Enzo Maresca's Chelsea dispatched LAFC in their Club World Cup opener with relative ease despite some frustrating moments at times.
Chelsea dominated possession for most of the first half, but were wasteful in the final third. LAFC, with whatever time on the ball they could muster, couldn't get things going consistently as Chelsea pressed well as a unit. LAFC often had entire entire team behind the ball to frustrate their Premier League opponents.
