00:00Well, LAFC, I suppose technically the home side,
00:07but there is certainly a lot of blue inside this stadium.
00:30And we have liftoff in Atlanta. Group D is underway.
00:45LAFC coming to this in remarkable form.
00:47They're unbeaten in ten games, scoring two in each,
00:50including in that play-off win that saw them qualify for this tournament today.
00:54They come up against two-time Champions League winners,
00:57six-time Premier League champions, eight-time FA Cup winners.
00:59Chelsea, Michael Brown, how do they win this game?
01:03Well, it's all how you start the game.
01:05Chelsea on the front foot, looking to put pressure on quite quickly.
01:10You would expect they want to control the ball as much as they possibly can,
01:14but can LAFC be brave enough?
01:17Can they get an extra man in the middle of the pitch?
01:20You gain some momentum, we'll soon see.
01:22Some lovely early footwork at the back on display.
01:25They're keen to try and play around that high Chelsea press LAFC,
01:29but heavy touches like that will be picked up immediately
01:32by the side from West London as Sanchez puts his right foot through it.
01:37And Segura knocks it down.
01:40It's an unkind pass to Ryan Hollingshead,
01:42the experienced full-back who just says, calm down.
01:44Neto unable to control it, though, for Chelsea.
01:56Here's Igor Jesus, who will be the deeper of the midfield three for LAFC today.
02:02He's combative to say the least.
02:05It'll be interesting to see just how combative this game gets.
02:09The opening game was certainly a feisty affair between Al Ali and into Miami.
02:14I think that's the point.
02:15If you can do that, if you can get close,
02:17that's what you're trying to do, set the momentum.
02:19I think they're really impressed you, the confidence,
02:22them trying to move the ball around side to side, into midfield.
02:25It's been a good start.
02:26Here's Ryan Hollingshead, very progressive from the LAFC.
02:29Left-back, sport over on the far side.
02:31It's Ordaz into the penalty area.
02:33A handful of white shirts available,
02:35including on the edge of the penalty area.
02:37Here's Tillman, Chelsea back in numbers as the cross comes in,
02:40but Pedro Neto's there.
02:41Good defensive work, right from the winger.
02:43And now Palmer tries to release Nicholas Jackson.
02:46He hasn't got the pace to get there ahead of the LAFC defender.
02:50Luckily for the side in white.
02:53Hugo Lloris is off his line to sweep it away.
03:02A moment to worry Chelsea there at the back,
03:04but they got numbers back quickly and showed desire
03:07to deal with it as soon as possible.
03:10I think these are the moments now.
03:12Cole Palmer just drifting, taking his time,
03:14just finding the way around.
03:16Cucurellas position inside, left but high,
03:18like a number eight is a different area.
03:21Something I might have worked on to try and get
03:23in advanced positions a little bit quicker.
03:26Chelsea in there.
03:28Throwing far up there, right-hand side.
03:30Pedro Neto, only one option down the line.
03:33That is Captain Rhys James.
03:38The only survivor of that 2021 Intercontinental Cup win in the squad.
03:44Is Tillman closed down by Caicedo.
03:47That is simply what Moises Caicedo does.
03:50Here he is now on the left-hand side.
03:53His most comfortable position.
03:55Lavia, Palmer.
03:57This is where he likes it.
03:58It's Cole Palmer.
03:59He has support.
04:00LA flooding back to defend and they slow down.
04:05Not as good defending, just swarmed the England man.
04:10It's not away yet though.
04:12Cucurellas towards the back post.
04:14Disappointing cross from the Spaniard.
04:16He thought someone was there but
04:18must have been one of the stewards in blue behind the goal.
04:25Half an opportunity though for Chelsea to create something.
04:28As Enzo Maresca patrols his touchline for the first time this afternoon.
04:39I know there was a bit of a dip in the domestic campaign midway through the season.
04:43There was a lot of support.
04:44It dwindled a little bit but having a brilliant end to the Premier League season
04:48and of course winning the Conference League,
04:50that's almost definitely brought a lot of supporters on-site.
04:53Wayward pass by Colwilt.
04:56Easily intercepted at the back by Palencia.
04:59That's a very clever turn by Tillman.
05:01Down the right-hand side as Nathan Nordas
05:03doesn't bring it under control at the first time of our skin.
05:07It's Jesus.
05:09There's a shout from the left-hand side.
05:11It's Denis Bruonga, the danger man, but
05:13didn't really pose much of a threat there.
05:15Heavy touch allowing Rhys James to pick the ball from his pocket.
05:18Nice numbers over on the far side here for Chelsea.
05:23Not many white shirts getting back at pace with the blue shirts.
05:27They flood forward at pace.
05:28Jackson, clever turn, gets the shot away.
05:31Well held by Hugo Lloris.
05:33Well, it was a great breakaway.
05:35Marueke just turning on the afterburners, finding Jackson,
05:38and he was just off balance as he took that shot, Michael.
05:40Yeah, brilliant turn into that area.
05:42He had no right.
05:43He just stuck a leg out.
05:45Tried to divert it, but it was a quick counter in good areas,
05:49and finally we see Chelsea progressing much quicker.
05:53And that presser's there now, and it was forcing the mistakes.
05:58There's Caicedo.
06:00Closed down aggressively.
06:01Only just to evade the challenge.
06:03There's Pedro Neto.
06:05One on his own out on that Chelsea right-hand side.
06:08Every outfield player in the LAFC half at the moment.
06:16Noise you can hear is the very loud travelling fan base
06:20from California behind Hugo Lloris's goal.
06:25The black and gold, as they call them.
06:28They're certainly making a racket.
06:30I can hear a drum. I can't see a drum.
06:31There's Cole Palmer.
06:34Wonderfully controlled with that left foot of his.
06:36We're in the number ten, you may have realised this evening.
06:39Here's Neto.
06:41Tries to dance his way through the LAFC defence.
06:44Unfortunately, he had two left feet on that occasion.
06:48Here's Colwell.
06:54Caicedo.
06:56Lavia.
06:57Palmer.
06:58Can't quite bring it under his control.
06:59Very well read at the back by Segura.
07:01He goes Jesus.
07:03He has to be careful there.
07:04He can't dwell in possession.
07:06When there's Premier League players lurking around your back line.
07:11Here's Delgado.
07:16Now Hollingshead.
07:17Down to Dennis Buonga.
07:20They call him the one-man wrecking machine.
07:23Looks like he's trying to do exactly that here,
07:26but can't find a way beyond neither James or Neto.
07:30I think that is the difference, isn't it?
07:31When you're coming up against Rhys James,
07:33you've got to pick your fight.
07:34Neto has doubled up.
07:36I think that's been a lot of talking point.
07:38He's obviously an experienced player now.
07:40For all, he's the best player.
07:42Just a couple of choices that he has to make,
07:44and in this particular game,
07:47he's got to draw a couple over and just try and have a little pass inside,
07:50a little sliding option, and he decides to set the tone,
07:54and you don't blame him for that.
07:55It's his first real run.
07:57He is the man to keep an eye on.
08:00He's wearing the number 99 shirt, which you don't see very often,
08:05if at all, in English football.
08:07Heavy touch from Lavia, but he manages just about to win that 50-50,
08:11and bring the ball away.
08:12Very well done by the youngster,
08:15who's earned himself a free kick in the centre circle,
08:17but great tenacity shown by the youngster there.
08:20Good play.
08:21Referee got a touch as well.
08:23Wasn't really planned, but...
08:25There you go.
08:26But it's an interesting battle in the middle, to be honest.
08:29Jesus is going to try and press, try and get in around it.
08:32He's actually showed some good touches himself, taking the ball, but...
08:36the trouble he's got.
08:38Lavia is so comfortable, taking it into different situations.
08:42He'll say, give me it wherever possible.
08:43These little links now.
08:45Very tight in the central midfield area.
08:48Back four, offering a little bit more width, but...
08:52Not seeing too much joy so far for Chelsea down those lines.
08:57And it's Cucurea.
09:01Tosin Adrobayo into Moises Caicedo, and now Levi Colwell.
09:11The man who scored the goal that essentially secured
09:13Champions League football for Chelsea next season in a 1-0 win
09:17at the city ground home of Nottingham Forest.
09:20A side who nobody pre-season predicted would be in with the hope
09:24of getting anywhere near the European positions,
09:27let alone the Champions League spots.
09:29I think fourth is very much a happy ending for...
09:36Let's be honest, a transitional season for Chelsea.
09:39First one under Enzo Maresco.
09:42He's long, cleverly done.
09:44By the LAFC captain.
09:51Larissa Segura, he didn't quite like that, the Colombian centre-back.
09:56As Cole Palmer puts the press on the Frenchman.
09:59Madueke didn't fancy that.
10:00Palencia.
10:01Very well done, as Delgado can bring it forward here for LAFC.
10:04He's got one option to his left, that's Buonga,
10:06and he tried to find the run of the Gabon forward.
10:10He's fast, but he's not quite that fast.
10:13Something to note down for Steve Sherandolo.
10:16I think that's the first time we've seen Palencia get into those positions,
10:17he likes to do that in the MLS, but it's tough, isn't it?
10:19When you've got Madueke out on that side, you want to go too far, but...
10:24It's created the overload, it's just a shame the pass was too strong.
10:26A good little bit of space for Delgado.
10:28I'm not sure if he gets a chance in that position again, he'll learn from his ways.
10:32That's Caicedo. Levi Colbert, Tosin Adrobayo. Once again, every outfield player in the LA half.
10:35Palmer. No room for him to operate.
10:36No room for him to operate.
10:37He's got the lead, but it's tough, isn't it?
10:38It's tough, isn't it?
10:39It's tough, isn't it?
10:40When you've got Madueke out on that side, you want to go too far, but...
10:41It's just a shame the pass was too strong.
10:42A good little bit of space for Delgado.
10:44Not sure if he gets a chance in that position again, he'll...
10:48He'll learn from his ways.
10:50That's Caicedo.
10:53Levi Colbert.
10:55Tosin Adrobayo.
10:56Once again, every outfield player in the LA half.
10:59Palmer. No room for him to operate.
11:02He can operate in very tight areas, but that was...
11:05Certainly tight for the England man.
11:08Kicking the ankle for Eberbise.
11:11And LAFC will get a chance to breathe.
11:13Just take control of possession a little bit without Chelsea closing them down.
11:18Well, LAFC coming to this in the middle of the MLS season.
11:32Currently unbeaten in ten games in all competitions, nine of them in their domestic league.
11:37So they're full of energy and very fit.
11:41And they've got some defending to do here.
11:43Madueke, Kukureya, is arriving in support.
11:46Madueke fancies it all on his own, but once again, the LA defender's just doubling up on the Chelsea winger.
11:53She's gonna get caught on the Chelsea winger.
11:57As Cal Will and Kukureya worked together to win possession back, but it is a foul.
12:05And the referees just come over to spot something here.
12:08I'm not sure if it's a radio is no issue, a wardrobe issue maybe.
12:11wardrobe issue, perhaps, but Mr. Valazuela, the referee,
12:17is just taking a moment here.
12:27That's a shake of the head.
12:29Not quite sure what's going on, but he seems to be all right.
12:32Yeah, some of his technology, the mic packs, et cetera,
12:35the communication between the teams, but it gives everybody
12:39just to have a little look, realisation, what's next.
12:44He's thinking, how does he stop this Chelsea side counter so quickly
12:48into the wider positions, and when they do it and increase the intensity,
12:52it's going to be tough for them.
12:56Chelsea enjoying the majority of the ball at the moment.
13:04Here's Lavia, now Rhys James.
13:07Here's Palma.
13:08Here's Palma.
13:10Here's Palma, the Chelsea player of the season.
13:14The only man to play in every single Premier League game
13:16for the West Londoners as well in the last campaign.
13:20Here's Lavia.
13:22and he's Lavia
13:25considerably more improved season
13:28from him
13:30after his first campaign
13:32Chelsea was disrupted by constant injury
13:35here's Parma
13:36insider goes to Jackson
13:38tries to return it to Parma
13:40Neto will get there, he crosses it into a dangerous area
13:42it comes through to Madueke
13:43but he just couldn't bring it down
13:45and it was a very, very difficult one to do so
13:48as LA come forward on the counter now
13:50not many in this attack
13:52out wide with Nathan Audaz
13:55the El Salvador winger plays it centrally
13:57to Ebu Bisse
13:58Delgado
14:00Chelsea once again
14:06showing their desire to
14:07win the ball back as a pack
14:09rather than individual efforts
14:11Kaysedo gives it away
14:14rather cheaply to Timothy Tillman
14:16I think the way it shows you
14:17Rich James realises there's a threat
14:19so the second the ball goes out
14:21there he's tight
14:22he's really close by
14:24quite aggressive
14:25quite strong
14:26it's an interesting counter
14:28they should have been
14:29really in behind
14:30with better quality
14:31they had space to operate in
14:33didn't they
14:33but couldn't quite
14:34make the most of it
14:36and there's a mistake at the back
14:39by Palencia
14:40Marueke
14:41turns on the afterburners
14:43he's got two in the middle
14:44but he can't find either
14:45Palmer or Jackson
14:47there's a few little mistakes
14:50happening now
14:50and
14:51space opening up
14:52for both sides
14:53and Jesus
14:58here's Tillman
15:08disappointing
15:09Javier
15:11Javier
15:11Kaysedo
15:19he's got options
15:20through the middle
15:21Kukure has made a
15:22foray forward
15:23into the penalty area
15:23but it's Marueke
15:24he's out wide
15:25four and blue
15:26waiting in the penalty area
15:27but Kaysedo
15:28is the option
15:28Tosin
15:32for a moment
15:34he was going to have a pop
15:34then from 35
15:35yards out or so
15:37Neto
15:39Rhys James
15:41wonderful switch of the play
15:43to Marueke
15:44brings it under control
15:45excellently
15:46with that left foot of his
15:47can't get away from Palencia
15:51though
15:51the last touch
15:51did come off an LA boot
15:53the ball was better
16:00wasn't it
16:00Rhys James
16:01switching play
16:03Kukure is at
16:04sort of
16:06positional sense
16:07is really causing problems
16:08if I'm the holding midfielder
16:09what do I do
16:10do I drop out to the right hand side
16:11if I'm a centre back
16:12do I step in
16:13they've got far too much control
16:15is Romeo Lavia
16:25in control
16:26and Kaysedo
16:30gestures to get down that
16:32right hand side
16:33Rhys James
16:33but
16:33all he can do is misplace the pass
16:35through to Hugo Lloris
16:37and they've got the lights out
16:41and the torch is out behind his goal
16:42did have a light show before
16:45kick-off here
16:46but the LAFC supporters
16:47the Titans come up with their own
16:50in that small section
16:52away to our right
16:53here's Hollingshead
16:57not on a moment
16:59the experienced full-back
17:00to breathe
17:02with Pedro Neto
17:02in close attendance
17:04in close attendance
17:04in close attendance
17:12here's Ordaz
17:21Tillman to Palencia
17:25as Kaysedo
17:27makes the tackle
17:28on the LA midfielder
17:29Jackson
17:30clever footwork
17:31that's brilliant
17:32Tmarueke
17:33saved by Lloris
17:34Palmer's there as well
17:35well it's the best chance
17:38of the game so far
17:39it might not be over yet
17:40well it is now
17:42as Kaysedo
17:43commits the foul
17:45and Ordaz
17:47didn't like the kick-out
17:48from
17:48Kaysedo there
17:50but the play there
17:51on the edge of the penalty area
17:52between Madueke
17:53and Jackson
17:54was brilliant
18:23and we get the first glimpse
18:33of former UCL winners
18:36Manchester City
18:37as they take on
18:38Morocco's
18:38wide-eyed AC
18:39from Lincoln Financial Field
18:41in Philadelphia
18:42that is
18:43live on DAZN
18:44focus that remains here
18:54in Atlanta
18:56where it is
18:56Chelsea nil
18:58LAFC nil
19:00first chance of the game
19:01it's definitely
19:03that combination
19:03between Jackson
19:04and Madueke
19:05Palmer couldn't
19:06quite follow it up
19:06it's the first
19:08real occasion
19:09we've seen a link-up
19:09play on that
19:10and there's the penalty
19:11Jackson does so well
19:12you know
19:12turned under pressure
19:13slides the ball in
19:14Madueke
19:15expected a touch
19:17better from him
19:18but good save
19:19the follow-up was there
19:20Cole Palmer right on point
19:21but
19:21good defensive numbers
19:24didn't allow it
19:26but
19:26Chelsea just creating
19:28the overloads now
19:29they understand the positions
19:30Cole Palmer drifting
19:31inside the pitch
19:33with Cuccarello
19:33so
19:34you can see almost
19:35a front five
19:36here they
19:38manoeuvre
19:39themselves around
19:40the penalty area
19:41or the final third even
19:42in an incredibly
19:43fluid manner
19:44Eagle Aristo
19:45as I mentioned
19:47earlier on
19:47this is 25th
19:48appearance
19:49against Chelsea
19:51he's only actually
19:52won four of those
19:53games
19:53would you believe
19:54doesn't have the best
19:55of records
19:55former Spurs man
19:57as you can see there
20:05Chelsea enjoying the majority
20:06of the ball which
20:07we did expect pre-game
20:09they may be just up in their
20:11game a little bit now
20:12as Neto sends one in
20:14but it's well read by
20:14Palencia
20:15Caicedo
20:16encouraged the shoot
20:17wasn't quite set
20:18Palmer's set though
20:19Cole Palmer
20:20great effort
20:21just a little bit
20:23too much
20:23and I think
20:24there was a touch
20:25from Hugo Lloris
20:26as that went over
20:26the crossbar
20:27but Cole Palmer
20:28when you give him that
20:28space on the edge
20:29of the penalty area
20:30especially on his
20:31left foot
20:31you know
20:32he's going to try
20:33and bend it
20:33into that top corner
20:34well it's difficult
20:35because he just has
20:36that ability
20:36just to push it
20:38out of his feet
20:38and there was a
20:40deflection early
20:41on it
20:41sent it over
20:43you know
20:44whenever he does it
20:45he can shift it late
20:46put it into positions
20:47and they did it right
20:50there
20:50they were stretched
20:51LAFC
20:52and then
20:52Palencia cleared it
20:54but then they just
20:55circulate
20:55keeping it going
20:56and now they come
20:57an extra overload
20:59on the wider
21:00position
21:00taking the corner
21:03short
21:03and it comes
21:05to nothing
21:06rather disappointing
21:06but Cole Palmer
21:07he is always
21:08the danger man
21:0915 goals
21:10in 46
21:11games
21:13last season
21:14for Chelsea
21:15a couple of assists
21:16in the Conference League
21:17final as well
21:17not bad at all
21:18here's Kukurea
21:19there's a touch there
21:20and behind for
21:21yeah another corner
21:22for Chelsea
21:23be interesting to see
21:25whether they play
21:26this one short again
21:26considering how much
21:27of a flop that
21:28first effort was
21:29well you can just
21:30see the set up
21:303v2
21:32so you know
21:33they've got it
21:34can draw it out
21:35or put the ball in
21:36or the edge of the
21:37areas are
21:37are open
21:39there's an overload
21:40of blue shirts
21:40it's Rhys James
21:41who shoots
21:42had Lloris sprawling
21:44to his left
21:44but it was
21:45well blocked
21:45in the middle
21:46as Kukurea struggles
21:48to keep it in
21:49on this near side
21:50but it was probably
21:515, 6
21:53blue shirts
21:53just waiting over
21:54by the corner
21:55there
21:55massive difficulty
21:57you can obviously
21:59keep everyone back
22:00and put everybody
22:01around the
22:026 yard area
22:03zonal
22:03or look for blockers
22:06and create the
22:073v2 on the edge
22:08but there
22:08nowhere near
22:10that's where I think
22:11he got to jump on it
22:12the strikes on the edge
22:14but Jesus there
22:15and that battle
22:16with Kukurea
22:17was interesting
22:17he went shoulder
22:18for shoulder
22:18and there's only
22:20one winner
22:20he got to jump on it
22:21he got to jump on it
22:22he got to jump on it
22:23he got to jump on it
22:24he got to jump on it
22:25the Brazilian who scored
22:26the 89th minute equaliser
22:28against Club America
22:29in the play-off
22:29that saw them
22:31come to this
22:32to this Club World Cup
22:33Denis Bawanga
22:35the man who scored
22:36the winner in
22:36extra time
22:37hardly mentioned him
22:39in this
22:39first 22 minutes
22:41or so
22:41that's very well done
22:42by Tillman
22:42but that wasn't
22:43Lavia
22:45it was good play
22:50from Tillman
22:51really good feet
22:52but there was just
22:53too many around him
22:54initially
22:55Palencia
22:56on that 1v1
22:57he's done really well
22:59I don't think he can
23:00shift to both sides
23:01and he's got delighted
23:02with his start
23:03to the game
23:03there's a lot of eyes
23:05on Timothy Tillman
23:07there was a lot of eyes
23:08on his brother Malik
23:09yesterday
23:10he scored two goals
23:11for the US men's
23:11national team
23:12in there
23:12win over Haiti
23:14here come LAFC
23:15he's given away
23:16rather cheaply
23:18in the end
23:18it was Ordaz
23:19who had the room
23:20and had the ball
23:21on the right-hand side
23:22and came to nothing
23:24rather disappointingly
23:25for the 21-year-old
23:27El Salvadorian
23:28you see him dropping
23:34back into the shape
23:35now
23:35LAFC
23:35the wider positions
23:37into a 4-5-1
23:38at least James
23:40wins that ball
23:41but can't get to the next
23:42one as Delgado
23:43pinches it back
23:43and Hollingshead
23:44is forward here
23:44the left-back
23:45the furthest forward
23:46for LAFC
23:46Ruonga
23:48Caicedo across
23:49and it's a foul
23:51by Moises Caicedo
23:52much to the disagreement
23:54of the supporters
23:54inside
23:55the Mercedes-Benz
23:57stadium here
23:57and the referee
23:59indicating not once
24:00not twice
24:01but three times
24:01that it's a free kick
24:03for the side in white
24:04makes the foul
24:07but I think
24:08as a midfielder
24:09when you get into
24:10those areas
24:11you've got to go tight
24:12you've got to go quick
24:13Ruonga just holds
24:15onto it too long
24:16there's the referee's view
24:17quite a bad view
24:20was it
24:20he's right on top
24:21of it
24:21so
24:21you take it
24:23I love that shot
24:23actually
24:24I think it's really good
24:25but
24:25it's got to open up there
24:27we touched on it earlier
24:29that slide pass
24:30into the middle
24:31the next one's coming across
24:32yes he gets the foul
24:33but I feel like
24:34that was an opportunity
24:35that was too good
24:36to turn down
24:37that all came from Chelsea
24:38just getting a little bit
24:39too excited
24:39and going high up the pitch
24:40Rhys James getting caught
24:41out of position
24:42after winning that ball
24:43initially
24:44here's Buonga
24:45with a cross into the penalty area
24:46but Robert Sanchez
24:47takes it all day
24:48it's the only
24:50piece of action
24:51he's had so far
24:52Sanchez
24:52as he gives it
24:53immediately back
24:54to LA
24:55Sanchez now
24:57well he's got to be careful
24:58well
24:59we know he's got a
25:01mistake in him
25:03Robert Sanchez
25:03made the joint most errors
25:04leading to goals
25:05in the Premier League
25:06last season
25:06that was five
25:07and just the first sign
25:09of him maybe
25:10showing he's a little bit
25:11unsure
25:12of himself
25:13in this one
25:14you were at the press conference
25:25yesterday
25:25and Enzo Mareska
25:26did mention that
25:27Robert Sanchez
25:28is his number one
25:29goalkeeper
25:30Philip Jorgensen
25:30is his number
25:32two goalkeeper
25:32and Mike Penders
25:33will be assessed
25:34assessed to see
25:37how he goes
25:37but he also
25:38didn't rule out
25:39the possibility
25:39of another goalkeeper
25:40and there has been
25:42links
25:42and
25:43that's the interesting
25:45point
25:46what is he going to say
25:46he has to
25:47sort of back his
25:48goalkeeper
25:48that he's got
25:48at this moment
25:49in time
25:49he's not exactly
25:52a bad goalkeeper
25:53Robert Sanchez
25:54hopefully done
25:56on the far side
25:58as L.A. work together
26:01to progress
26:02but Ebubise
26:02is the man
26:03who loses out
26:03eventually
26:04I was speaking to
26:05some of the staff
26:06actually
26:06and people who know
26:07L.A. F.C.
26:09Ebubise
26:09what he needs to bring
26:11when you're playing
26:12and you're sitting in
26:12and waiting
26:13is that number nine
26:14you've got to have
26:15your first touch
26:15you've got to keep
26:16in play
26:16you've got to find
26:17your team mate
26:18it's a little bit
26:19loose
26:20in possession
26:21I'd be annoyed
26:23if I was a midfield
26:23player stepping in
26:24and he's let the ball
26:25go
26:26not really
26:28seen him have a touch
26:31of the ball
26:31really
26:31Ebubise
26:32and it's
26:32certainly not been
26:34in the attacking third
26:35when he's
26:35had the ball
26:36at his feet
26:37midway through
26:41this first half
26:42still Chelsea
26:420
26:43L.A. F.C.
26:440
26:44Madoeke
26:46Madoeke
26:47chance
26:48the best one
26:49of the half
26:50so far
26:50here's Jesus
26:52not wide
26:53to order
26:53it's a
26:54push in the back
26:55from Levi Colwell
26:56now Ebubise
26:57has to come short
26:59to control it
26:59but he's
27:00decided a free kick
27:01ten yards or so
27:02inside the L.A. half
27:03and
27:03that didn't quite
27:05come together
27:05there's a man down
27:10for L.A. F.C.
27:11and it's
27:12Nathan
27:13Ordaz
27:14and you'll see
27:15in a moment
27:17exactly why
27:17as that's the
27:18foul on Ebubise
27:19that led to the free kick
27:20there might be a little
27:21bit of contact
27:22didn't look
27:23like Colwell
27:24had done much
27:25but I think
27:26there was a little bit
27:27on the side
27:28of the shin
27:28and she tries to
27:29play it quick
27:30it hits his own
27:31team mate
27:31in the head
27:31which wasn't
27:32the perfect scenario
27:34to lose the ball
27:35but overall
27:37I think they'll be
27:37pleased
27:380-0 at this stage
27:40gives you something
27:41to go up before
27:42half time
27:43forward here for
27:44Parma who
27:45saw a route
27:46into the penalty
27:47area but
27:47couldn't find
27:48the ball
27:48at his feet
27:50and that bank
27:53of three
27:54and that bank
27:54of four
27:55is incredibly
27:55difficult to
27:56break down
27:57for Chelsea
27:57as the
27:57linesman
27:58raises his
27:59flag on
27:59the far
28:00side
28:00he's
28:06obviously
28:07know it's a
28:07race
28:08don't
28:08they
28:08Hugo
28:08Lloris
28:09playing quick
28:10thinking you'd
28:11want to slow
28:11it down
28:12and wait for the
28:13opportunity
28:14but they know
28:15that's their
28:15counter attack
28:16an opportunity
28:17to score a goal
28:17is still there
28:18even though a lot
28:20of teams would say
28:21well we won't play
28:21that today
28:22because of the
28:22opposition
28:23but I'm giving
28:24credit for that
28:25that's their style
28:26and you've got
28:28pace out wide
28:29in the form of
28:29Odaz and
28:31Buonga
28:31gotta try and
28:33utilise it
28:34gotta get the
28:36ball and
28:36get away from a
28:37couple of Chelsea
28:38players first
28:38there was Kukurea
28:39pops up in the
28:39midfield
28:40Parma
28:41Neto
28:43four in the box
28:44for Chelsea
28:44Kukurea the
28:45target
28:45only by
28:47Hollingshead
28:48Neto
28:48manages to
28:49ride the
28:50challenge
28:50in the midfield
28:52as well
28:52and
28:52Chelsea
28:55players stay
28:55forward here
28:56as Buonga
28:56is beaten
28:57by Neto
28:57this is good
28:58by the
28:59Portugal man
28:59he sends it
29:00in towards
29:00the back
29:00post
29:01and it's
29:02glanced wide
29:02by Madoeque
29:03who was always
29:04going to struggle
29:04to get a full
29:05forehead on that
29:06and nods it
29:06back into a
29:07danger area
29:08he's an
29:11exciting player
29:12Pedro Neto
29:14and
29:14fancy him
29:15against anybody
29:15on his day
29:16Enzo
29:20Maresca
29:20looking a
29:21little bit
29:21perplexed
29:23it's lively
29:25in there
29:26isn't it
29:26in that end
29:27behind the goal
29:29where do they get
29:30the LAFC
29:31sombreros
29:31I want one
29:32you ask if
29:33supporters enjoy
29:34these days
29:35and the moments
29:37being a fan
29:37I think those
29:38pictures tell you
29:39everything
29:39well they're not
29:42they've not been
29:43around quite as long
29:45as Chelsea
29:47of LAFC
29:48they only entered
29:50the competition
29:50in 2018
29:52Steve
29:56is a name
29:58that many
29:59many in
29:59Germany
30:00will be more
30:00familiar with
30:01if anything
30:02he spent his
30:06whole
30:06club
30:07career
30:07there
30:07here's
30:08Parma
30:08Marueke
30:11trying to find
30:12some space
30:13can't manufacture
30:14it on his own
30:14Marietta
30:16Caicedo
30:1725 yards
30:18out
30:19Parma
30:19Kukureya
30:21Parma
30:23nobody in
30:24supports
30:25let's go all the
30:25way back here
30:26Parma but
30:26he always tends
30:29to look for the
30:29progressive pass
30:30before
30:30admitting there's no
30:32option ahead of him
30:33it's amazing at
30:37times
30:38Nicole Parma
30:38just decides
30:39to go a little
30:39bit
30:40out of the
30:41shape
30:41and make
30:42something
30:42happen
30:42here's
30:46Marueke
30:47Kukureya
30:48Lavia
30:50Kukureya
30:53found a gap
30:54but you can
30:55just see
30:55how tight
30:56it is in
30:56there
30:57here's
31:01Caicedo
31:02Colwell
31:03Parma
31:10just
31:10trying to
31:11stretch
31:11that
31:12midfield
31:12and back
31:12line
31:13to
31:13force
31:13a little
31:14bit
31:14of
31:14space
31:14for
31:14either
31:14Neto
31:15or
31:15Marueke
31:15and there
31:16might
31:16have
31:16been
31:16a
31:16little
31:16bit
31:16of
31:16room
31:16but
31:17the
31:17pass
31:17was
31:18too
31:18heavy
31:18for
31:19Pedro
31:19Neto
31:19on
31:20that
31:21occasion
31:21well
31:24half an
31:24hour
31:24in
31:25and
31:25I
31:25think
31:25if
31:25you're
31:26Steve
31:26Cerandolo
31:26you're
31:27an
31:27LAFC
31:28supporter
31:28in
31:28that
31:29away
31:29end
31:29you're
31:29probably
31:30quite
31:30happy
31:30with
31:30how it's
31:31gone
31:31absolutely
31:32delighted
31:32with the
31:33scoreline
31:33like it
31:34is
31:34and they've
31:35showed
31:35some good
31:35touches
31:36a couple
31:36of promising
31:37counterattacks
31:38obviously
31:38not gone
31:39too far
31:39there's the
31:40moment again
31:41keeping hold
31:41of the
31:42ball
31:42to be
31:43tighter
31:43done well
31:45just need to
31:46turn out
31:46of that
31:46so
31:47there's
31:48some good
31:48movement
31:48ball
31:51ball
31:51forward
31:51here
31:52for
31:52Chelsea
31:53back
31:53line
31:53to
31:53deal
31:54with
31:54Kukerea
31:54smartly
31:55blocking
31:56off
31:56Nathan
31:57Ordaz
31:58who
31:58sniffed
31:59half an
32:00opportunity
32:00available
32:01there
32:01but
32:01Mark Kukerea
32:02there's not
32:03many better
32:04in his
32:04position
32:04really
32:05and
32:05I suppose
32:06his position
32:06is quite
32:06unique
32:07really
32:07because
32:07he's
32:07a
32:08rather
32:09adventurous
32:10fullback
32:11as the
32:11Spain
32:11international
32:12yes
32:13but look
32:13at the
32:14areas
32:14they keep
32:14talking
32:15about
32:15it
32:15it's
32:16difficult
32:16that
32:16three
32:17don't know
32:18how to
32:19deal with
32:19it
32:19but
32:20Valencia
32:21doesn't know
32:21whether to
32:22stay tight
32:23to narrow
32:23off
32:24he probably
32:25wants to
32:25just come
32:25inside
32:26slightly
32:26I do
32:31feel like

33:26Palencia
33:27he's got support

33:30into the
33:30midfield
33:31Jesus to
33:33Tillman
33:33remember
33:35say sorry
33:35the momentum
33:40they had
33:41is rather
33:42dissipated
33:43it was a great
33:44pass initially
33:45though
33:45that's what
33:46breaks the
33:46midfield
33:47forward pass
33:48with intensity
33:49purpose
33:50he had some
33:52good
33:52movement here
33:54Cucurella
33:55reads it
33:55though
33:55it's not
33:55quick enough
33:56stepping into
33:57the
33:57midfield
33:58Mark
33:58Cucurella
33:59very well
34:00done
34:00that's very
34:01well done
34:01as well
34:01by
34:01Nicholas
34:02Jackson
34:02Pedro Neto
34:03is this the
34:03chance
34:04it's Neto
34:05sends one
34:06defender on the
34:06floor
34:06and finds
34:07the bomb
34:08corner
34:08Pedro Neto
34:11the Premier
34:13League
34:13brilliance
34:13shines through
34:15here in
34:16Atlanta
34:16as Chelsea
34:17take the
34:17lead
34:18and it's
34:19their
34:19magical
34:19number
34:20seven
34:20Pedro Neto
34:21that has
34:23the first
34:23goal
34:23Chelsea
34:24one
34:24LAFC
34:25nil
34:26you have
34:29possession
34:29you think
34:31you're okay
34:31and then
34:32you're open
34:33you get a
34:33little bit
34:33overconfident
34:34Cucurella
34:35initially
34:36nicks it
34:37and then
34:37the ball
34:38in behind
34:39which has
34:39been key
34:40they've tried
34:40it at the
34:40good time
34:41with
34:41Caicedo
34:42and he said
34:43it's this
34:43little chop
34:44here
34:44that's the
34:44real quality
34:45he's got
34:45options
34:45on the
34:46far side
34:47but decides
34:48to go
34:48near post
34:49it's real
34:50quality
34:50the touch
34:52is perfect
34:53and the
34:53awareness
34:54puts it
34:54into that
34:55near post
34:56off he goes
34:57celebrating
34:57with a
34:58real quality
34:59finish
35:00disguise
35:01has
35:02a real
35:03aura
35:04about his
35:04play
35:05and the
35:06finish
35:06tells you
35:07everything
35:07about what
35:07he's got
35:08well it
35:09may be a
35:09brand new
35:10tournament
35:10but that
35:10was an
35:11old-fashioned
35:12Cruyff
35:12turn that
35:13sent the
35:14LAFC
35:15defender
35:15long to
35:16the floor
35:17and that
35:18sent the
35:19Chelsea supporters
35:20into raptures
35:21here in the
35:21Mercedes-Benz
35:22stadium
35:23well they've
35:24looked more
35:25likely
35:25and Pedro
35:27Neto
35:28is the man
35:30who has
35:30found the
35:32opening goal
35:32here in
35:32Atlanta
35:33Chelsea's
35:34FIFA
35:35club
35:35campaign
35:37is up
35:37and running
35:38here in
35:39Georgia
35:39what do
35:41LAFC do
35:42now
35:42that's the
35:43big question
35:45they do have
35:46options on the
35:48bench
35:48the obvious
35:49man is
35:49former Chelsea
35:51man Olivier Giroud
35:52not sure they'll
35:53bring him on
35:54just yet
35:54as Rhys James
35:56commits a foul on
35:57Dennis Buonga
35:58and it's the first
35:59other card of the
36:00game as well for
36:01Rhys James
36:01he looks rather
36:03perplexed
36:04quite glad to see
36:05that from the
36:06ref cam actually
36:07if that was
36:08possible but
36:08he didn't seem too
36:10close to that
36:11the referee but
36:12he wasn't coming
36:12together but
36:13he goes to go
36:18tight
36:19and does he
36:20make any
36:20contact with
36:21his foot
36:21is it
36:22reckless
36:22does he go
36:23to ground
36:23there's a slight
36:24little bit with
36:25the left hand
36:26coming out
36:27which is what
36:28you're supposed
36:28to do so
36:29nobody gets
36:29to the other
36:30side here
36:30one to lose
36:32the foul
36:32and two to
36:32receive a
36:33yellow card
36:33I think the
36:34shock
36:34tells you
36:35everything about
36:36how much
36:37he didn't
36:37agree with
36:37that decision
36:38yeah the
36:39yellow card
36:39especially
36:39I mean it
36:40was
36:40going out
36:41for an
36:42for a
36:43corner or
36:44a goal
36:44kick but
36:44it certainly
36:45wasn't going
36:45to be an
36:46opportunity
36:47there is a
36:48moment here
36:48for Nathan
36:49Audaz
36:50he did get
36:51the ball
36:51in the head
36:51about ten
36:52minutes ago
36:53and I'm not
36:54quite certain
36:54whether he
36:54needs to be
36:55assessed by
36:55the club
36:56doctors for
36:57LAFC
36:57we are allowed
36:58concussion
36:58substitutes of
36:59course
36:59in the club
37:01world cup
37:01and I think
37:03if he has to
37:03make way
37:04here that will
37:04almost definitely
37:05count
37:05as an
37:07concussion
37:08substitution
37:09not quite
37:12sure
37:13whether
37:13cameras
37:14caught it
37:14but
37:14it was
37:14a
37:15free
37:15kick
37:15that
37:15was
37:16taken
37:16quickly
37:16by
37:17LAFC
37:17a little
37:19earlier
37:19on
37:19and
37:20it was
37:20taken
37:20so
37:20quickly
37:21he
37:21didn't
37:22know
37:22it
37:22had
37:22been
37:22taken
37:22before
37:23he
37:23knew
37:23it
37:23hit
37:23him
37:23in the
37:23side
37:24of the
37:24head
37:24he
37:29doesn't look
37:31happy
37:31Enzo
37:32Maresco
37:32but I'm
37:32sure
37:32he'll
37:33be
37:33pleased
37:34that
37:34his
37:34side
37:34are
37:34in
37:35front
37:35just
37:41getting
37:41another
37:41look
37:42and how
37:44tight
37:44it was
37:45the line
37:46comes
37:46across
37:46it's
37:48about
37:48making
37:49runs
37:49into
37:49space
37:50defenders
37:51have to
37:51be aware
37:52of it
37:52he just
37:52turned
37:53the wrong
37:53way
37:54he watched
37:54his body
37:54shape
37:55that's
37:57what lost
37:57it
37:58then he
37:58tried to
37:58recover
37:59there's no
37:59way back
38:00because it
38:00was too
38:01late
38:01the man
38:03in the
38:03picture
38:03he did
38:04take a
38:04nasty
38:04blow
38:05to
38:05the
38:06side
38:07of
38:07his
38:07head
38:07and
38:07to
38:08wish
38:08him
38:08well
38:09the
38:09safety
38:09of
38:09the
38:09players
38:10are
38:10paramount
38:10does
38:11look like
38:11there's
38:11a
38:11change
38:12coming
38:12for
38:12LAFC
38:13but I
38:13think
38:13they're
38:13going to
38:14take
38:14this
38:15free
38:15kick
38:16first
38:16plenty
38:18in the
38:18middle
38:18in
38:19wide
38:19goes
38:19in
38:19Sanchez
38:20got
38:21something
38:21on
38:21it
38:22it's
38:23high
38:23five
38:23from
38:23Tosinad
38:24Rabayo
38:25and
38:25the danger
38:26is gone
38:27for now
38:27as
38:27the
38:28change
38:28takes
38:30place
38:30for
38:30LAFC
38:31David
38:41Martinez
38:41who's
38:42coming on
38:43lots of hype
38:44around
38:45this young man
38:4519 year old
38:46Venezuela
38:47international
38:47taken short
38:50by LA
38:50how about
38:53a different
38:53angle
38:53comes in
38:54low
38:54and
38:54Colwell's
38:55very solid
38:56defending
38:56by the
38:57young
38:58centre
38:58back
38:58to clear
38:59it away
38:59thought he
38:59should have
39:00got the
39:00throw in
39:00as well
39:01but
39:01for now
39:03it'll be
39:03an LA
39:04ball
39:04Chelsea
39:0527
39:0627
39:0711
39:08the
39:09playwright
39:1013
39:1015
39:11is
39:16Segura
39:16goes into
39:17Tillman
39:18just a little bit
39:20too much of the
39:21player
39:21before the ball
39:22there by
39:23Romeo
39:23Lavia
39:23you see the
39:24reaction of the
39:25Chelsea players
39:26they've had a
39:26couple of them
39:26go against
39:27them
39:27and
39:27they weren't
39:29too happy
39:29if you were
39:29in Romeo
39:30Lavia's
39:30boots
39:31there
39:31have you been
39:32protesting that
39:32I think
39:33all day
39:33because you
39:34know
39:34exactly
39:34where
39:34you've
39:35got
39:35your
39:35opponent
39:35he was
39:36waiting
39:36to get
39:37a little
39:38slide
39:38a little
39:38lunge
39:39into it
39:39he just
39:40wins it
39:41referee was
39:42really close
39:43to it
39:43I thought he
39:44was fortunate
39:45straight from the
39:49Michael Brown
39:50school of
39:50tackling
39:51Rhys James
39:52has to switch
39:53on here
39:53he hasn't
39:53Buonga gets
39:54away from him
39:54but his
39:55touch is loose
39:55and James
39:56is able to
39:57come across
39:57and it's
39:57turning into
39:58a real
39:58ding-dong
40:00heavyweight
40:00battle down
40:01the left-hand
40:02side for
40:02LAFC
40:03brilliant recovery
40:07he got the
40:08wrong side
40:08we just talked
40:09about it
40:09didn't we
40:10for LAFC
40:12for the goal
40:12Neto
40:14but this one
40:15is all about
40:16the recovery
40:17after losing
40:17the composure
40:18reacts quickly
40:19he's James
40:20and comes away
40:21with the ball
40:22not only
40:23an upright position
40:25and draws the foul
40:26and it's another
40:27good area here
40:28here's Neto
40:30the goal scorer
40:31can we get
40:31another one
40:32for the half-time
40:33whistle
40:34Chelsea
40:34it will
40:34certainly make
40:35Enzo Mareska's
40:36half-time
40:37team talk
40:37more comfortable
40:38Palmer
40:41finds Neto
40:43tries to lay it
40:43off
40:43to team-mate
40:45Lavia
40:45but can't do so
40:46here's Tillman
40:47can't get away
40:48from Moises
40:49Caicedo
40:49who slips
40:50on the surface
40:50and loses
40:51possession
40:52momentarily
40:52Lavia
40:53Palmer
40:54strikes right-footed
40:56blocked
40:57by Segura
40:58Neto on the right-hand side
41:01all on his own
41:01LA can't afford to
41:06concede another here
41:06Palmer
41:07tried to put it
41:09through the legs
41:09as the defender
41:09gets it back
41:11Palmer
41:11Segura's there
41:12to poke it away
41:13Delgado
41:16Segura
41:17not the nicest
41:19of passes
41:19but
41:20they work their way
41:21out of it
41:21brilliantly
41:21to LA
41:22here's Hollingshead
41:23that's a good ball
41:24first touch
41:28for Martinez
41:29Palencia
41:30sends in an early
41:31cross
41:31Ruanga's there
41:32he knocks it
41:32down to the middle
41:33Ebibise slips
41:34rather unfortunately
41:35and that allows
41:36Tosin to come in
41:37and Mavia
41:38gets a
41:38knock
41:39in the back
41:39as Martinez
41:40commits the foul
41:42but
41:42if Ebibise had
41:43kept his foot
41:44in there
41:45could have been
41:47half an opportunity
41:47for LA
41:48well Jake Paul
42:06returns to the
42:07boxing ring
42:07for the first time
42:08since the blockbuster
42:10event with Mike Tyson
42:11in 2024
42:11facing off
42:12against former
42:13WC middleweight
42:14champion
42:14Julio Cesar
42:15Chavez Jr
42:16the co-main
42:17will feature

42:22WA and
42:23WBO
42:23cruiserweight
42:24titles
42:25here's
42:28and here's
42:30here's Colwell
42:31Looks long for Madueke, who's had some joy in this first half,
42:36but hasn't exactly gone to plan for the Chelsea No. 11.
42:41I think if they want to see the game off,
42:42they'll look a lot quicker, this Chelsea side.
42:45They've got to start the ball in behind those areas and put pressure on.
42:52Just had to see from that touch there by Eddie Segura
42:55that they don't look too comfortable when the ball's at their feet
42:57as he loses out here to Nicholas Jackson.
42:59He'll have certainly been worried when he saw Liam De Lappe
43:11take the No. 9 shirt for Chelsea this season, Nicholas Jackson.
43:17I think for many, this tournament will be a test
43:21for who starts that first Premier League game, De Lappe or Jackson.
43:24Well, I think they needed another No. 9, that was for certain.
43:26I think he's a smart move today.
43:29I said it yesterday, I think.
43:30Don't just put De Lappe in the first game, I think.
43:33Just leave it as is and just filter him in and make it a fair opportunity.
43:40He did talk about whoever works the hardest in his squad in the press conference.
43:45I felt like that was a little bit open-ended.
43:46I've seen certainly players who are more physically adapt,
43:50who work harder and don't necessarily get in the team.
43:52So, I think you have to be careful with that sort of comment
43:56in regards to who's going to win the place.
44:00Well, I mean, they clearly really like Nicholas Jackson at Chelsea.
44:03They signed him to an eight-year deal back in 2023,
44:06which was then extended by another two years, Nicholas Jackson.
44:10So, it's not like he's going to go anywhere anytime soon,
44:13and I'm sure he'd love to be the first choice.
44:16Centre-forward for Enzo Maresca in this upcoming Premier League campaign.
44:2113 goals in, 34 appearances in all competition,
44:26maybe just not quite good enough for a side
44:29that Chelsea want to be, which is competing for everything,
44:35including that Premier League title.
44:45Final minute of the first half.
44:47Chelsea won LAFC mil.
44:50Palmer.
44:51away from Delgado.
44:54Very stylish manner.
44:58Neto.
45:00Sees four in the middle.
45:01Palmer's one of them, it's called Palmer.
45:03Can't get a strike away cleanly.
45:05As Long thumps it away forward to Ebi Bisse,
45:07and Colwell just defending on the foot.
45:10It can really please Enzo Maresca at this...
45:12this stage of the half.
45:15He's been comfortable, stepped in.
45:18Aggressive.
45:19Two centre-backs, to be honest,
45:20wherever possible.
45:22Had nothing really much to do, but when they have had any contact,
45:26they've read it right, they've stepped in at the right distance,
45:29at the right time.
45:31So important.
45:31That's loose, though, from Lavia.
45:33Ebi Bisse, who wants to chop down by Tosin Anderibayu.
45:37Held his hand in the air immediately after going to ground, and if you're a centre-back going to ground trying to make a tackle on a centre-forward and you don't get any of the ball, you're almost definitely going to get a yellow card.
45:47As a couple of minutes goes on at the end of this first half.
45:49So, yeah, I think, as a midfielder, you put your defenders in a position, got to recover quickly, he didn't really commit too much in the challenge, he actually slipped, tried to get the ball, and at the end, we really need to see yellow cards, it was a free kick enough, but you've got to be tighter, the midfielder Chelsea, not giving the ball away, especially late stages now that gives them a half-chance.
46:15The delivery's got to be really, really good, an opportunity, a really high line from Chelsea, but can they capitalise on it?
46:25It's a difficult position to take a free kick from here, especially when there's such a high line.
46:31They're going to have to come up with something a little bit more creative than sending it into the penalty area.
46:35That's what they do anyway, it's Buonga, comes to the back post, and it's a left-footed volley by Ebi Bisse, he didn't really strike it with much conviction, but the flag goes up against.
46:46The LAFC forward, either way.
46:51Told you they needed to do something a bit more creative.
46:53Yeah, it was, you used that back post, I think that's the point, you could get a slight block on the end of the line, and Holling's head could get in and get a touch, but didn't get to that.
47:06Now Chelsea decide, we're not going to play out.
47:08I'm just going to see that first half away, and I think overall I think they'd be pleased, both managers won't be too disappointed.
47:18I think from an LA perspective, they certainly say they've moved the ball, they've limited Chelsea to only a couple of opportunities, and it's the start of the campaign for Chelsea.
47:28Here's Jackson, he's looked really impressive in this first half, as has Madueke.
47:34And they've got time for one more ball into the box, they do, it's Madueke to the back post, it's over everybody.
47:40Neto will get there, up against Holling's head.
47:46Neto, against California, Holling's head.
47:51Here's Buonga, Neto just charging down the ball, with plenty of energy, as the referee's whistle blows for half-time.
47:59And it's been an impressive first half from Chelsea, they've not blown anybody away, they've been the better side, but there's a few words.
