Porto 0-1 Chelsea: Mason Mount scores first Champions League goal

Chelsea bounced off a few days of testing and won the first leg of the quarterfinals, which beat Porto in the Champions League.

Ben Chilwell added in the second half, shortly after the replacement Christian Pulisic hit the bar after Corona’s mistake.

Chelsea scored five goals against West Brom and created a stubborn defensive performance to achieve the seventh shutout in nine European games this season.

An important block of skipper Cesar Azpilicueta denied Corona before Edouard Mendy locked out Pepe’s header.

At Ramon Sanchez-Fan Stadium in Seville, Spain, with both feet of this tie due to restrictions on the movement of the coronavirus between Portugal and the United Kingdom, this was Porto’s “home” game. In short, Chelsea’s two away goals put him in pole position before his second leg next Tuesday.

Resilient Chelsea show their grit

This was the perfect reaction by Chelsea after the embarrassment of last weekend-a resilient, determined professional performance against the team that eliminated Juventus in the previous round.

Tuchel responded by making five changes to West Brom’s Shuraba, with Rudiger among the recalled ones, despite the “hot” line with Arrizabalaga.

Rudiger played his role in the impressive Chelsea rearguard display, and Porto opened up several opportunities without finding a way.

Mendy used his feet to lock out Moussa Marega, and Luis Diaz, who played against Manchester City on the group stage, approached from outside the penalty area.

Meanwhile, Timo Werner and Azpilikueta have a chance to extend the lead after Chilwell’s decisive second (composed finish after plunging into the penalty area) scored Mount before giving a handsome victory to his side. I missed.
