Chelsea’s bench makes the difference: Garnacho double ends Cardiff’s cup run

Chelsea progressed to the EFL Cup semi-finals after a 3-1 victory at Cardiff City Stadium. Both teams struggled to break the deadlock in a goalless first half. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca made key substitutions, which proved decisive.

Alejandro Garnacho, introduced at half-time, opened the scoring in the 57th minute following a defensive error. Cardiff responded in the 75th minute when David Turnbull headed in an equaliser, giving the home side renewed hope.

Pedro Neto restored Chelsea’s advantage seven minutes later with a well-taken goal. Garnacho completed his brace deep into stoppage time at 90′+3′ to ensure Chelsea’s win and Cardiff’s cup exit. The match was officiated by Tony Harrington in front of 33,027 spectators.
