On Wednesday (August 30), Chelsea is set to take on AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup 2nd Round. The match will be held at Stamford Bridge, where the English Premier League team will face off against Wimbledon, currently competing in League Two, the 4th tier of English football. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 pm BST. For those in India, the match will start at 00:15 am IST on the early hours of Thursday (August 31).
Chelsea’s season has begun with a topsy-turvy twist, prompting them to kickstart their EFL Cup journey from the 2nd round due to missing out on European spots. The team is currently grappling with a slew of injuries, with key players like Armando Broja (Knee), Benoit Badiashile (Groin), Christopher Nkunku (Knee), and Mykhailo Mudryk (Knock) all sidelined as they prepare for their upcoming fixture.
The game kicked off with the visitors displaying their vigor, securing an early advantage by converting a penalty opportunity in the 18th minute.
Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez collided with Harry Pell while attempting to clear a free-kick. James Tilley capitalized on the situation and successfully scored by shooting the ball down the center of Sanchez’s goal. Chelsea also managed to equalize just before halftime with a penalty kick after Noni Madueke was fouled by Alex Pearce. The winger, Noni Madueke, confidently converted the penalty by sending Alex Bass, the opposing goalkeeper, in the opposite direction.
