Liam Delap assisted Enzo Fernandez to open the scoring. |
New signing Liam Delap shone in his debut match, contributing greatly to the victory of the London team. On his first day in Chelsea's shirt after moving from Ipswich Town, Delap only needed less than 80 minutes to make his mark.
In the 79th minute, the new player who cost over 40 million USD made a cross for Enzo Fernandez to finish close to the goal, bringing the final goal to make it 2-0 for The Blues.
The deadlock was broken in the 34th minute by Pedro Neto, who delivered a brilliant performance. Receiving a precise long pass from Nicolas Jackson, Neto deftly dribbled past defender Ryan Hollingshead before unleashing a decisive shot past World Cup-winning goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Not only the goals, the match was also "heated" by tense disputes. At the end of the first half, Neto and Denis Bouanga almost got into a fight after a fierce collision, forcing the referee to quickly intervene. Before that, Chelsea had received 2 yellow cards in just the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, the two teams continuously created trouble. In the 54th minute, Chelsea almost scored when Neto's pass sent the ball to Jackson, but the striker's shot was cleared by Timothy Tillman right on the goal line.
Immediately after that, Bouanga had a clear chance to equalize for LAFC but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had a great reflex.
The win puts Chelsea top of Group D. They will face Flamengo in Philadelphia on Friday. LAFC will face ES Tunis in Nashville on the same day.
