Chelsea defeats Palmeiras to reach Club World Cup semis: Highlights

by admin July 5, 2025
July 5, 2025

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup was expanded in part to create matchups exactly like the quarterfinal between English power Chelsea and one of Brazil’s biggest clubs, Palmeiras.

Cole Palmer helped Chelsea get the best of Palmeiras at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Friday, July 4 to advance to the semifinals. Malo Gusto also played a role in the victory, having his shot bounce off the opposing goalkeeper, Weverton Pereira da Silva, to create an own goal situation and take the 2-1 lead.

Estêvão Willian was named as the Superior Player of the Match in the loss. Estêvão scored his first Club World Cup goal, leveling the score for Palmeiras in the second half at 1.

Estêvão, the 18-year-old player from Brazil, is expected to join Chelsea later this month now that Palmeiras has been eliminated from the tournament.

‘You can see he’s a top player,’ Palmer said about his future teammate on the DAZN broadcast after the game. ‘We’re excited for him to join us.’

Chelsea will play Fluminense in the semifinal on Tuesday, July 8 at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Matheus Martinelli and Hércules helped Fluminense earn a 2-1 victory over Al-Hilal at Camping World Stadium in Orlando in the other quarterfinal on Friday, July 4.

Final: Chelsea 2, Palmeiras 1

Malo Gusto helps Chelsea retake the lead in the 83rd minute. Gusto’s kick hit Palmeiras goalkeeper Weverton Pereira da Silva before going into the goal. Gusto was not officially credited with the score as it was deemed an own goal against Giay.
