Blues see off Mexicans

Chelsea finished the World Football Challenge with a 100% record thanks to a 2-0 victory over Club America. The Blues followed up successes over Inter Milan and AC Milan with a confident performance against the Mexicans, which produced two goals in as many second-half minutes for Franco Di Santo and Florent Malouda. Carlo Ancelotti's side had plenty of chances to take the lead in the first half but luck was not on their side, with Ricardo Carvalho seeing his header hit the right post. The second half was just as frustrating for Chelsea and their Mexican opponents hit the post themselves after 62 minutes. But a goal eventually arrived in the 75th minute with Malouda producing a lovely chipped ball into the box which Di Santo poked home from five yards. They made certain of the win two minutes later when Di Santo turned provider for Malouda, racing into the box and pulling the ball back for the Frenchman to sweep home.
