Palmeiras v Chelsea: Club World Cup quarter-final – live updates | Club World Cup 2025
Key events
Half-time: Palmeiras 0-1 Chelsea
Half ends with Delap hooking in Faghani. Maybe we should take a look at the Chelsea options on the bench.
45 min +2: The referee, moreover, is Alireza Faghani, who is from Iran but has moved to Australia.
He gives a Yellow to DelapWhich means that the semi-final would miss. He supports, but maybe he shouldn’t slam opposing players when the ball is far away. A terrible judgment on the part of the Chelsea man, and not for the first time in this competition.
45 min: Giay and Cucurella fight for the ball, and Giay responds with the lightest keys to the chest of Cucurella. The Chelsea defender falls like a bowling pin. The referee is not impressed.
44 min: Ok, we will take the 10 of Palmer after a petulant fault in the midfield. This represents eight mistakes for each team, most of them rather stupid and useless.
42 min: luck for Palmeiras As a well -placed cross finds the wrapped Vanderlan, whose head slaps in the grass and towards the hands of Sanchez. The Brazilian side is crawling in this competition.
41 min: yellow at Chelsea Defender GustoWho is late in a challenge and grabs Micael’s leg. No argument there.
40 min: Palmer, deep down, pushes back to lose a defender like Saquon Barkley on this same land. People who assess players in the games rarely give a 10, but Palmer would be in the running for one for the moment.
38 min: And devil?! Estêvée retains a Cucurella challenge while he goes from right to left, then plays on the left side, then his cross finds two Palmeiras players, who both have a touch on the ball.
They were both offside, so it’s academic, but it is one of the foreign sequences of this tournament.
36 min: Enzo Fernandez gives the future teammate is a good blow in the legs. His arrival in Chelsea will be interesting.
34 min: Palmer fights on several defenders at the top of the penalty zone and manages to press the unbeaned Nkunku ball, which has time and space but sends its orbit shot.
33 min: Another corner for Chelsea while Palmer Fouette in a dangerous cross. Superb game for Palmer so far, even apart from its well -taken goal.
32 min: Justin Kavanagh writes: The same goes for the Eastern approach to Eastern tonight “If you can’t beat them, join them”? Or is it a case of “if you don’t want to join them yet, beat them”?
Probably no more cases “if you cannot earn as much money without them, join them”.
30 min: Fuchs made angry gestures to Delap after the Chelsea man devoid Allan. Delap is not doing many friends here tonight.
29 min: The possession of Chelsea is somewhere in the 70%range, which is normally not a reliable indicator from who obtains the top of the game but happens to be a fairly good instantaneous of the game at the moment.
27 min: Weverton, goalkeeper outside the Palmeiras competition, sat down and now attracts the attention of trainers. The break in action turns into an unofficial rupture of cooling.
24 min: Chelsea won the ball after a very brief possession of Palmeiras, and Neto again beats a defender or three on the area of the area from the right flank. His cross barely missed three teammates lined up but marked at close range.
21 min: Apparently, a defective game ball, that I believe that this is not the first time that this has happened in this tournament.
20 min: Two shots for Chelsea in two minutes. Cucurella takes on a speculative shot from the outside of the area around the corner, but it is easily manipulated. Enzo Fernandez is next to 20 meters but puts it directly in the secure hands of Weverton.
18 min: Corner for Chelsea while Palmeiras is struggling to face a crossing of Palmer, which takes place here.
He has been part of the first Chelsea team in recent years now, and when I hear “Cole Palmer” in an English accent, I hear him as “Carl Palmer”, drummer of Elp and Asia.
Goooal! Palmeiras 0-1 Chelsea (Palmer 16)
Simple but effective. Palmer turns to receive a pass, a bad foot from a defender and slid the ball into the net of the area.
14 min: The temperatures evolve a little while Liam Delap gives Augustin Giay a little push, without any player near the ball. Giay naturally opposes.
11 min: The abundant supporters of Palmeiras record their disapproval after Chelsea took a free kick. Chelsea maintains possession, and Gusto descends to the goal line for a cross in Enzo Fernandez, which puts a wide pressure under pressure.
10 min: Another promising possession of Chelsea, but Estêvão goes against the future Cucurella teammate and won a corner.
7 min: Vitor Roque transports the ball to about 50 meters in half Chelsea but finds no crossing at the center. They still maintain possession until Cucurella won a 50-50 ball with Allan. Palmeiras wants a whistle, but Cucurella was simply the first in the ball, and Allan slammed in his leg and obtained the worst.
6 min: Palmeiras is not really pressing, so Chelsea overturns the ball for a while. They finally find a seam, but it is closed quickly.
5 min: shoot for ChelseaWhile Cole Palmer pierces a shot just outside the area that forces Weverton to dive and hit him in a corner.
3 min: A booming race in the penalty zone for Pedro Neto, perhaps reassuring anyone who will indeed be able to play despite the mourning for his close friend Diogo Jota.
1 min: Palmeiras quickly wins a corner. (Ignore my previous comment that Chelsea won it. I am not yet in the DA zone.)
Moment of silence
Does anyone wonder why most of the world makes a minute of silence while the United States only moment?
In any case, the teams stand on the central circle and stop to remember Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
And we left …
Late change
Reece James is excluded with an injury. Enter Brazilian Andrey Santos.
What is the weather?
Currently, 79 degrees in Philadelphia, with a “feeling” of 80. It should be fine.
Hi, send an email to people!
Peter Oh promises to keep his messages without references to the favorite fictitious son of Philadelphia, Rocky Balboa: “Palmeiras was founded by Italian immigrants and Philadelphia also has a long history of Italian immigration. Philly! I mean Palmeiras.
Justin Kavanagh notes the lack of English players with the English club: “The rallying cry of Abel Ferreira for the local fans of Philly to support the Brazilians against the English was a bit of stubbornness, with echoes of Diego Maradona for the Neopolitans to rejoice from Italy to the 1990 World Cup. 11, one of which was born in Africa! »»
What team is most costing?
Let’s say that you are starting a club and you have a few billion euros lying around. How much would you cost you to buy all the players of one of these clubs, according to TransferMarkt?
Palmeiras goes to 256.6 million euros.
Chelsea? 1.2 billion euros. But maybe you can enjoy their special summer price.
And they always continue to buy, including a transfer between the teams of tonight, taking the most expensive player in Palmeiras (transfer value: 60M euros …

Preamble
One side of the semi-finals of the Club World Cup will be all-European. Will the other part be entirely Brazilian?
Fluminense reserved his place in the semi-finals with a 2-1 victory against al-Hilal, the Saudi team which eliminated Manchester City in the game of the century (so far). Can Palmeiras join them and create the ultimate confrontation of Rio against São Paulo (alias Carioca against Paulista)? Or will this London Upstart club called Chelsea eliminate them?
Chelsea will play off -scope distractions – a heavy fine of UEFA and the tragic death of Diogo Jota de Liverpool, whose close friend Pedro Neto could miss this match. (Update: Pedro Neto is in the departure XI)
This quarter-final is a revenge of the 2021 final, which Chelsea has won 2-1 in more time. Chelsea that year presented a young American named Christian Pulisic. We understand that he is no longer there.
Beautiful will be here shortly. In the meantime, here is the last dispatch from Jacob Steinberg from Philadelphia.
