EAST RUTHERFORD, Nueva Jersey, EE.UU. (AP) — Thiago Silva cumplirá 41 años de edad en cosa de dos meses, pero sus aportaciones para Fluminense en este Mundial de Clubes han sido extraordinarias en todos los sentidos, desde el infatigable despliegue defensivo hasta las arengas para inspirar a sus compañeros.

CHELSEA face battling Brazilian side Fluminense in a thrilling Club World Cup semi-final TONIGHT – and they come against a popular familiar face. Ex-Blues and footballing icon Thiago Silva

Chelsea came out well from the half-time break, and after Caicedo and Cucurella came close with long-range efforts, JP made it 2-0 with another wonderful strike, this time on the counter. Great play by Palmer to ride a couple challenges and Enzo to find JP quickly. And good advantage played by the referee as well.
