Description

Chelsea faced Palmeiras in Philadelphia with a place in the semi-final at stake. The Blues entered as the only remaining English team, boosted by wins over Benfica and Flamengo, while missing Moisés Caicedo due to suspension. Palmeiras, unbeaten so far, topped their group, including a narrow extra-time win over Botafogo. The Paraguayan teen Estêvão—a future Chelsea player—added an emotionally charged subplot as he prepared to face his next club in what could be his final game for Palmeiras.

Chelsea had the edge in control and shot creation, with Pedro Neto in form and Cole Palmer expected to lead the attack. Palmeiras relied on technical midfielders like Raphael Veiga and homegrown talent to level the contest.

Chelsea took the lead in the 16th minute through Cole Palmer, capitalizing on early dominance. Estêvão struck back for Palmeiras in the 53rd minute with a stunning finish from a tight angle—earning Man of the Match honours despite the loss. The decisive moment came in the 83rd minute when Malo Gusto’s cross deflected off Giay and goalkeeper Weverton into his own net, sealing a nervy 2–1 win for Chelsea.

Chelsea outshot Palmeiras 19–7 and controlled possession, though Palmeiras showed grit and technical quality. The win sets up a semi-final showdown against Fluminense.
