The match began with Sandro Tonali netting his first goal for Spurs in the 21st minute, following his £100m transfer from Newcastle United. However, Chelsea quickly responded, with Estevao equalizing shortly after with a well-placed header.

Key moments in the match included:

Chelsea struggled to capitalize on their numerical advantage, managing only four shots on target, the same as Spurs. Antonin Kinsky played a key role in keeping the score level for Chelsea until the final moments.
