Garnacho scores again.

In the early hours of December 17th, the Argentinian striker scored a brace in Chelsea's 3-1 victory over Cardiff in the League Cup quarter-finals.

After seven consecutive goalless matches, Alejandro Garnacho marked an impressive return with two goals after coming on as a substitute. Unlike his usual missed opportunities in front of wide-open goal, the young Argentinian star produced two skillful and precise finishes from tight angles, helping the Premier League side become the first club to reach the League Cup semi-finals.

With a heavily rotated starting lineup compared to the Everton game, Chelsea faced considerable difficulties in the first half. Against the fervent atmosphere at Cardiff City Stadium, the home team started confidently and created the first dangerous opportunities. Meanwhile, "The Blues" controlled possession more but lacked sharpness, managing only one shot on target before halftime.

The turning point came in the second half when Maresca brought on Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro. This change quickly paid off. In the 57th minute, Garnacho capitalized on a good pressing situation to finish accurately, opening the scoring for Chelsea. However, Cardiff didn't give up and were rewarded with an equalizer from David Turnbull after a precise header, rekindling hope for the home team.

Cardiff's joy was short-lived. In the 82nd minute, Pedro Neto's shot deflected off an opposing defender's leg and into the net, restoring Chelsea's lead. In injury time, Garnacho completed his brace, sealing a 3-1 victory for the visitors.
