Espérance Sportive - Chelsea 0:3

Chelsea have secured their place in the knockout stage of the FIFA Club World Cup with a commanding 3–0 victory over Tunisia’s Espérance Sportive de Tunis.

It wasn’t a contest that required fireworks from the London giants, but when the moment came, they struck ruthlessly. Espérance held their shape for most of the first half, showing defensive discipline and glimpses of promise in possession. But the resilience cracked just before the break.

Two quickfire goals from Chelsea before halftime – both showcasing the Premier League side's class and clinical edge – effectively killed off the tie. The Tunisian champions simply couldn’t recover from the double blow, and the second half turned into a training-ground exercise for the Blues.
