Chelsea took a big step toward advancing to the UEFA Conference League final by beating Swedish club Djurgården 4-1 in the first leg of their semifinal.

Enzo Maresca decided to change almost half the team at half time, making four (4!) changes to rotate the first-teamers and keeping the backups and kids on. Those changes upset the balance of the team a bit, but Djurgarden were not able to take advantage of those moments. And then they gifted us a third, which Nicolas Jackson walked into the net.

As expected, Enzo Maresca has opted to rotate most of the squad, with only Enzo, Cucurella, and Madueke retaining their places from the weekend. Djurgården starting XI: Rinne | Danielson, Une (c), Stensson, Finndell, Gulliksen, Stahl, Nguen, Priske, Kosugi, Haarala
