Pedro Neto opened the scoring with a stunner

The opening minutes between the English and the Americans were marked by notable parity. However, in the 33rd minute, Pedro Neto made his mark with a spectacular goal.

He broke away down his flank, cut inside, left his rival behind, and gave Lloris no chance. A true work of art in the role of a winger.

Enzo Fernández sealed the deal

In the second half, the match opened up completely. LAFC went in search of an equalizer, leaving themselves a bit exposed at the back, and Chelsea played on the counter.

Liam Delap, the brand new signing, strengthened Maresca's system and with a great assist set up Enzo to finish off the match.

Robert Sánchez stepped up when needed

They say that goalkeepers for big teams are made under the pressure of not having much to do, but when they are called upon, they cannot fail.

This applies to Robert Sánchez’s performance. Los Angeles had several clear chances, but their attacking play was intermittent. However, every time he was called upon, he responded brilliantly.
