Delap Notches First for Chelsea as Club Eases Into Club World Cup Last 16

Chelsea defeated Esperance 3-0 on June 24, 2025, in Philadelphia to secure a place in the Club World Cup round of 16.
Chelsea's victory followed a 3-1 loss to Group D leader Flamengo, placing Chelsea second with six points, one behind Flamengo.
Tosin Adarabioyo headed home from Enzo Fernández’s free kick during first-half stoppage time to give Chelsea the lead, with Liam Delap following up two minutes later to score his debut goal for the club, and Tyrique George sealing the victory with a late goal.
Manager Enzo Maresca implemented squad rotation in response to the intense heatwave and a congested match schedule, noting that it’s unfeasible to compete every three days under such demanding conditions, while also commending Delap for consistently being well-positioned to score.
Chelsea will face Group C winners Benfica in the last 16 in Charlotte, North Carolina, in a match that could lead to a quarterfinal against Brazilian clubs Palmeiras or Botafogo.
