Aliabbas Rzazade (AZE) vs Horst Justin Junior Lehr (GER) - Final // Matteo Pellicone 2022

UNLOCK THE BEST WRESTLING CONTENT WITH UWW+ bit.ly/UWWplusyt!
Among all the stars that Azerbaijan brought to Rome, Aliabbas Rzazade (AZE) was one of the least experienced wrestlers. Before wrestling at this year's European Championships in March, he had only two other championships spanned over five years.
But by the end of the Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series event, Rzazade is one of the few on the national team that has confirmed his spot for the World Championships. He did so by winning the 57kg gold medal on Saturday.
Overall, Azerbaijan won four gold medals out of the eight contested on Saturday. Turkey, Puerto Rico, Slovakia and Ukraine had one champion each on the final day of the tournament.
Rzazade, one of the most attacking wrestlers active, switched to solid defense in the final against world bronze medalist Horst Lehr (GER) to claim a 5-3 win.
He opened the scoring with a stepout before Lehr was warned for fleeing during the second stepout which gave Rzazade a 3-0 lead. Lehr put that behind and scored a takedown just before the break to reduce the lead to 3-2.
Lehr, who won the U23 European Championships, tried the duck-under quite a few times but Rzazade was solid with his underhook to keep him at away. In desperation, Lehr attempted a big double-leg attack but Rzazade threw him off for a takedown. A late stepout did not matter much as he won 5-3.
During the day, he had a wild 17-8 quarterfinal win over Roberti Dingashvili (GEO) in which 21 points were scored in the first period itself. The two were unstoppable as both kept going at each other but Rzazade had a four which made the difference. In the second period, he scored an exposure and takedown to win 17-8.
In the semifinal, Kamil Kerymov (UKR) tried to stop him but his challenge was thwarted by Rzazade who finished the bout 10-0.
While he won the gold, Rzazade's tendency to give up points will be a point of worry for the coaches.
Rzazade won the U23 world title and almost became the European champion in a span of four months. But over the three tournaments (including the Matteo Pellicone), Rzazade gave up 48 points while scoring 105. While he won the title in Belgrade by a point, he lost the European final by the same margin.
