Palmer shines

Immediately a problem for Chelsea, who in the heating loses his captain James, intended to replace the disqualified Caicedo in the median: in his place Andrey Santos. After the first quarter of an hour of study, with the Brazilians who break a couple of times with Vitor Roque, it goes up to the Palmer chair, very inspired. The English national team receives from Chalobah outside the area, controls, penetrates the closure of Micael and beats Weverton by broadening the left dish. In practice there is only one team on the pitch from this moment. He tries from outside Cucurella, the exterior Pedro Neto and Nkunku work, as well as Enzo Fernandez in his classic half -swing movement on the vertical axis. At half an hour Nkunku eats the doubling, shooting in the stands a plate around the left, still soaked in Palmer.
External is not enough

In the second half the Palmeiras starts better, who puts things right after 8 minutes with a crazy play of Estevao, who takes the ball on the right, makes Colwill out and from a secluded position he finds an impossible corner, throwing a land air that slams on the crossbar and bags behind an innocent Sanchez. The moves of Maresca are inserting the new purchase Joao Pedro for a skilbo Delap and Madueke for Nkunku. The machine is now beautiful, tactics reduced to a minimum with the elongated teams in search of the advantage. Ferreira also changes two of the three midfielders, inside Mauricio and Paulinho, technicians and fast to exploit a possible physical drop in blues. The move works, in half an hour only a closing of Colwill denies the Brazilian advantage over the combination of the two new entries. The impression is that the match can be decided at any moment. In fact, and chelsea in 38 ‘, thanks to a double and unfortunate deviation on Malo Gusto, before Giay and then of the goalkeeper Weverton, to which the own goal that allows Chelsea to go to the semifinals.
