Highlights: Chelsea - Borussia Dortmund | Friendly Match 2023

Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea taking to the field in Chicago. A bumper crowd, as has been the case across this US tour. This final game of it for Chelsea. Dortmund have already beaten English opposition once this week. They're hoping to do so again today. The more temperate conditions that both these teams have been used to in America should be a lively game. Therefore, I'm sure also freshening the minds of those who were involved as that Champions League last 16 tie between these two earlier in the year. It's Chelsea 1-2-1 on aggregate. Chilwell, Jackson with the time to turn and feed it to Mkunku, great ball there. Here's Nicholas Jackson, good save. Player Mkunku feeling he was fouled and should have had a penalty. Play goes on, but another sign of the linkup between Mkunku and Jackson and a reason for Chelsea supporters to get excited for the new season. Yeah, such vibrancy about the two. Silver got on that one as well and at the back post, inexplicably, Levi Colwell lifts it over the bar rather than into the net. You can laugh about it because it's pre-season and that took some missing. Same combination, wasn't it? Silver thought for a moment that was going to be another goal. I think just got to be a little bit more on the front foot there, Levi Colwell. If he expects that, he can be arriving, maybe take it on the half-volley. One-on-one with Modric in the field to give it to Gallagher. Silver's clipped ball through the middle. Chilwell, the most advanced Chelsea man here, going to have a go as well. Ben Chilwell, really good effort. Angle was against him, managed to win a corner. Yeah, he's done that really well throughout his Chelsea career, Ben Chilwell, that position. James Fernandes, good run here from Sterling. Got support from Jackson as well. Sterling going for goal. The machine quest begins as to why he didn't try and pick out a colleague. He did well to fashion an opportunity because it was so congested over on the far side. Really clever from Enzo Fernandes to loft that into the path of Raheem Sterling. Just looking for that far corner. Straight through the middle for Jackson. Goalkeeper committed. Oh, and Jackson lifts it over the front to back in an instant there for Chelsea. Not particularly pretty, but nearly effective. It's a brilliant pass, it's a brilliant movement again. And once more, it's something Chelsea are going to have this season. Look at the movement. Would have been a fantastic goal had it found the net. Just couldn't steer it goalwards, wrap his right foot around it. Ball chipped forward toward the new man, Bamba. Bamba felt he was fouled there. Got it sourced by James, maybe a break on here. Jackson, Sterling's continued his run. In turning, managing to get the cross in as well. Really good ball it was too. Fernandes was the most advanced Chelsea player, couldn't quite get a toe to it. And it's good play from Jackson, Raheem Sterling with the initial pass. Really good ball. Shot was dragged a fair way wide of the goal by Bamba. 18 years of age, Samuel Bamba. He's doing well to win it back. Move forward again, Chocomeca finding Sterling. And Sterling's ball for Jackson. Can Jackson find the finish instead? He's unselfish and tees it up for Chocomeca. And somehow Dortmund able to get the block in. Still Chelsea come. James takes over. The six yard box too close to Maia. Another great opportunity. And actually gets crowded out a little bit, Chocomeca. Probably too critical of Jackson. Never really had it under his spell. Kept the move alive. Dortmund just have so many bodies back, it's difficult for Chocomeca to find the net. Might fancy a go here, Mikhailo Mudrik. Got the power, just like the accuracy. Here's Mudrik. Correa. Targets to pick out in the middle, including Mattson. That was a good block to stop his shot, which was goal bound. What a shame. Brilliant approach play. Down the left-hand side, Correa picks Mattson out here. Has a little look. Jackson. Nice turn. Got the power to carry it forward as well. It's brilliant from Jackson. Can he go all the way? He almost did, but Papadopoulos went to ground and won it back. Driven back in and the deflection allows it to be turned in from close range. And Dortmund take the lead. Marius Wolff, Chelsea waiting for a flag which didn't arrive and Wolff, the substitute, not long on to the pitch. Breaks the deadlock in Chicago. Makes it Chelsea 0, Borussia Dortmund 1. Turns it home really comfortably on his right side. Skipped up nicely onto the volley. Just pushed it to the left-hand side of Kepa. It's a really good delivery and at the back post, Levi Colwell couldn't turn it in. And you can't believe one of the Chelsea players at the near post haven't got a head on the ball. It's by the pitch. Dortmund have got it back. Breik as well and Kepa couldn't take a risk. Wolff with his confidence up, coming infield and it's the only place really on the target that he could find running away from goal. Just wrapping his left foot around it. There's a chance left. From Mudrick, they haven't got it away. Fernandes and that loops in for 1-1. Mason Berstow, a moment for the 19-year-old. With just a couple of minutes remaining, Chelsea do get the equaliser and it's Mason Berstow who makes it Chelsea 1, Borussia Dortmund 1. How brilliant. The goalscorer that you would have wanted, Chelsea Blue, that young man. He's got a touch to that, into the area behind the goal rather than into the back of the net. Not much involvement since he's come on. Correia looking to recycle, here's Mattson. Now Fernandes on the turn, any room for a shot, Enzo Fernandes. He almost won it right at the end. They worked it into the box really well there. Lovely stuff from Mudrick and just unfortunately Fernandes couldn't find either corner. Maybe just lost his bearing somewhat. Shame that it didn't end in a winner, but a really promising ending to the game, nonetheless for Chelsea. It was the last kick of the match. Finishes all square here then. Chelsea ended the tour having grabbed a late equaliser against Edin Terzic's Dortmund, who were ahead on 80 minutes through the substitute, Marius Wolf. But it was one of the Blues' young replacements who ensured that the pre-season didn't end in defeat. Mason Berstow's equaliser.
