Chelsea kicked off their FIFA Club World Cup journey with a confident 2-0 victory over LAFC in Atlanta, despite a sparse crowd at Mercedes Benz Stadium. The Blues showcased their tactical edge, blending new signings and seasoned players to control the game 🌟.
LAFC started strong but struggled to break Chelsea’s midfield dominance. Cole Palmer, rocking the iconic number 10 shirt, and Nicolas Jackson turned up the heat 🔥, with Jackson assisting Pedro Neto’s slick 34th-minute opener. LAFC’s Nathan Ordaz exited early due to injury, adding to their challenges.
Newcomer Liam Delap made an instant impact off the bench, setting up Enzo Fernandez’s late clincher. LAFC’s Denis Bouanga tested keeper Robert Sanchez, but Chelsea’s defense held firm 🛡️. A solid start for the Premier League giants as they eye the trophy! 🏆
