Chelsea will play in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup on Tuesday after overcoming Brazilian side Palmeiras in Philadelphia on Friday night.
The Blues needed a late own goal, scored by Agustin Giay, to see off impressive opposition, led by Estevao Willian playing in his final game for Palmeiras before moving to Stamford Bridge.
Cole Palmer fired Chelsea in front in the 16th minute before Estevao equalised with a stunning finish from a narrow angle early in the second half.
But Enzo Maresca's men eventually prevailed after Malo Gusto's heavily deflected effort hit the net seven minutes from time.
