Johor Darul Ta'zim 3:3 Chelsea — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Liam Delap struck twice for Chelsea as they played out a frenetic 3-3 draw with Johor Darul Ta'zim in a Club Friendly Game, the forward's brace rescuing a result that sets up nothing further on the immediate horizon. Chelsea had trailed from the 14th minute but twice led through Delap, only to be pegged back in a chaotic final quarter-hour.

Arif Aiman Hanapi opened the scoring with Marcos Guilherme providing the assist, but Delap levelled just before half-time and then put Chelsea ahead on 62 minutes. Johor responded within three minutes through Óscar Arribas Pasero, and Bergson appeared to have won it on 86 minutes before Cristian Glauder snatched a late equaliser for the visitors. The contest was littered with eight yellow cards, including one for Delap and a first-half booking for Eddy İsrafilov.

Chelsea controlled the ball with 60% possession and fired 17 shots to Johor's 11, though the hosts were the better side in both halves according to the pressure data, outplayed yet saved by efficiency. Liam Delap was the standout with a rating of 8.1, his two goals from the forward position proving decisive in a game Chelsea should have won on the numbers. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Johor Darul Ta'zim, and the draw proved it wrong, with the live signals backing Chelsea also losing.
