Chelsea: No shots, no tackles for 30 minutes, out-run in 34 consecutive matches
Chelsea faces another defeat, losing 3-0 to Brighton, with no shots for 30 minutes.

Cibola upset No. 1-ranked Piedra Vista with a 10-7 comeback victory, marking their second consecutive win over a top-ranked team. This win adds to the unpredictability of the prep baseball season.
Mentioned in this story
The penultimate Tuesday of prep baseballâs regular season created slightly more anarchy than clarity.
Grants in District 5-4A avoided some of this tumult with a huge road win at St. Pius. Hope Christian earned an important victory over 6-4A-leading Albuquerque Academy. District 1-5A continues to be a headache to predict, and Tuesdayâs results further fueled the confusion.
Cibolaâs 10-7, come-from-behind upset win over No. 1-ranked Piedra Vista on the West Side was the Cougarsâ second consecutive victory over Class 5Aâs top-ranked team. They beat the previous No. 1, Cleveland, last Friday.
All this is even more surprising when you consider that these are Cibolaâs only two league wins.
âIt has been ⊠a rollercoaster of a season,â Cougars coach Robert Puentes said. âWe knew we had a good team, I just donât think we lived up to our expectations to this point.â
The unpredictable Cougars â who need all the wins they can stack just to ensure they qualify for the playoffs â started Tuesday tied for last place in the district. But theyâve shown flashes of good baseball; this team also has nondistrict victories over fourth-ranked La Cueva and sixth-ranked Eldorado this season.
Senior catcher Isaac Brito belted a pair of two-run home runs for Cibola on Tuesday.
Cibola (10-13, 2-5 in 1-5A) trailed 5-1 headed to the bottom of the fourth. It later scored three in the bottom of the fifth, sparked by Britoâs first homer which tied the Panthers (20-3, 5-2) at 5-all. The Cougars then scored five in the bottom of the sixth, highlighted by Tyler Wrightâs two-RBI double and Britoâs second bomb of the day, over the left-field fence.
Wright drove in three runs in Cibolaâs win.
âThat has been the discussion the last week and a half,â Puentes said, âthat we need to do something with these last five games. Thatâs the nightmare of our district. But in our situation, it also provides us with some golden opportunities. Weâll see if we can play our way in.â
Piedra Vistaâs loss allowed third-ranked Rio Rancho (19-4, 6-1) to take over solo first place in 1-5A. The Rams pounded Volcano Vista 18-3 in six innings on Tuesday.
Cleveland (21-2, 5-2) won big, 16-10 at Farmington on Tuesday. Anthony Del Angel hit a fourth-inning grand slam for the Storm who had 20 hits.
In 4A action Tuesday, No. 8-ranked Grants rolled into Albuquerque and beat No. 7 St. Pius 4-2, and the Pirates (15-8, 6-0), who have won 10 games in a row, all but clinched the District 5-4A title .
Senior Estevan Barela was outstanding for the Pirates, pitching a complete-game three-hitter; both the runs he gave up to the Sartans (11-12, 3-3) were unearned.
âHe pitched amazing,â Grants coach Mike Furbee said.
And he was clutch. St. Pius loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth in a game that was then 2-1 for Grants, and escaped having just given up one game-tying run on a double play.
Cibola won the game against Piedra Vista with a final score of 10-7.
Cibola has only two league wins this season, both against top-ranked teams.
The coach of Cibola's baseball team is Robert Puentes.
Cibola also defeated the previous No. 1-ranked team, Cleveland, last Friday.

The Pirates, whose lineup is comprised mostly of underclassmen (just two seniors), broke that 2-2 tie in the top of the sixth with a pair of runs.
The go-ahead run scored on a passed ball. Barela added an RBI single right on top of that to plate Zeth Villasana for a 4-2 lead.
âWe still do things to kind of hurt ourselves,â Furbee said of his young group, âbut weâre able to work through them and that is a huge part (of why weâve won 10 in a row).â
In another important 4A matchup Tuesday, fourth-ranked Albuquerque Academy had a chance to lock up the 6-4A title, but the Chargersâ 8-5 loss to No. 6-ranked Hope Christian will delay Academyâs plans.
âThat was important to us,â Huskies coach Fernando Salinas said. âWe had been up and down all season ⊠today was a good win for us, it really was.â
Academy (16-7, 5-1) led 5-2 in the third when Hope (17-6, 4-2) erupted for five runs.
Brandon Wiles delivered the key swing for the Huskies. Trailing 5-4, he lashed a triple to left, scoring a pair of runs, giving Hope the lead. He scored moments later on a sacrifice fly for a 7-5 edge.
The Huskies added an insurance run in the sixth. Hope is angling for a first-round home series for the upcoming 4A playoffs; the Huskies face a crucial matchup with third-place Valley (6-15, 3-2) on Friday, and the Vikings have already beaten Hope once, in a 10-inning game on April 7.
