Erin cuthbert scoring the only goal of the game just before half time to give chelsea a i nil lead going into the second leg next weekend. It was barcelonas first Home Defeat in a competitive fixture since 2019. The curse of the crucible lives on no first time winner of the World Snooker Championship has successfully defended their title and that run will extend for at least one more year as champion Lucas Brecel was beaten on a final Frame Decider by david gilbert. Brecel looked to be in control and was 6 3 up after the first session where he started with back to back centuries but the englishman fought back. Ranked 31st in the world, he produced a superb match clinching break of 65 to win 10 9 and go through to the second round. To be honest i am happy the season is over, it has been a long one, i enjoyed it but they have played really well. The last four frames he played so well to win, i did not expect to lose but i came to sheffield without expectations, because im not feeling so well, confidence is not that high, it is what it is, onto the next one
