"Chelsea" reached the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, although some problems arose in the second half. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
"Palmeiras" equalized the score, but Malo Gusto corrected his previous mistakes and scored the winning goal for the "aristocrats." The publication "Euro-Football.Ru" highlighted situations that could have led to "Chelsea" being defeated.
In this match, three players from the London club were given subjective ratings. The maximum score is 10, and at the beginning of the game, the rating was 6.0.
Liam Delap was rated 3.0. He has not been able to show consistency so far and is often seen drifting out of the game as a central striker.
Delap touched the ball only ten times in 50 minutes on the field and made six passes. His low participation in the game should have been compensated by effective actions, but there was no shot or important pass from Delap.
He won only two out of eight duels. Additionally, he received a yellow card for playing aggressively at the end of the game and will miss the semi-final.
Christopher Nkunku received a score of 4.5. Although he did not play the full game, he missed one excellent opportunity and sparked an attack once.
Nkunku looked better compared to Delap, but in some situations, he made actions that harmed his team instead of benefiting them. Levi Colwill was rated 3.5.
He was specifically involved in a good play by Estevao, which led to a goal. He also failed to stop the opposing players' shots during Palmeiras' quick attacks.
Colwill received a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behavior at the end of the game and will also miss the semi-final. Author: Kirill Ivantsov
