Chelsea struggled in the first half, failing to register a single shot on target as FC Copenhagen dominated possession and controlled the tempo of the game. However, the introduction of Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella at the start of the second half injected fresh energy into the team.

The Blues eventually broke the deadlock with a stunning goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Despite FC Copenhagen’s determined efforts to stage a comeback, Chelsea held firm to secure the victory.
