Chelsea secured their spot in the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals by defeating FC Copenhagen with a 3-1 aggregate score. After a 2-1 away victory in Denmark, they clinched a 1-0 win at home, thanks to a decisive goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
In the home leg, Chelsea’s first-half performance lacked creativity, failing to register any shots on target. The match turned in the second half when substitutes Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella injected energy into the team. Dewsbury-Hall capitalized on a defensive error by Copenhagen, skillfully maneuvering past defenders to score the only goal.
This victory extends Chelsea’s winning streak to four matches across all competitions. However, questions remain about their form under coach Enzo Maresca, with upcoming fixtures against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur expected to provide a clearer assessment.
Looking ahead, Chelsea will face Legia Warszawa in the quarter-finals, following Legia’s thrilling 4-3 aggregate win over Molde after extra time. Chelsea, considered strong contenders for the title, aim to advance to the final at Wroclaw Stadium on May 28.
