Controversy on the day Chelsea reached the Club World Cup final

In the early morning of July 9, the referee team denied Fluminense a penalty in the Brazilian representative's 0-2 loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup semi-finals.

In the 37th minute of the semi-final, Fluminense was awarded a free kick on the left wing. Hercules made a strong cross, the ball hit Trevoh Chalobah's hand.

Initially, the referee awarded the Brazilians a penalty. However, after consulting the slow-motion video , Mr. Francois Letexier made Chelsea fans burst into tears when he announced that he had reversed his previous decision. The "Blues" escaped a penalty because the referee determined that Chalobah's hand position was "natural".

Mr. Letexier's decision not only met with opposition from Fluminense fans but also from Chelsea fans. On many fanpages of the West London team, most fans breathed a sigh of relief and admitted that it was a situation that deserved to be penalized by Chalobah.

Fluminense missed the chance to equalize, and then officially collapsed at the beginning of the second half. Joao Pedro, a player who used to play for Fluminense, shone with a double, helping Chelsea win a ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup final for the third time in history. Pedro did not celebrate both times scoring against his former team.

Coach Enzo Maresca and his team will face either PSG or Real Madrid in the final. The match to determine the first champion of the new FIFA Club World Cup will take place at 2am on July 14 ( Hanoi time).
