Chelsea has taken a significant step towards winning silverware with a narrow 1-0 win over Djurgarden in the Conference League semi-final. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s first-half strike sealed the tie for the Blues, who won 5-1 on aggregate. The win marks a dominant performance by Chelsea, who have been impressive in the competition.
The match was a formality for Chelsea, who controlled the tempo and territory from the opening whistle. Manager Enzo Maresca’s decision to rest key senior figures such as Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson did not affect the team’s performance, as the younger players stepped up to the challenge.
Dewsbury-Hall’s goal in the 38th minute was the decisive moment in the match. Tyrique George’s sublime pass unlocked the Djurgarden defense, and Dewsbury-Hall finished with aplomb, driving his effort low into the corner.
The goal effectively ended any hope Djurgarden had of mounting a comeback, and Chelsea were able to coast through the remainder of the contest. The win marks a significant achievement for Chelsea, who have been dominant in the competition.
