FIFA Club World Cup: Chelsea FC struck three goals in extra time to see off SL Benfica and book a FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinal clash with Palmeiras.

In a dramatic weather-delayed clash in Charlotte, Angel Di Maria's 95th-minute penalty equalised for the Portuguese side after Reece James gave the Premier League team the lead midway through the second half.

Benfica substitute Gianluca Prestianni was then sent off early in extra time, and Chelsea punished their opponents with goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, reports FIFA.
