After the qualification of the Brazilians of Palmeiras at the expense of the Egyptians of Al-Ahly, Chelsea qualified for the final of the Club World Cup by beating the Saudis of Al-Hilal by the smallest of margins (1- 0) at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). The Blues could thank Romelu Lukaku, author of the only goal of the meeting (32nd).
Following good work on the left lane, German striker Kai Havertz sent a cross into the area of truth. Taking advantage of a hazardous defensive intervention, the Belgian striker was quick to beat Abdullah Al Muaiouf in the goal area. Chelsea will play their first final of the competition since the 2012 edition, which Rafael Benitez’s men lost to Corinthians.
