A commitment in which <strong>Enzo Maresca<\/strong>&#8216;s team solved the process of the match with a pair of annotations, one in each half, to add the three points and become leaders of group D.<\/p>  <p>The Londoners, favorites by specific weight and history, arrived with the mission of prevailing in the match. However, they were not going to have it easy, since <strong>Steve Cherundolo<\/strong>&#8216;s team came out determined to face them and stand up to the &#8216;Blues&#8217;, who took time to get into the match, to the point that they would barely have their first serious chance at 16&#8242;, with a shot from <strong>Noni Madueke<\/strong> that <strong>Hugo Lloris<\/strong> repelled.<\/p>  <p>A declaration of intentions that minutes later would have a new impact, with <strong>Cole Palmer<\/strong> taking a left-footed shot with a spin at 19&#8242;, but it went slightly wide. Another warning from a <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> that, in the middle of the first half, already looked more tuned and with a lot of offensive vocation, although still far from 100% of its best level.<\/p>  <h2>Pedro Neto broke the LAFC wall<\/h2>  <p>It would not be until the 30th minute that <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> would manage to break the zero on the scoreboard. This time, the person in charge of billing the annotation would be the Portuguese winger <strong>Pedro Neto<\/strong>. The play started with <strong>Nico Jackson<\/strong> filtering a ball from the midfield area, gaining the back of right back <strong>Ryan Hollingshead<\/strong>, a pass that the Portuguese would receive in the right sector. With a very good technical gesture &#8211; a dry cut &#8211; he left his marker lying down and, taking advantage of the fact that the goal was close, he took a left-footed shot to the first post to beat <strong>Hugo Lloris<\/strong>.<\/p>  <div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DAZNFootball\/status\/1934697221137539498\"> <blockquote align=\"center\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"> <p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">33&#8242; \u26bd GOAL!

The Venezuelan <strong>David Mart\u00ednez<\/strong>, at 51&#8242;, pulling of mischief, left <strong>Marc Cucurella<\/strong> behind and, when he was in a goal position, took a shot with his right foot that went wide.<\/p>  <p>That was the first serious advance of <strong>LAFC<\/strong>, which decided to take more risks. They would also have another chance at 56&#8242;, courtesy of <strong>Denis Bouanga<\/strong>, who took advantage of a mistake by <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> to face <strong>Robert S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, and he, almost in extremis, took the ball out with his leg.<\/p>  <p>Two attempts to the account of the American team, against a reactive <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> and that, despite having chances with <strong>Cole Palmer<\/strong>, <strong>Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> and <strong>Liam Delap<\/strong>, left the feeling of being at half machine. In any carelessness, the score could be 1-1, as could have happened at 71&#8242; with a shot from <strong>Hollingshead<\/strong> that went just over the crossbar, or at 77&#8242;, with another from <strong>Bouanga<\/strong>. The goal seemed close&#8230;<\/p>  <p>But football is usually unpredictable, and that&#8217;s when the Londoners, pulling of hierarchy and when it seemed that it could be violated, put the 2-0 at 78&#8242;, courtesy of the Argentine <strong>Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>. The former River player, almost in a &#8216;9&#8217; position and arriving from the second line, capitalized a good cross into the area from the right sector by <strong>Liam Delap<\/strong> and plugged that ball at point-blank range, without <strong>Lloris<\/strong> being able to do much.<\/p>  <div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DAZNFootball\/status\/1934714426080240008\"> <blockquote align=\"center\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"> <p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">78&#8242; GOAL!
