Chelsea’s FIFA CWC Journey Continues
Enzo Maresca’s men managed to advance into the next round of the FIFA CWC after ending their group stage with a convincing victory. Facing ES Tunis in a do-or-die game, Chelsea put on a solid performance straight from kick-off.
Despite the Tunisian-based outfit’s strong resistance, Chelsea finally got the breakthrough before half-time, with goals from Tosin Adarabioyo and Delap. Having a two-goal lead gave the Blues a comfortable feel as they navigated the second period in such a professional manner.
Maresca’s men eventually completed their victory with a third goal, scored by Tyrique George in stoppage time. That victory ensured Chelsea a spot in the knockout round, where they will be meeting Portuguese outfit Benfica.
Accompanying The Blues from their group is Flamengo, who beat the London outfit 3-1 in their previous matchup.
