The head coach of London's Chelsea team, Enzo Mareska, commented after the match against Benfica in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match ended with a score of 4:1 in favor of Chelsea. Despite the result, it should be noted that the game was not easy for all participants.
In the 86th minute, the referee stopped the game due to lightning and thunder, and this break lasted nearly two hours. After resuming the game, Benfica equalized the score, with Angel di Maria converting a penalty kick.
The Londoners considered this decision to be incorrect. In extra time, the Lisbon team was reduced in numbers and conceded three goals to Chelsea in the second extra period. In a post-match interview, Mareska stated that instead of criticizing the referee's work, it is sometimes better to keep opinions to oneself.
After the match, Chelsea will face the Brazilian team Palmeiras in the quarter-finals. This game is highly anticipated, as both teams are considered strong and competitive.
Such matches within the framework of the Club World Cup generate great interest among football fans.
