Goals from Reece James, Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall saw Chelsea make it to the next round, where they will play Estevao Willian’s Palmeiras.

While Enzo Maresca‘s men won the chaotic game by a three-goal margin in the end, it was a tight affair.

Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin really made life difficult for Chelsea until James was finally able to break the deadlock. Right now, Chelsea are being linked with Marc-Andre ter Stegen and other shot-stoppers, but in the past they have actually shown interest in Trubin.

Had Trubin been in Chelsea’s side on Saturday and Benfica had another goalkeeper, the Blues probably would have won their Club World Cup tie much sooner.

Before James’ goal, which Trubin should have perhaps prevented, the 23-year-old was excellent. The likes of Neto, Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella could not find a way past him.

In total, Trubin finished the game with seven saves to his name and had some really bright moments. However, the Ukrainian will feel that he certainly could have done much better with Nkunku’s goal.
