Chelsea fulfilled the right in front of Los Angeles FC and with a nice one of Pedro Neto and the judgment of Enzo Fernández resulted in his premiere in this FIFA Club World Cup (2-0).
More than two weeks after lifting the league league in Breslavia against Real Betis, the 'blues' returned to action and won without much brightness to the MLS set, a league that has not added a single triumph in the two tournament days. Inter Miami tied to zero, the Seattle Sounders lost and Los Angeles FC fell on Monday, showing the world the distance between the US competition and the rest.
In Atlanta, in a Mercedes Benz Stadium touching the void, with hundreds of free seats in the stands, Chelsea at least appeared to take the tournament seriously and went out to bite his rivals. With an especially active school, those of Enzo Maresca created enough occasions to advance, if not for the warm aim of Noni Madueke, a classic in terms of opportunities failed in the Premier League.
It had to be net, another that does not stand out for its effectiveness, which will have one of the best plays of what is going on tournament. He received a long -term pass from Nico Jackson inside the area, threw a defense with a threat with his right hand and beat the goalkeeper with the left -handed.
The goal itself did not justify the match, but it was a good step, the problem was the second half.
Chelsea, perhaps due to the more than 30 degrees and the humidity of 45 % in Atlanta, began to sleep and the Americans touched the tie in a deviant shot of Ordaz and in a hand in hand of Bouanga that deactivated Robert Sánchez.
They even threw the Americans of the former law, with Olivier Giroud, who was encouraged with a shot from 25 meters that did not march away from the crossbar.
Those of Maresca played with fire and could burn, but Enzo Fernández, who is touched by the goal wand and has generated more than twenty this season, took advantage of an assistance from the debutant Liam Deap and sentenced the game ten minutes from the end.
With this victory, Chelsea first puts itself from group D, waiting for Flamengo-Pesperanza from Tunisia, and can face with a little more tranquility the following duels, first against the Brazilians and then against the Tunisians.
