Chelsea, Fluminense win to reach Club World Cup semi-finals

Chelsea are through to the semi-final of the Club World Cup after a 2-1 win over Palmeiras on Saturday.

A shot by Malo Gusto from the right side deflected off Palmeiras’ Richard Rios and Giay. Goalkeeper Weverton was unable to control the caroming ball before it went into the net.
