His very memorable gig with his childhood club at Fluminense was made brighter by Pedro’s entry for Chelsea into the semi-finals of FIFA Club World Cup, 2025. The 22-year-old forward Pedro scored two scintillating goals in the match and paved the way for his new team CHELSEA to a devastating 2-0 victory. Always heady with hype and emotion, these games usually end with Pedro showing calmness and class, proving him yet again to be a big-game player with a phenomenal finishing ability. Scoring was not merely a goal but something beyond, the legacies of loyalty and another story that would become cherished memory to the player and to the club.
FIRST GOAL: CURLING EFFORT STUNNING IN 18TH MINUTE
Touching from the left side of the box, Pedro picked the curling effort to precision in the 18th minute; a fine shot straight into the net to hand Chelsea an early advantage.
SECOND GOAL: PURE CLASS FINISH IN 56TH MINUTE
The second goal came from a marvelous counterattack with Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, and then Pedro synchronously above the penalty area.
Disrespects for Former Club
On the score of his goal, Pedro did not celebrate. Instead, he folded his hands as in deep respect for his childhood club, Fluminense.
MATCH HEAT AND VAR CHECK
Fluminense was awarded a penalty after Trevoh Chalobah, during the flow of the match, handled the ball, which was the referee’s decision but overturned on going upstairs to the VAR.
Heat in and excitement of the audience
It became a completely different story by the time the game kicked off, where 70,556 people packed the stadium caused biennial temperatures to soar near 34 degrees Celsius; a stadium rumored to sink ticket prices from $473 to $13.
Biggest try of Fluminense
The biggest chance for Fluminense came just after that score when Marc Cucurella heroically cleared the ball off the goal line in the 27th minute.
Thiago Silva’s last match?
Meanwhile, Thiago Silva, an old stalwart, now aged 40, had hardly been much of a fixture at Chelsea. He could only prevent Pedro from tapping it in at gol against the club that was longest and deepest in his heart.
Chelsea enter finals for second time
Yet, Chelsea again stands at the threshold of the Club World Cup final to attempt to grab the trophy for the second time since 2021.
European motto retains its priority
In the collection of 17 editions of the Club World Cup, it is under this motto that Europeans have maintained 16 trophies within their symbolic trophy cabinets. Only Corinthians made it to this record in Brazil in 2012-and even defeated Chelsea to do it.
Conclusion
Joao Pedro’s two goals put Chelsea into the final tomorrow against Fluminense by a tally of 2-0. And now, it sets its sight toward taking high possession of the Club World Cup trophy in years 2025, among further chances to make history.
