On June 17, the group stage of the Club World Cup continued, with Premier League giant Chelsea playing against the American team Los Angeles FC. In the first and second half, Chelsea scored 1 goal each. In the end, Chelsea defeated Los Angeles FC 2-0 and ushered in a good start. There is a clear gap in strength between the two teams. The whole team of Chelsea is worth 1.05 billion euros, while Los Angeles FC is only 45.98 million euros. Chelsea's net worth is 21 times that of Los Angeles FC. In addition, this game is the first time that England and American clubs have played in the official match.

This game is played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the United States. The stadium can accommodate 70,000 people, but today only 22,137 people came to watch the game, and a large number of empty seats appeared in the stands. Of course, this has something to do with the competition time - the competition starts at 3 pm on weekdays. After the game started, the two teams were not excited enough and the pace was slow. In the 34th minute, Chelsea counterattacked, Jackson sent a beautiful straight pass, Neto got a one-on-one opportunity, calmly scored, and Chelsea led 1-0.

In the second half, Chelsea was unable to expand the score for a long time. Until the 80th minute, they finally scored again. The Blues attacked from the right, Delapp made a cross from the bottom, Enzo inserted and scored a goal. In the end, Chelsea won the British and American battle 2-0, which was the first time that Chelsea beat the American team in an official game in a history.

Full game, Chelsea's possession rate was as high as 65%, with 17 shots, but the offensive efficiency was not high, with only 6 shots and 2 scoring opportunities. In this game, Chelsea's overall performance was average and the players were not excited enough. Among them, Palmer, who is worth 120 million euros, is disappointing, and is almost invisible on both ends of offense and defense.

The victory of this game brought Chelsea a £1.5 million profit. At 2 a.m. on June 21, Chelsea will play against Flamenco. At 9 a.m. on June 25, Chelsea will face Tunisia Hope. Considering that the strength of the three opponents is relatively weak, Chelsea has great hope of qualifying in the group.
