1-0
- Dewsbury-Hall (38 ')
Match report
The blues put on the damage in Stockholm in the first stage, earned a 5-1 aggregated victory and achieved their place in the showpiece in Wroclaw on 28 May.
It took until the 28th minute for the first attempt by the Target attempt from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who forced a smart rescue by Jacob Rinne.
Tyrique George then forced another stop from the visiting goalkeeper, but the 19-year-old played a crucial role in handing over the side of Enzo Maresca in the 38th minute.
After a neat turn in midfield, George Dewsbury-Hall sent on the road, with the midfielder switching the ball on his left side before stroking the ball from the post and in the neat.
George remained a threat to Chelsea and should have continued his team after the break, but somehow missed a header up close, although the offside flag on the other side saved the teenager's blush.
Dewsbury-Hall then shot over before Filip Jorgensen was forced into his first remarkable salvation on the other hand, to tilt from the fierce attack by Daniel Stenson remotely.
But with the already won draw, Maresca chose to make various changes and introduced both Genesis Antwi and Shumaira Mheuka, who made an impression during their replacement cameor.
Malo Gusto almost finished the draw with a stunning solo goal, but his left strike was tipped over the bar by Rinne in the first minute of the second half of the stop time.
Data Debrief: Dewsbury-Hall leads young blues to victory
