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.

João Pedro showed why he might be just the player Chelsea needed, sending the Blues to the Club World Cup final by scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Fluminense.

The Club World Cup quarter-finals continue today with Palmeiras and Chelsea facing off at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Palmeiras eliminated fellow Brazilian side Botafogo in the round of 16 to reach this stage, while Chelsea progressed from a chaotic weather-delayed match in Charlotte against Benfica.
