Chelsea booked their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a commanding 2-0 win over Fluminense at MetLife Stadium. Joao Pedro, making his full debut, stole the spotlight against his former club with a brace — the first a curling top-corner strike and the second a powerful effort off the underside of the bar.
The Premier League side dominated possession and tempo, with relentless pressing and slick attacking moves. Fluminense had fleeting chances, including a near-miss from Hercules cleared off the line by Cucurella and a briefly awarded penalty that VAR rightly overturned.
Despite a few nervy moments — particularly when Moisés Caicedo went down injured late — Chelsea maintained control. With Maresca out of substitutions, Caicedo bravely played on to keep Chelsea at full strength.
Fluminense, though spirited, struggled to match Chelsea’s physicality and sharpness. Their attempts were either wide, overhit, or expertly neutralized by a composed Chelsea backline.
Substitutions on both sides added late energy, but the result was never in doubt. Chelsea now await the winner of Real Madrid vs PSG in the final, eyeing a historic Club World Cup title.
