Chelsea overcame Palmeiras 2-1 at Lincoln Financial Field to book a FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against Fluminense.

Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea

Palmeiras goal: Estevao (53) Chelsea goals: Cole Palmer (16), Weverton OG (83) A late Weverton own-goal saw Chelsea eke out victory over Palmeiras in their FIFA Club World Cup™ quarter-final at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Enzo Maresca’s side will now take on Fluminense FC at MetLife Stadium in New York New Jersey on Tuesday. Chelsea took a lead in at half-time thanks to Cole Palmer, who conned his way inside two opponents and stroked the ball into the bottom corner. Palmeiras responded in second-half infancy, Estevao thumping the ball in off the crossbar from the tightest of angles. The Blues found a fortuitous winner when Malo Gusto’s cross-shot was deflected by Agustin and went in off Weverton’s arm.
