Magical Gui hat-trick and Chelsea first with ‘6 out of 6’, Guimaraes and Fiorentina in 16

Chelsea hammered Shamrock Rovers by five goals, with Mark Gui scoring a first-half hat-trick, to complete the League Phase of the Conference League unbeaten while finishing top of the table.

On the other hand, Guimaraes drew 1-1 with Fiorentina and both secured their ticket to the last 16 of the competition, with the Portuguese finishing second in the rating and the violas third.

Chelsea v Shamrock Rovers 5-1:

The Londoners were very active in the first minutes of the match, putting a lot of pressure on the visitors. That pressing paid off in the 22nd minute, with Mark Gui capitalizing on Pauls’ error to slot home with the ball in the 22nd minute.

Of course, the joy of Maresca’s players did not last for Frolly, after a corner kick the ball ended up in Pum, who with a powerful shot equalized 1-1 in the 26th minute.

That goal worked like an electric shock for Chelsea, who upped the ante and never looked back. Gui took advantage of another mistake by the Shamrock defense who blindly turned to the keeper. The 18-year-old striker received the ball, passed Pauls and gave the Londoners the lead again in the 34th minute.

Dewsbury made it 3-1 for the “blues” in the 40th minute of the match, while in the 45+3′ Gui scored a hat-trick, giving his team a three-goal lead. Madueke produced a sweet cross, with the 18-year-old heading home a first-half hat-trick.

With the match effectively locked in the first half, all that was left was the icing on the cake. After a beautiful team effort by the English, the ball reached Koukoureya, who with a quality touch created space for himself and made an ideal creation, signing the 5-1 victory in the 58th minute.

Guimaraes – Fiorentina 1-1:

The game was balanced at the start of the match, with both teams weighing each other.

It was the Portuguese team who managed to take the lead, scoring in one of the two phases they created in the first half.

Specifically, in the 34th minute, Cesar passed to Gustavo Silva, who calmly executed from inside the area, making it 1-0.

In the second part, the “violas” made four changes before the completion of one hour of the match in order to change the wrong texts. Fiorentina failed to pose much of a threat, but Rolando Madragora’s goal in the 87th minute gave his team the equalizer.
