Chelsea is until the final of the club World Cup after beating Brazilian team fluminense, thanks to two goals from the new signing Joao Pedro.
The 23-year-old, who played completely for the first time, scored in the 18th minute. He curled the ball into the just after ex-Chelsea defender Thiago Silva did not succeed in erasing a cross of Pedro Neto.
Joao Pedro got his second goal in the 56th minute with a strong shot that hit the bar and went inside and secured the victory.
Chelsea earns another £ 22 million before reaching the final, which contributes to the £ 60 million that they have already made in the tournament. The striker has already started paying back the £ 55 million Chelsea paid Brighton for him last week.
Christopher Nunku had several opportunities to score more goals. On the other hand, Marc Cucurella knew a shot from De Lijn and had saved a shot replacement Everaldo.
Fluminense was unhappy after the referee changed his mind about giving a penalty for handball by Trevoh Chalobah, after a VAR review.
Chelsea was the stronger team after scoring the first, in a stadium in New Jersey that was almost full and very hot at 35 ° C.
The only care for Chelsea was a possible injury to Moises Caicedo, who hurt his ankle in the 93rd minute and had to leave the field before the end of the game.
Chelsea now plays Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday’s final in the same stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
