In the Metlife Stadium, a lively game develops between the Chelsea and Fluminense FC. Then a player has his big appearance twice.
Chelsea FC is the first final participant of the club World Cup in the USA. The Londoners won 2-0 (1-0) against Fluminensee from Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday afternoon and now meet the winner of the game between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the final on Sunday.
Chelsea attacker João Pedro for the match winner against his former club. In the 18th minute, the Brillant -playing Brazilian scored fantastically with a fine Schlenzer from around 20 meters. The 44-year-old Fluminense keeper Fabio was powerless. In the 56th minute, Chelsea’s new striker star put on the crossbar after a fine action with a massive shot.
After a short cheer, the shooter each excused his hands, after all, as a teenager, he wore the jersey of the club from Rio de Janeiro. At the age of 18, he moved from Fluminense to Europe. It was only his second assignment in the Chelsea jersey after the signing of Brighton & Hove Albion. 70 million euros were worth its services to Chelsea FC.
He had been substituted in the quarter -finals against Palmeiras. The double pack of Joao Pedro was also worth at least $ 30 million for Chelsea. Because the final participation brings so much prize money. With a World Cup triumph, the FIFA premium would even be $ 40 million.
The Conference League winner from England with the former Leipzig Christopher Nkunku, who had a good header, was the deserved winner. Chelsea once needed luck when referee François Letexier from France took back a penalty after VAR intervention.
Defense player Trevoh Chebolah had crashed into the hand after a free kick. But it was “not an unnatural arm position”, was the announcement of LETEXIER in the personal view of the video images in the stadium.
