Chelsea Advances to Europa Conference League Final with Victory Over Djurgården

Posted on May 09, 2025

Chelsea secured their place in the Europa Conference League final after a 1-0 victory against Djurgården, culminating in a 5-1 aggregate win over the Swedish side. The match took place at Stamford Bridge, where Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal in the 38th minute. Receiving a well-placed pass from Tyrique George, Dewsbury-Hall skillfully rounded two defenders before finding the net with a left-footed shot.

Despite fielding a youthful and second-string team, Chelsea maintained control throughout the match, demonstrating the clear quality gap between the two sides. Head coach Enzo Maresca opted to rest key players as the team juggles its commitment to the Premier League while chasing Champions League qualification. Among the youngsters was 16-year-old Reggie Walsh, who made his first start for the club, showcasing the talent emerging from Chelsea's academy.

The match saw Djurgården's supporters remain vocally supportive, but they could only muster a few scoring opportunities, the best of which came in the 71st minute when Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen tipped a shot from Daniel Stensson over the bar. Reflecting on the victory, Dewsbury-Hall expressed excitement about reaching the final, emphasizing that the team is eager to lift the trophy in what has been a challenging season.

Chelsea will face Real Betis in the final, scheduled for May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland, where they will be aiming to secure their first trophy of the season.
