Chelsea 2 - 0 Fluminense Chelsea advanced to the Club World Cup final with a composed win over Fluminense Author | Lewis W Stadium | MetLife Stadium Joao Pedro marked his full debut with a brace against the club he supported as a boy.  A closer look at what happened The £55m signing from Brighton opened the scoring after 18 minutes, curling a precise effort beyond Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio after Thiago Silva failed to deal with Pedro Neto’s cross.

Palmer's teasing, dipping delivery from a central area was then expertly glanced in by Enzo Fernández just after the hour mark.
