Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella produced a decisive goal-line clearance to keep the Premier League club 1–0 ahead of Brazil’s Fluminense 25 minutes into their FIFA Club World Cup semifinal in New Jersey on Tuesday. Fluminense forward Hércules exchanged passes with Germán Cano, rounded goalkeeper Robert Sánchez and appeared certain to level the match, only for Cucurella to sprint back and hook the ball away inches before it crossed the line. The intervention preserved Chelsea’s lead and bolstered the English side’s push for a place in the tournament final.
