It's over on the far side here for Chelsea, not many white shirts getting back at pace.
But the blue shirts, they foot forward at pace.
Jackson, clever turn, gets the shot away.
Well held by Hugo Lloris.
Well, it was a great breakaway,
Maidu Eke just turning on the afterburners, finding Jackson,
and he was just off balance as he took that shot, Michael.
Yeah, brilliant turn into that area, just stuck a leg out.
Tillman to Palencia.
It's Caicedo who makes the tackle on the LA midfielder.
Jackson, clever footwork, that's brilliant.
It's Maidu Eke, saved by Lloris.
Palma's there as well.
But the play there on the edge of the penalty area,
between Maidu Eke and Jackson, was brilliant.
He had some good movement here,
Kukurela reads it though, he's not quick enough.
Stepping into the midfield, Mark Kukurea,
very well done.
That's very well done as well by Nicholas Jackson.
Pedro Neto, is this the chance?
It's Neto, sends one defender on the floor,
and finds the bomb corner!
Initially nicks it, and then the ball in behind was just being key.
They tried it the other time with Kai,
he said it's this little chop here, that's the real quality.
He's got options on the far side, but decides to go near post.
It's real quality, the touch is perfect,
and the awareness, it just puts it into that near post.
Off he goes, celebrating with a real quality finish.
Disguised, has a real aura about his play,
and the finish tells you everything about what he's got.
Palma.
Neto skips away from his man and finds a cross in,
there's the header, and it's off the line!
And it somehow squirms behind for another corner.
And goodness me, you can't get much closer than that.
Pedro Neto's got some defending to do here,
it's a long ball over the top, it's Dennis Buonga.
Chance for L.A.! Saved by Sanchez.
Well, it's the one-man wrecking machine, Dennis Buonga,
who found the space and just shrugged away Pedro Neto,
who's caught out in a defensive position.
Neto near him, Delap making a run as well, goes untracked.
Delap sends in an early cross, they're not ready at the back for L.A.!
Last game in the Conference League final.
Now he's got their second goal in their first game of the Club World Cup.
All the space here for L.A.! FC to pull straight back into it,
Sanchez with the save, tossing away.
And they're claiming a penalty.
