João Pedro scored twice, just six days after signing for Chelsea, as his new team booked its spot in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Fluminense at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.
Pedro opened the scoring just 18 minutes into his first start, curling home from just outside the box.
The Brazilian then doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 56th minute as his powerful effort clipped the bar and went into the Fluminense net to cap off a swift counterattack.
Chelsea will now face either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday’s final, with the two European giants playing in the tournament’s other semifinal on Wednesday. (CNN)
