BREAKING: Chelsea Advance To FIFA Club World Cup Semi Final After Beating Palmeiras—-Chelsea scored the go-ahead goal on Malo Gusto’s 83rd-minute cross that went in after a pair of deflections, beating Palmeiras 2-1 on Friday night for a spot in the Club World Cup semifinals.

Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead in the 16th minute but Estêvão, an 18-year-old who will transfer to Chelsea this summer, tied the score against his future club with an angled shot in the 53rd.

Gusto’s shot following a short corner kick appeared to deflect off defender Agustin Giay and goalkeeper Weverton and sent the Chelsea portion of 65,782 fans into a frenzy. FIFA credited Weverton with an own goal.

Chelsea won’t travel far for its next match, facing Fluminense on Tuesday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hércules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in Friday’s earlier quarterfinal.

With Chelsea’s win, three of the four semifinal teams will be from Europe, with one from Brazil.

The 23-year-old Palmer scored his first goal in the Club World Cup, and showed why he’s widely considered one of the top attacking midfielders. He took a pass from Trevoh Chalobah and slipped the ball inside the far post.

Fans made it to Lincoln Financial Field on a holiday weekend that included a strike by nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia, competition from an earlier Phillies game, and a concert and fireworks show near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. FIFA had slashed tickets to as low as $11.15.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino attended the game, the eighth of the tournament at the home of NFL Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

There was a pregame pregame tribute for Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, who were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed and burst into flames on an isolated stretch of highway.

Key moments

Forward Liam Delap and defender Levi Colwill each got their second yellow cards of the tournament and will be suspended for the semifinal.

Takeaways

Estêvão agreed to a deal with Chelsea last summer that moved him to Chelsea after he turned 18.

Frustrated Arsenal Fans Plead with Pep Guardiola to Let Mikel Arteta Arsenal Win The League (VIDEO)—-A group of frustrated Arsenal fans have gone viral after making an emotional plea to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola amid the intensifying Premier League title race.

In clips circulating on social media, the supporters were heard shouting toward Guardiola, begging him to ease the pressure on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as the title battle reaches a decisive stage.

“Pep, please let Arteta win the league!” one fan shouted, while another added, “Let Arteta win something!” A third voice could be heard saying, “Pep, you’ve ruined my life,” capturing the raw emotions of fans watching their side’s title hopes slip under City’s relentless form.

The reactions come as Manchester City narrow victory against already relegated Burnley move them to the top of the table, while Arsenal now sit second on goal scored, piling pressure on Arteta’s side in the final stretch of the season.

Guardiola’s team, known for their consistency and late-season surges, have once again emerged as strong contenders, threatening to overtake Arsenal despite trailing for much of the campaign.

For Arsenal fans, the moment reflects a mix of frustration, admiration, and resignation, as they watch a familiar story unfold — their title ambitions being challenged by City’s dominance.
