Chelsea vs LAFC LIVE: Club World Cup result, match stream and latest updates today | OneFootball

Chelsea got their Club World Cup campaign off to a winning start against Los Angeles FC in Atlanta on Monday. The Blues went to the summit of Group D after a 2-0 victory over Major League Soccer (MLS) opponents who only earned their spot at the inaugural expanded 32-team summer tournament at the beginning of the month with a tense play-off victory over Club America in extra time, following Club Leon’s failed appeal against their removal by FIFA.

Pedro Neto was assisted by Nicolas Jackson to find the breakthrough for Chelsea after a dominant first-half display, though the game opened up significantly thereafter, with Robert Sanchez making a couple of important saves to thwart Denis Bouanga before £30million signing Liam Delap came off the bench to assist Enzo Fernandez’s important late goal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where a disappointing crowd of just over 22,000 people watched the game in a venue with a capacity of 71,000.
