Watch the Game Highlights from Chelsea vs. Ajax, 10/22/2025
Transcript
00:00And there is a 16-year-old on Chelsea's bench as well in the highly rated Ryan
00:07Cavuma McQueen. Oscar Gluck will provide the link between midfield and an attack
00:13that is spearheaded by Wout Weghorst, a player who spent time in the Premier
00:17League with both Burnley and Manchester United waiting for Champions League
00:21semi-final back in 2019. Of course we all know how the second leg ended for
00:26Ajax. Here's Guyu and out comes Pazvir and that is his first significant piece of
00:32action tonight, the Ajax goalkeeper. Did well too, Renko Pazvir. That is what
00:40Mark Guyu will bring you though, can't panic the visitors slightly. Almost does
00:46feel like the script is there to be written tonight, that's an untidy
00:49challenge. It is going to be, it seems, a yellow card for Kenneth Taylor.
01:02There's a moment where the Chelsea reaction was, I want to suggest the colour of the
01:07car could have been different and indeed that may very well get reviewed because
01:12it is high on Fecundo Buonanotte from Kenneth Taylor.
01:27It doesn't go over the top of the ball, he goes round it, but it is a very, very nasty
01:34one on Buonanotte and I think Enzo Marescu has seen it and has seen it again on the replay
01:38and he is not happy.
01:46So for now at least it is just a yellow card for Kenneth Taylor, however it could be about
01:52to get worse because Felix Zvere has been sent to the screen here
01:56and yellow for Kenneth Taylor I think is about to become red.
02:05The Ajax captain is off.
02:09We've barely quarter of an hour played at Stamford Bridge.
02:12It's a moment where the Chelsea reaction was, I want to suggest the colour of the car could have
02:17been different and indeed that may very well.
02:28All the talk in recent days about red cards and Chelsea red cards and it's an Ajax one tonight,
02:34here's the chance and it's put in for the opening goal for Chelsea.
02:37Mark Guiu with the goal.
02:55Three Chelsea players at that back post, though arguably perhaps it shouldn't have reached them.
03:00The nod down from Fofana and it wasn't the cleanest finish from Guiu.
03:07But it was enough to beat the sprawling 41-year-old frame of Remco Pazwir.
03:15Deceived by the fact that Mark Guiu sent that ball into the grounds.
03:26Chelsea 1, Ajax 0.
03:34Kai Saylo urged to shoot, does shoot, deflected and in.
03:37Off shoot alone.
03:41And once more there was absolutely nothing that Pazwir could do about it.
03:48Did well Caicedo to get that ball out.
03:51And of course for Ajax here is Rao Moro.
03:55He's going to have to wait for Veckels to get himself into the box.
03:57Moro eventually tried to get it to him and it's a penalty.
04:00Moro caught after playing that ball.
04:06And it appears the offender and Tosin were very close to one another.
04:10It is actually the touch from Tosin.
04:16Landing right on the boot.
04:17And it's just about underneath Jorgensen.
04:26Who is carrying a face etched with disappointment, the Chelsea goalkeeper.
04:39Courtesy of Vout Beghels.
04:41We could almost hear his sigh of relief.
04:48And then a delicate touch by Buonanotto.
04:50Introducing Jamie Gittins, who has four Chelsea options in the box.
04:55Enzo Fernandes is one of them.
04:57And Enzo Fernandes is caught.
04:59And we have our second penalty of the game.
05:06Because Veckels clearly feels that he won the ball.
05:12Right on the stroke of half-time to re-establish a two-goal lead.
05:16Enzo Fernandes, smoothly done.
05:18And the returning Enzo Fernandes, who missed the game at the weekend because of a knee injury
05:28in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest.
05:31Macedo Esteval is stalking that right wing.
05:35And that's where the ball is going to go from Lavia.
05:39Esteval.
05:41That's a bit too strong for him, but then there was further contact.
05:44And we have our third penalty of this first half.
05:48Not given for that initial coming together.
05:52But it is the connection after that from the tricky...
05:58Here he comes then, the teenager Esteval.
06:03With a Champions League goal for Chelsea.
06:05What a messy night this is for Ajax already.
06:10It's the best penalty of them all so far.
06:15You won it, you have it.
06:18It was the last moment of the half.
06:21The last moment of a rather gut-wrenching half for Ajax and John Heisinger.
06:28And Chalabar, George and Andre Santos are on for this second half for Chelsea.
06:36Who have scored four goals in the first half of a vice chairman who was only right that it should carry his name.
06:45Though Chelsea's hardcore will know what an influence he has been.
06:48Here's the first chance of the second half, which has led to another Chelsea goal.
06:52Tyreek George straight off the bench and on the score sheet.
06:55It is another deflected goal.
06:59This time it is Lucas Rosa who is the unlucky party.
07:06Gittins.
07:09Pressure relentless on Ajax's defence.
07:11Gittins firing it in and it was just missed from all those who were trying to get on the end of it in the middle.
07:26The strength from Buonanotte and he's allowed others to join in.
07:38Decent effort, fine save.
07:39Pazwit.
07:45It's destined for the corner from Esteval.
07:48This is Walsh.
07:51Brilliant ball.
07:51What vision to get it to Esteval.
07:54Esteval.
07:57Routine for Pazwit.
08:00Really bad return for John Heitinger to England tonight.
08:05A punishing night for Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.
08:09And a near perfect one for Enzo Mariska and Chelsea.
