Report, result and goals as blues secure Champions League

Chelsea secured a return to the Champions League with a strenuous 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on the city ground.

The strike of Levia Colwill’s second half was a difference in the match, which limited the good first campaign for Enzo Marec.

Forest had a first real chance of playing when Ola Aina Križ found Chris Wood in the box, but the attacker failed to keep his effort.

Chelsea replied via Pedro Net, whose vibrant run created a good opportunity for Cole Palmer, just that he shot forward from close range.

The first half was mostly a story of missed opportunities and nervous defense. Both sides showed flashes of quality, Madueke’s races created problems, while Forest looked dangerous on the counter.

However, no goalkeeper was truly tested in an introductory 45 minutes, and a whistle at halftime was blowing to 0-0.

After the break, Chelsea came out for multiple purposes. Just five minutes in the second half, Low Cross Pedra Net avoided everything in the box and found Levi Colwill, who arrived at the back post.

Defender did not make a mistake, calmly pushed home to give Chelsea key leadership.

Forest, who needs a victory to have any chance for the Champions League football, pushed forward with a little more urgency after she left behind.

Elarga’s long -term effort was comfortably held by Robert Sanchez, and Aina pulled out of the corner at the moment that summarized the host frustration.

As the game was approaching their last minutes, Chelsea fans found their voice, feeling the target line in sight.

Replacing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and slightly densely added fresh legs as visitors watched to protect their slim lead.

The best chance to rescue the results came deep at the time of stopping, when a long ball from the rug had found a tree in the box. However, the striker -the leader sailed over the crossbar, all except that the hope of Forest ended in dramatic equalization.

The final whistle was greeted by cheerful players and Chelsea staff, who knew that the victory secured its place in the highest European competition next season.

For Nottingham Forest, it was a frustrating end of the promising campaign, although they can still be proud of the highest completion of the Premier League since 1995 and a place in the conference league.
