Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners against LAFC in their group stage game against Los Angeles FC with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandes.
Chelsea showed up in style against Los Angeles FC in their club World Cup game at Mercedes Benz Stadium. The English side used their European experience to dominate the game from start to finish.
The first 20 minutes was a cold affair between both sides but in the 34th minute, Chelsea were rewarded for all their struggles.
Chelsea had gotten a few chances in the game but failed to make them stick, however, in the 34 minute, Jackson played a sublime through ball in Neto’s direction and the Portuguese winger ran at full speed to latch onto the pass, cut inside to beat his nearest man before sliding the ball past Hugo Lloris in goal.
Chelsea added another in the closing stages of the second half through Enzo Fernandes to seal the game.
Delap, who came on as a substitute and had a fairly good game, dropped a cross into the path of fellow substitute Enzo Fernandes. Enzo controlled in front of goal and tapped it past Lloris to make it two to the Blues.
There were a few scares for Chelsea before the game ended but Sanchez was equal to the task. Chelsea ended the game 2-0 winners and with the needed three points to put them at the top of their group. They play Flamengo next on Friday.
