The logic, almost relentless, was respected this Monday in Miami, the scene of the club World Cup match between Chelsea and the Los Angeles FC. Despite some offensive flask, the Californians bowed to their London counterparts (2-0).
After having rejected the first assaults of the blues as he could, Lloris gave in shortly after the half hour of play, surprised by a Neto then served by Jackson (1-0, 34e). In the second period, Fernandez brought the blow of grace to a Delap offering (2-0, 79e). And this despite the good entry into the game of Giroud at the break.
Thus launched, Chelsea takes control of group D pending debates between Flamengo and ES Tunis in the night. As a reminder, the first two of this hen will meet in the round of 16 with the two survivors of group C. That of Bayern, Benfica, Boca Juniors and Auckland.
