(Football result) - Utilizing their numerical superiority, Chelsea comfortably defeated Ajax by a large margin of 5-1.
From the 15th minute, the match's intensity rose sharply. After the referee consulted VAR regarding Kenneth Taylor's (Ajax) harsh tackle, the initial yellow card decision was overturned, and instead, the player received a straight red card, leaving the field in the 17th minute. Ajax playing with one less player so early allowed Chelsea to quickly dominate and control the game.
Chelsea immediately capitalized on their numerical advantage to start their goal-scoring spree. In the 18th minute, Marc Guiu tapped in from close range following a headed assist by Wesley Fofana, opening the score at 1-0. By the 27th minute, Moises Caicedo fired a long-range shot that was deflected, leaving goalkeeper Remko Pasveer helpless as the ball went into the net, extending the lead to 2-0.
However, Ajax unexpectedly pulled one back to make it 2-1 in the 33rd minute with a precise finish by Wout Weghorst. Still, Chelsea quickly restored their two-goal cushion: Enzo Fernandez scored into the right corner in the 45th minute to make it 3-1, and in stoppage time at 45+6, Estêvão added another goal, increasing the gap to 4-1. The first half ended with Chelsea holding a significant advantage.
In the second half, Chelsea maintained their dominant attacking play. Just in the 48th minute, substitute Tyrique George received the ball unmarked and unleashed a shot from the edge of the box that was deflected, sealing a crushing 5-1 victory for Chelsea. For the remainder of the match, Chelsea controlled possession and made substitutions to conserve energy. The game concluded with a final score of 5-1 in favor of Chelsea.
