Sander Alamaa was praised by Chelsea’s commentator after scoring both goals in Flora’s 2-2 draw with the London side in the UEFA Youth League. The midfielder opened the scoring in the fourth minute, cutting inside after Patrick Pihlak sent him down the left and curling a finish towards the far post.

“Look at the way he cuts in – that is so elegant,” the commentator said. “And he has a shot on him, too.” Chelsea turned the match around before half-time through Jashayde Greenwood and Chizaram Ezenwata, both of whom were also complimented for their finishes.

Karel Isok won Flora’s 60th-minute penalty, which Alamaa converted, sending goalkeeper Freddy Bernal the wrong way. “Very calm and assured,” the commentator said. “He has been excellent all afternoon.”

The second leg of the UEFA Youth League second qualifying round will be played in London on Wednesday, 4 November, with kick-off at 15:00 Estonian time. Soccernet TV will show the match live.
