The Blues returned to European football in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, facing Swiss side Servette, who looked quite far ahead.

In the second half,
Chelsea were awarded a penalty when Christopher Nkunku broke into the penalty area and was caught by the goalkeeper, and the Frenchman converted from a set-piece before netting another goal through Noni Maduaque in the 76th minute, giving the Londoners the win and a goal advantage ahead of the second leg at Servette’s home next week.
Chelsea Player Ratings
Filip Jorgensen – 6.5/10
Throughout the game there wasn’t much of a challenge, except towards the end of the game when a teammate made a mistake and had to make a save, which he did very well.
Renato Vega – 6.5/10
Vega still needs some time to adapt to the สมัคร ufabet team. The player has the advantage of full passion and strong aggression in the tackle, but overall today he was not very smooth when playing as an invert.
Benoit Badiashile – 6.5/10
Still can’t be trusted as a regular defender, although he made a few interceptions today, he also made a lot of personal mistakes.
Tosin Adarabioyo – 6.5/10
Still looks confused about his positioning. Overall, he is quite responsible for his role. If he gets the right partner, he should be able to bring out his potential even more.
Axel Disasi – 6/10
Fit to return to action but was deployed at right-back, which is not his preferred position, and his performance today was lackluster in both attack and defense.
Moises Caicedo – 6/10
He controlled the game quite well, but if you look at the team that is much lower level, you have to improve your form more. Today, he got the ball a lot but didn’t have any good chances to pass.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 6.5/10
Did a good job of linking the play from defense to attack, but lacked decisiveness in the final third. I believe if he can adjust his rhythm he should be fine.
Mykhailo Mudryk – 6.5/10
This is probably the game that sums up Mudryk’s current skills, because the Ukrainian player is exciting and exciting, but always falls off the horse at the last moment. If he still can’t control himself, he is only suitable to be a spare part for the team.
Christopher Nkunku – 7/10
He was outstanding as a creative player and won and converted penalties for his team. Nkunku is more useful playing behind the forwards than on the wing.
Pedro Neto – 6/10
Today he was moved to play on the right wing and his performance was not very good. He could not dribble the ball and his shooting was not very sharp.
Mark Kiew – 6/10
Overall, he played fairly well. The only bad thing was when he was in front of an empty goal, which probably caused him to lose a lot of confidence from that moment.
Substitute
Noni Maduaake – (replaced Pedro Neto 57′) – 7/10
Came on as a substitute and scored a goal with some excellent finishing and a few winning dribbles. Overall he was in good form today against Neto.
Enzo Fernandez – (replaced Christopher Nkunku 57′) – 7.5/10 He
played very well today in defense, helping to run and crush the ball back for the team several times. In attack, he had a beautiful moment of lifting the ball to Madouake, who dribbled it and scored, getting 1 assist.
Cole Palmer – (replaced Mark Guew 57′) – 6.5/10
Played as a false striker and wasn’t very impressive. He tried to pass the ball to his teammates but it was too strong. When he tried to shoot, it didn’t escape the goalkeeper very much.
Malo Gusto – (replaced Axel Disasi 78′) – 6/10
Had a mistake that almost cost the team a goal.
Romeo Lavia – (replaced Moises Caicedo 84′) – N/A
