Russian Federation's Viktor Lebedev won gold after beating Germany's Marcel Ewald in the men's 57kg freestyle wrestling final at the European Games this afternoon.
Two-time world champion Viktor Lebedev proved too strong for Ewald at the Heydar Aliyev Arena, winning the bout 3-0 on points.
Lebedev reached the final after a semi-final victory over Yashar Aliyev, while Ewald beat Islam Islamaj after the original semi-finalists were disqualified for "brutality during the match".
Both losing semi-finalists failed to win bronze, as Alexandru Chirtoaca won Moldova's second medal in Baku after defeating Islamaj 4-0, while Turkey's Sezar Akgul beat Aliyev 5-0.
Russia's gold is their 15th overall, leaving them comfortable at the top of the medals table.
