9:59pm, 5 July 2025【Football】

In the second game of the Club World Cup quarter-finals, Premier League powerhouse Chelsea fought against South American giant Palmeiras. Throughout the game, the strong Chelsea took the initiative, and Palmeiras was not willing to be outdone and continued to create a threat to score in the second half. Palmer was the first to break the deadlock, and Estewan scored a magical 0-degree angle. Jay's own goal in the last moment made Chelsea pass the thrilling 2:1, becoming the second team to advance to the semi-finals.

First half: The Brazilian League team was passive in full swing, and Palmer scored a wonderful goal!

From the first minute of the game, the powerful Chelsea launched a fierce offensive, and the two sides continued to press on, coupled with the interweaving of the midfield, firmly occupying the initiative in the offense. In the 16th minute, the deadlock of the game was broken, and Chaloba passed directly to the front of the penalty area. Palmer got the ball and scored too many people, and he scored with a strong shot, 1:0! Chelsea took the lead with a fierce attack.

Then, Chelsea still maintained its absolute advantage on the offensive end, and Palmeiras could only plunge into the fence and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. In the 34th minute, Chelsea made wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt. Palmer attracted the defensive attention of four or five players by himself. Nkunku was a wonderful pass in the open space, but when he faced the goal and was unpredictable, Nkunku's shot was outrageously higher!

In the 41st minute, Palmeiras intercepted the ball and counterattacked. Alan from the right side passed to the back point, and Wanderland, who followed, headed the ball from a close distance, was bravely resolved by the goalkeeper! This is Palmeiras' closest chance to score. At the end of the half game, Chelsea temporarily led by one goal.

Halftime summary

There is no doubt that Chelsea must firmly gain an absolute advantage in the entire first half, whether it is paper strength or performance on the court.

The fulcrum support of big center Drapp, Palmer's dispatch, Enzo's back and forth interspersed, etc., connect most of the tactical changes on Chelsea's offensive end. The reason why Palmeiras is passive is that he cannot defend against key people in addition to his strength. Although everyone has realized his weakness, he is desperate that he can never find a good solution, especially the position of the midfielder, which is almost useless.

In addition to the technical and tactical aspects, the two teams have many physical confrontations, and there are many small movements, which have caused conflicts between physical and verbal ties several times. The referee Fagani showed several yellow cards to warn him. Although Drapp performed bravely, he received a yellow card due to his emotional venting. If Chelsea can advance to the semi-finals, Drapp will automatically suspend the game.

Second half: 18-year-old genius attacked, Chelsea won by an own goal

Back in the first half, Palmeiras finally had a decent offensive, and the offensive end was constantly suppressed. In the 53rd minute, Estewan defended the penalty area and shot a fairy ball with a near 0-degree angle. The ball hit the upper corner and bounced into the goal, 1:1! This scoring made goalkeeper Sanchez and defensive player Colewell feel incredible. Chelsea quickly made substitution adjustments, João Pedro and Maduaikepi made their debut, the competition between the two teams has reached a fierce momentum, and the offense and defense conversion has been further improved.

In the 71st minute, Mauricio passed the penalty area, and Colewell tried his best to block Rock, tackled the ball out of the baseline, and Chelsea escaped! Immediately afterwards, Maduaike took the ball and broke through the penalty area, and was blocked by the defensive player. While the referee called a foul, he gave Chelsea a very good positioning ball, and Palmer's shot was blocked by a wall. In the 83rd minute, an unexpected scene appeared. Gustto shot with a pass and shot, and hit the defensive player Jay bounced out of the goal, 2:1! Chelsea took the lead again. In stoppage time, Maduaike shot and bounced out of the post. Finally, the game ended, and Palmeiras lost regretfully.

Summary after the game

Although Palmeiras finally lost and was eliminated, the team has tried their best to show their due level and won everyone's applause.

Secondly, congratulations to Chelsea for advancing to the semi-finals. Although there are flaws in this game, the overall performance is excellent. Palmer broke the ball drought and performed well throughout the game, helping the team win. What's even more gratifying is that Palmeiras' 18-year-old talented young player Estewan has joined Chelsea, but he broke through his goal before his new club. This phenomenon is rare! However, Chelsea fans were quite happy. After all, the team's promotion was the most important, and they were successfully "inspected" in advance.

Although Chelsea has advanced to the semi-finals, because Colewell and Drapp both received yellow cards in this game, they missed the semi-finals after the cumulative period! These two key positions in the first and the last have left a lot of trouble for Maresca's deployment. Chelsea will face Frumenense in the semi-finals.
