Chelsea beat Palmeiras 2-1 in Philadelphia on Friday as the Blues sealed their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals thanks to a late winner.

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.

It's a rematch of the 2022 Club World Cup final as Chelsea and Palmeiras clash in Philadelphia on the Fourth of July. The knockouts of this tournament have become quite unpredictable with Al Hilal and Fluminense toppling UEFA opposition to get here and Chelsea will look to avoid becoming the latest European side to crash out of the tournament.
