Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup journey continues as they grab a ticket to the final following an impressive win against Fluminense. The Blues’ new signing, Joao Pedro, was the hero as he scored both of his team’s goals in their 2-0 victory.
Joao Pedro the Hero in Chelsea’s Win Over Fluminense
Enzo Maresca’s side is now one step away from potentially lifting the Club World Cup trophy following their semifinal win over the Fluzao. Both teams were eager to get that early goal, as they immediately put on an aggressive effort since kick-off.
It was Chelsea that got the first breakthrough as they went one goal up after 18 minutes of play, thanks to their new signing, João Pedro. The Brazilian scored with a lovely curling shot from outside the box to give his side the lead.
Pedro didn’t celebrate his goal as he paid respect to Fluminese, which was his boyhood club where he started his footballing career. The former Brighton striker continued to put on a strong performance and eventually netted his second on 56 minute.
Chelsea’s second goal pretty much ended Fluminense’s resistance as they seemed to lose their confidence in getting back from two goals down. The Blues comfortably see the game through as they maintain their 2-0 advantage until the final whistle is blown.
