Chelsea won the group D match against Los Angeles FC by 2-0. Pedro Neto had the first goal in the 34 minute and the lead was converted to two by Enzo Fernandez in the 74th min and it was the obvious that Chelsea can’t lose from that two goals lead. Flamengo and Chelsea both got a win in their first matches.
Chelsea's victory was expected. I thought we would see a better performance from Chelsea. However, Chelsea played carefully. Enzo Maresca would not want any player in the squad to face injury at this moment. That is why the Chelsea coach did not keep Nkunku in the starting XI.
Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory. The first goal was scored by Pedro Neto and the second goal was scored by Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea is in Group D. And the teams in this group, Los Angeles, Flamengo and Esperance, are not very strong opponents. So the road to qualifying for the next round is quite easy for Chelsea.
We expect Chelsea to get pass this stage. I don't think there are any use of Nkunku, I'm so much disappointed at his performance and I would have expected Joao Felix over him.
Both goals from yesterday was good for me and I must say Pedro Neto did well after seeing his poor finishing during the Nations League semi-finals. I hope he become more clinical and consistent. Our attacking teams needs more consistency if we really want to compete in every competition this season.
