Chelsea beat Palmerias to set up Fluminense Club World Cup semi
A late own goal off Palmeiras defender Agustin Giay lifted Chelsea to a 2-1 victory in Philadelphia, sending the Premier League side into the Club World Cup semifinals. A shot by Chelsea's Malo Gusto from the right side deflected off Palmeiras' Richard Rios and Giay. Goalkeeper Weverton was unable to control the caroming ball before it went into the net. Chelsea will play Fluminense on Tuesday in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Brazilian side defeated Al Hilal 2-1 earlier on Friday. Cole Palmer scored his first of the tournament in the 16th minute for Chelsea before Estevao, who will join Chelsea after the tournament, tied it in the 53rd minute. Palmer had been criticised by the Chelsea fans for his lack of production despite leading the team in shots on goal during the tournament. He proved his worth on the goal, taking a pass from Trevoh Chalobah and dribbling from just outside the box to 15 yards out before scoring with a left-footed strike. 'I've been working on it the shot in training. I just saw the space and went there,' Palmer told DAZN after the match. 'The manager just said to keep calm and do lots of passes, and we should be all right.' Chelsea fans didn't know whether to cheer or cry, however, when Estevao tied it with a brilliant, tight-angle shot for the equaliser. He made a verbal agreement with Chelsea in May 2024 but was not permitted to move to England until he turned 18 on April 24, delaying his transfer to the current window. The clubs arranged that he would remain with Palmeiras until their tournament run ended. 'You can see he [Estevao] is a top player, so we are excited for him [to join Chelsea after the tournament],' Palmer said of his soon-to-be teammate. Joao Pedro made his Chelsea debut in the 54th minute, two days after his signing from Brighton & Hove Albion of the Premier League was confirmed. The Brazilian had 10 goals and six assists for Brighton last season. Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund, while Paris-Saint Germain take on Bayern Munich in the other quarterfinals on Saturday.

Chelsea will play in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup on Tuesday after overcoming Brazilian side Palmeiras in Philadelphia on Friday night.

Cole Palmer fired Chelsea in front in the 16th minute before Estevao equalised with a stunning finish from a narrow angle early in the second half.

Roma target Nahuel Molina and Augustin Giay for right flank
With the official appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini on the Roma bench, the Giallorossi are ready to revolutionize several departments, starting with the flanks. In fact, Roma are said to be focusing on the right flank above all, to favor Gasperini's preferred 3-4-3 system. Advertisement Overall, Roma's full-backs have contributed 25 goals in total over the last five seasons, a modest haul when compared to the numbers of the teams coached by Gasperini: in the same period, his Atalanta full-backs have scored 45 goals. As reported by Il Messaggero, the first name to end up on Roma's notebook is Agustin Giay, an Argentine born in 2004, considered one of the most promising talents in South American football. A versatile right-back with a past as a centre-back, Giay grew up with the legend of Javier Zanetti and currently plays for Palmeiras. The price set for his transfer is around 15 million euros. Advertisement In addition to Roma, Napoli and Benfica are also interested in him. However, the club does not seem willing to negotiate before the Club World Cup. In addition to Giay, Nahuel Molina also remains in the background: Atlético Madrid, however, start with a valuation of at least 30 million.
