The first semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup is underway between Chelsea and Fluminense. The English side struck early, but they were almost pegged back just as quickly.
Details: A lightning-fast Fluminense attack ended with a shot on Chelsea’s goal, and as the ball was about to cross the line, the Blues’ defender Marc Cucurella cleared it away at the last second, rescuing his team from conceding an equalizer.
Chelsea still clings to a one-goal advantage thanks to Joao Pedro’s debut strike.
Reminder: The second finalist will be decided in the other semi-final between Real Madrid and PSG. Former defender Marco Materazzi has already made his prediction on who will battle for the ultimate trophy next week.
