LIVESTREAM CEFL: Las Rozas Black Demons @ La Courneuve Flash, May 13, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am EDT)

French defending champions, the Flash de La Courneuve will host the brand new champions of Spain, the LG OLED Las Rozas Black Demons, on Saturday for the quarterfinals of the 2023 Central European Football League.
The Flash, who are France’s number one team, are coming off an 18-0 win over the Pionniers de Touraine in the French Elite D1 league last week, maintaining their unbeaten streak this season. In fact, La Courneuve have lost just one game over the last two years.
The Black Demons are another undefeated side who will be looking to carry their momentum from their Spanish Bowl victory over Osos Rivas two weeks ago.

The championship matchup saw the Black Demons take an intense battle from a 14-13 lead at halftime to a 22-13 victory.
An excellent QB-WR partnership of Theo Landers and Jorge García Vargas alongside a strong performance from the Las Rozas secondary separated the Black Demons from their competition and will likely be prominent factors in the CEFL matchup on Saturday.
Interceptions from Julio Aguado and Hugo Mínguez were the defining moments of the game for Las Rozas, putting to bed any hopes Osos Rivas had from making a comeback.
With both teams carrying prolonged win-streaks, there’ll be plenty on the line as they look to advance to the semi-finals.
