KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL SCORED THE ONLY GOAL OF THE MATCH
CHELSEA MADE 559 PASSES WITH AN 89% PASS ACCURACY (WITH 54% POSSESSION), IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST FC COPENHAGEN YESTERDAY. THEY ALSO HAD 11 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET, INCLUDING EXCITING NEAR-MISSES FROM COLE PALMER IN THE SECOND-HALF, (WHICH WENT SLIGHTLY WIDE OF THE POST), AND JADON SANCHO FROM A DISTANCE, PLUS NKUNKU FROM AN ANGLE, BUT COPENHAGEN’S GOALKEEPER RAMAJ WAS READY-AND-A-WAITING FOR ALL CHALLENGES, UNTIL KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL TOOK HIM UNAWARES AT 55 MINS, WITH AN ABSOLUTE CRACKER! COPENHAGEN MADE 465 PASSES WITH AN 86% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 10 SHOTS WITH 1 ON TARGET, BUT WITH KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL’S GOAL REMAINING THE ONLY GOAL OF THE MATCH, IT ENDED WITH CHELSEA WINNING 1 – 0 ( 3 – 1 ON AGGREGATE.) CHELSEA NOW MOVE INTO THE CONFERENCE LEAGUE QUARTER FINALS!
AFTER THE MATCH, ENZO MARESCA SAID THAT ALL WENT TO PLAN
“THE FIRST AND SECOND LEG WERE SIMILAR. WE PLANNED TO ANALYSE AND THEN PUSH IN THE SECOND HALF IN BOTH MATCHES.”
