Report
Om 12.45 uur trappen Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC en Chelsea FC af voor hun tweede wedstrijd in de groepsfase. In een doelpuntloze maar levendige eerste helft krijgen beide ploegen kansen, maar ontbreekt het aan scherpte voor het doel. Chelsea begint sterk met een kopkans van Chizaram Ezenwata uit een hoekschop, terwijl Jeonbuk via Jaejun Lee en Seungjoon Hwang gevaarlijk wordt, zonder resultaat.
Chelsea blijft aandringen met meerdere hoekschoppen, waaronder een vrije kopkans voor Mathis Eboue en een schot van Calvin Diakite net naast. Ook in de tweede helft begint Chelsea het meest dreigend, maar Ezenwata kan een voorzet van Gordon niet verzilveren. Nadat Hyunmin Park en Beomju Kim kansen missen voor Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, wordt Chelsea FC weer gevaarlijker. In eerste instantie is dat via een paar vrije trappen, die tot niets leiden.
Nadat Noh Jeonbuk op voorsprong moet brengen, maar oog-in-oog met keeper Austin faalt, is het Chelsea FC dat er in de slotfase met de overwinning vandoor gaat. Binnen anderhalve minuut zijn het Chizaram Ezenwata en Hezekiah Grimwade die voor de 2-0 eindstand zorgen en Chelsea FC de eerste punten in dit toernooi bezorgen.
Dit zorgt voor een spannende tussenstand in poule B, waarin de beslissing welke ploegen naar de kruisfinales gaan, later vanmiddag zal vallen.

English:
At 12:45 PM, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC and Chelsea FC kicked off their second match in the group stage. In a goalless but lively first half, both teams created chances, but lacked precision in front of goal. Chelsea started strongly with a headed opportunity from Chizaram Ezenwata following a corner, while Jeonbuk posed a threat through Jaejun Lee and Seungjoon Hwang, without scoring.
Chelsea continued to press with several corners, including a free header for Mathis Eboue and a shot from Calvin Diakite that went just wide. The second half also began with Chelsea looking the more dangerous side, but Ezenwata failed to convert a cross from Gordon. After Hyunmin Park and Beomju Kim missed chances for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, Chelsea regained momentum. Initially through a few free kicks, which led to nothing.
After Noh should have put Jeonbuk ahead but failed in a one-on-one with goalkeeper Austin, it was Chelsea FC who claimed victory in the final minutes. Within ninety seconds, Chizaram Ezenwata and Hezekiah Grimwade found the net to secure a 2–0 win and Chelsea FC’s first points of the tournament.
This result sets up a thrilling scenario in Group B, with the decision on which teams will advance to the knockout stage coming later this afternoon.
