The EFL Cup 1 4 finals have a match in which Chelsea, a giant with a total value of up to 1 billion euros, hosts Newcastle United. In the first half, Conor Gallagher hit the crossbar, Wilson slotted home and Raheem Sterling fired low wide, and Armando Broja was whistled for a goal. In the second half, Jacquesson fired low wide, Raheem Sterling saved from goalkeeper and Mykhailo Mudryk equalised in stoppage time. In the shoot-out, Chelsea scored both and Newcastle conceded two. In the end, Chelsea beat Newcastle United 5-3 to reach the semi-finals.
Just two minutes into the game, Caicedo was booked for a foul while defending. Getting a yellow card so early is a bad thing and means he has to be careful to avoid being sent off for another yellow card. Four minutes later, Chelsea came close to scoring. Conor Gallagher took a shot from the edge of the box and the ball bounced off the crossbar. Newcastle United escaped.
In the 16th minute, Chelsea conceded a goalBadiashile made an unbelievably low mistake and Wilson had a one-on-one chance and he scored with easeChelsea collapsed. Such a mistake is really unbelievable. In the 22nd minute, Palmer shook off the angle at the edge of the penalty area and volleyed into the near corner, but the goalkeeper fell to the ground and confiscated the ball. Five minutes later, Raheem Sterling fired a low shot into the far corner after a wall link with his team-mate on the left side of the box, but the ball went just wide, which was a bit of a pity. Raheem Sterling then had another good chance when his shot from the centre of the box was blocked.
Chelsea added to the problem in the 32nd minute, with Enzo off injured and Armando Broja coming off the bench. Sterling then dribbled the ball in the box and fell to the ground after a physical collision with his opponent, which the referee ignored. Four minutes later, Badiashile made another low-level mistake when Badiashile passed the ball to his opponent at the back, but fortunately did not concede a goal. In the 37th minute, Armando Broja scored with a one-handed shot, but the goal was invalidated because of offside. At half-time, Chelsea were 1-0 down.
In the second half, Chelsea made a substitution, with Gusto coming off the bench and Colwill coming on. In the 52nd minute, Gordon was injured and could not hold on and was replaced. Three minutes later, Jacquesson turned and fired a low shot from inside the box, which was deflected wide. Then, Sterling's low shot from inside the box was saved by the goalkeeper, and it was too helpless. In the 69th minute, Pochettino brought on Nkunku to replace Jacquesson.
Five minutes later, Raheem Sterling drove the ball to the edge of the box and then distributed it to Nkunku on the left, who didn't stop and wasted a good chance. Pochettino then sent on Maatsen and Mykhailo Mudryk. In stoppage time, Mykhailo Mudryk seized his chance to equalise. This goal is too important. Draw in regulation time and go to penalties. In the shoot-out, Chelsea scored all of them, while Newcastle United conceded two. In the end, Chelsea eliminated Newcastle United 5-3 to reach the semi-finals.
