Chelsea secured a hard-fought victory in the UEFA Champions League today, edging past SL Benfica with a narrow 1–0 win at Stamford Bridge.
The decisive moment came in the 17th minute when Chelsea benefited from an own goal by Benfica’s Richard Rios, giving the home side an early lead that they managed to defend for the remainder of the match.
Despite several yellow cards issued throughout the game—including bookings for Chelsea's Enzo Fernández, Facundo Buonanotte, and João Pedro—the Blues maintained composure and control, finishing with 55% possession and a solid defensive display.
This result marks Chelsea’s first win in the group stage of the 2025/26 Champions League season, offering a much-needed boost after a mixed start to their campaign.
