CHELSEA BEGIN CLUB WORLD CUP WITH WIN OVER LOS ANGELES FC

June 17, 2025

Chelsea kicked off their Club World Cup campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC in Group D

The Blues, who are the first Premier League side to feature in this year’s tournament, took the lead in the 34th minute after dominating much of the opening exchanges, with PEDRO NETO latching onto a long ball and took two sublime touches before firing into the bottom corner of HUGO LLORIS’ net.

The MLS side threatened to equalise after the break but lacked sharpness in the final third, while ENZO FERNÁNDEZ then settled the game with a neat finish in the 79th minute.

Chelsea’s next match will be against Flamengo on Friday, while LAFC will take on Esperance of Tunisia.
