. Both
substitutes caused havoc when they came on.


Acheampong was next to try his luck as he rifled a left-footed effort
towards goal which had to be pushed over by the goalkeeper as it was
headed for the top corner.


Dinamo very nearly pulled a goal back as their own substitute Culjak was
in acres of space to finish after Merrick could only parry a shot from
distance by Cvetko but the attacker hit the post from five yards out.


Flower could have had a second as he was found in the box by Sturge, but
the striker could not adjust.


== Maiden goal ==


Another substitute got his name on the scoresheet, and it was 15-year-old
Runham who finished fantastically after a fine through ball from
Acheampong.


This was a great showing from our young Blues, who bow out of the
competition with our heads held high with a 4-0 victory.
