Late Own Goal Sends Chelsea Past Palmeiras and Into Semifinals

Chelsea edged Palmeiras 2-1 on Friday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to advance to the semifinals of the Club World Cup.
Chelsea took the lead through Cole Palmer's 16th-minute goal and Palmeiras equalised in the 53rd minute with a strike by teenage winger Estevao.
The match was decided in the 83rd minute when Malo Gusto's attempted cross took a deflection off Palmeiras defender Bruno Fuchs and deceived goalkeeper Weverton, resulting in an own goal.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca called the match challenging and expressed his satisfaction with the victory and his new signing's goal, describing the evening as ideal.
Chelsea will take on Fluminense, led by their skipper and ex-Chelsea defender Thiago Silva, in the semi-finals on Tuesday in New York, with a spot in the final at stake.
