The Chelsea beat Fluminense 2-0 and got into the Final of the Club World Cup thanks, above all, to a stellar afternoon by João Pedro. The Brazilian fulfilled the law of the ex and marked the two goals of the game, in his first ownership as a 'Blue' player. He was the man of the game: precise, cold and lethal when the ball came.

The duel started with a Fluminense that tried to impose his style, playing from behind and looking for Cano and Arias to surprise. However, the plan lasted little. At the 18th minute, João Pedro hunted a loose ball on the front, he made space and released an impossible right for Fabio. Chelsea hit first and from there he felt more comfortable.

Before the break, the Brazilian team had his best chance: Hercules met Robert Sánchez's bad departure, but Cucurella saved under the goal line and avoided the tie. Fluminense went to the costumes with the feeling that the game escaped, unable to impose the rhythm that led them to the semifinals.

In the second half, Chelsea maintained control and João Pedro reappeared. In the 57th minute, he repeated the formula: he received with space, cut and took out another shot that played in the crossbar before entering. 2-0 and almost sentenced party. Not even the offensive changes of Renato Gaúcho changed the story. Fluminense did not find a way to overcome the rival defense.

Chelsea, meanwhile, closed rows with trade. Thiago Silva highlighted in defense, with providential cuts before his exequipo, and a tireless cucurella that was key in both areas. Fluminense barely generated real danger beyond some distant shot and centers that found no auctioneer.

With this triumph, the 'blues' won the pass to the final. João Pedro consecrated himself as an unexpected hero to the club where he formed, without celebrating either of his two goals, but making it clear that he is ready to be the protagonist. Fluminense, on the other hand, says goodbye with the feeling that he could compete more, but did not have how to stop the talent and the stick of Chelsea.
