Good evening and welcome to live coverage of Flamengo vs Chelsea from the Fifa Club World Cup, as Enzo Maresca’s side look to make it two wins from two in the United States. Chelsea kicked off their tournament with a 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC on Tuesday, with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez’s second-half strike was set up by fellow substitute Liam Delap, making his debut for the west London side following his £30m transfer from Ipswich Town earlier this month. The victory was Chelsea’s eighth in nine games, having finished the regular season in strong form, finishing fourth in the Premier League and winning the Uefa Conference League.
Chelsea’s winning start in Group D of the revamped and newly expanded tournament was somewhat overshadowed by the empty seats in Atlanta, with the official attendance announced as 22,137 despite Mercedes-Benz Stadium being capable of holding over 70,000.
