Match Report: From Initial Mistakes to a Rout
The match began with Chelsea dominating but making mistakes. In the first 10 minutes, Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto had clear chances that they failed to convert. Even Reece James had a defensive scare when Liam Millar stole the ball from him in his own area, only to be saved by a timely block from Mamadou Sarr.
The lack of accuracy was alarming at times: Estevao missed a shot after eluding the goalkeeper and Liam Delap, incredibly, could not push the ball into the net after a rebound.

The Turning Point: The Neto Show
However, individual quality broke the ice.
- First: Neto opened the scoring before halftime with a cross shot from the edge of the area.
- The Olympic goal (almost): In the 50th minute, a "diabolical" corner kick from Neto went between the legs of goalkeeper Dillon Phillips for 2-0.
- The ruling: Estevao redeemed himself for his previous miss by scoring the third goal thanks to a great play by Delap.
- The Hat-Trick: Neto capped off his magical night in the 70th minute with a shot of pure instinct, again assisted by Delap.
