Chelsea 1 - 1 Palmeiras

77 mins: Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both taken off by Thomas Tuchel with Saul Niguez and Timo Werner coming on. Chelsea will now have more pace up top and Saul will bolster the midfield.

Less than 15 minutes to go.

Chelsea 1 - 1 Palmeiras

74 mins: Chance! N’Golo Kante receives the ball in midfield and drives to the box. He gives it to Romelu Lukaku who lays it off to Pulisic. He runs onto a shot and guides it towards the far bottom corner only to put the effort agonisingly wide of goal!

72 mins: Danilo nicks the ball off Kovacic and drives at the box. He shimmies away from Rudiger and slides the ball to Veiga who shoots first time. He doesn’t connect well with the effort and Edouard Mendy is left with an easy save.

67 mins: The South American side are on the front foot now. The win a corner kick and Scarpa swings it into the middle of the box. Chelsea scramble to win the initial ball and it bobbles out to Hudson-Odoi who manages to boot it clear.

Thomas Tuchel doesn’t look all that pleased in the dugout.

Penalty to Palmeiras!

Chelsea 1 - 0 Palmeiras

63 mins: A long throw comes into the Chelsea box. Thiago Silva leaps into the air and knocks the ball down with his left hand. It seems accidental but his armwas away from his body. The ball dropped for Dudu who had his shot on the spin stopped by Mendy.

VAR takes a look, calls the referee over to the monitor and he points to the spot after looking at the replay.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Palmeiras

60 mins: As things stand Chelsea would become only the third English team to win this competition after Manchester United and Liverpool. The Blues already look sharper and more electric in their passing.

Palmeiras haven’t changed a great deal, they’re still set up defensively but Ze Rafael has been replaced with Jailson.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Palmeiras

57 mins: Chance! Christian Pulisic brings the ball inside from the right wing and space opens up in front of him to shoot. He hits a left-footed shot from just outside the box and fires it narrowly wide of the back post. Chelsea look more confident now that goal has been scored.

GOAL! Chelsea 1 - 0 Palmeiras (Lukaku, 54’)⚽️

54 mins: Glorious! Mateo Kovacic drives the ball down the inside left channel and once again plays it out wide to Callum Hudson-Odoi. He’s struggled with his crosses into the box tonight but this one is perfect. Floated in with enough pace to beat the first defenders but leave Romelu Lukaku with time to hang in the air. He meets the ball with a powerful header and leaves Weverton no chance to stop it! Great goal from the Blues. It could turn out to be a vital one too.
