Chelsea avoided any scares and comfortably dispatched ES Tunis 3–0 to move on to the round of 16 in the Club World Cup.
Needing only a draw to advance, Chelsea didn't allow any nerves to creep in and essentially ended the game with two late first half goals. Tosin Adarabioyo headed in the Blues' opener before Liam Delap opened his Chelsea account with a smooth move and finish.
The Blues controlled proceedings in the second half, offering rest to key players before academy graduate Tyrique George added a third to complete a mature performance from Enzo Maresca's side.
Despite finishing second in the group behind Flamengo, Chelsea might've gotten the easier side of the bracket. The Blues avoided Bayern Munich and will play Benfica in the round of 16 and would face the winner of Botafogo vs. Palmeiras were they to advance to the quarterfinals.
For now, tonight was by far Chelsea's best performance of the tournament, one that should serve as a building block for what's to come.
