Chelsea cruised into the UECL Round of 16, securing a comfortable victory with three first-half goals in Kazakhstan.

Chelsea breezed through the freezing conditions on our farthest European trip yet. Marc Guiu’s early brace, including a stunning solo goal, set the tone. Renato Veiga added a powerful header from a Dewsbury-Hall corner, solidifying the dominant performance.

Marin Tomasov briefly halted Chelsea’s perfect group stage run with a fine goal, but the Blues comfortably secured their fifth win. Enzo Maresca provided opportunities for young talents like Ato Ampah, Shumaira Mheuka, Kiano Dyer, Samuel Rak-Sakyi, and Tyrique George.
