YOUTH CUP REPORT: CHELSEA 2 DONCASTER ROVERS 1
Posted on: Wed 14 Dec 2011
Following the scoring pattern of the first team's win on Monday, the Under
18s recovered from an early shock to progress in the Youth Cup with goals
scored by John Swift and Lucas Piazon.
In front of 482 spectators in their first game staged at Staines Town FC,
the young Chelsea side conceded from a free-kick in the opening minutes.
Doncaster had few chances after that but they knew how to defend although
Swift put Chelsea on level terms inside the opening 10 minutes.
The winner had to wait until the closing stages, Piazon (pictured above)
finding the net after advancing from midfield, but it was a win that was
clearly deserved on balance of play.
Jamal Blackman had recovered from a back spasm that forced his late
withdrawal from the weekend league game so took his place in goal.
Nathaniel Chalobah was added to the defence and captained the side and
schoolboy Alex Kiwomya came in to play wide on the right of the front
three.
The young Blues went behind with less than two minutes played, a set-piece
doing the damage. A free-kick was awarded on the Doncaster right which was
fired in to the near post area where the visitors' centre-back Liam
Wakefield got away from his marker and in front of Blackman to head in.
Doncaster had been faster out the blocks even before that goal but the
Blues soon wrestled back control of the game.
John Swift, playing in the heart of the Chelsea midfield shot straight at
the keeper who had a more difficult task from a diagonal effort from
left-back Adam Nditi. The equalising goal came on seven minutes,
centre-forward Islam Feruz having moved wide to attack and cross in low.
The ball reached Swift who finished confidently from inside the area.

John Swift
Back on level terms and the Blues kept the pressure on. Feruz showed good
control to take a Swift pass and shoot, but the keeper saved.
Chelsea knew by now to take care when Doncaster had a set-piece and one
corner ricocheted inside the six-yard box before it was cleared, but then
Chelsea went close twice midway through the half. First Swift fired just
over from distance when Nditi had beaten his man and centred, and then
Piazon, running on to an Affane pass, shot wide from much closer in.
A quieter spell came to an end when Affane was found in plenty of space on
the left and the Swede went for the shooting option, missing the far post
by a whisker with Feruz sliding in and almost turning it on target.
Doncaster weren't afraid to use the long ball forward and mostly such
attacks were dealt with comfortably, Dutch defender Nathan Ake the
outstanding defender of the first half, but when one long punt did break
the way of Doncaster forward Patrick Mullen, he cleared the Chelsea bar
with as Blackman raced back to his line.
There had been a few hard challenges going in but Nditi was first to
receive a yellow card for one shortly before half-time.
There was an early threat by Chelsea after the restart when Swift wormed
his way along the by line and struck the keeper's legs, Kiwomya on the
turn then knocking a difficult follow-up chance wide.
The best moments from Feruz continued to come when he pulled wide and
found by an excellent Chalobah pass, the diminutive striker cut in and
thundered a shot at Jonathan Maxted that the Doncaster keeper managed to
keep out.
Ake tested the glass in one of the houses behind the goal with a volley
but clear-cut chances were proving hard to come by in the second half.
Baker had a shot saved by the post.
With 20 minutes left Chelsea had a strong penalty claim waved away. Feruz
had used his good acceleration to reach the ball in the first place and
then he tried to slip round the back of Brett Lucas but the Doncaster
skipper appeared to push him down. No foul was given. Lucas himself went
down with cramp. Was this the first sign that a side that had been chasing
the game were tiring?
It took only another two minutes for Chelsea to go ahead. Piazon, playing
as an attacking midfielder, had been quiet in the first half but as
against Portsmouth at the weekend, the Brazilian came more into it after
the interval and his was a graceful run forward past a man and shot from
the edge of the area, although the ball was helped on its way in by a
deflection off a defender. There were 72 minutes played.

Lucas Piazon
Doncaster, now in need of a goal, had their best minutes of the half
immediately after the Chelsea goal, and Blackman had to stand up and block
an over-head kick from unmarked Jordan Ball.
Doncaster substitute Evan Finnegan clattered Affane to earn a booking. A
card apiece in this game had been quite lenient by the ref.
Feruz heeled Baker's free-kick in but from an offside position before the
Doncaster keeper kept the score at 2-1 with a diving stop. Todd Kane's
shooting prowess is no secret and the right-back had drilled one hard
towards the top corner. It was good save that kept it out.
There was one final moment of concern for Chelsea when a corner was tipped
onto the top of his bar by Blackman, but the whistle blew soon after to
send Adi Viveash's side into the fourth round.
'It was a very tough game and the third round is always tough, as you can
see from some of the results already, including Liverpool going out,' said
Viveash after the final whistle.
'I was really pleased with the boys' mentality, they fought and scrapped
and stuck together and a little bit of magic from Piazon at the end has
won a close game. All credit to Doncaster, they came with a plan to stop
us playing and for most of the game it worked but we could have had more
goals in the first half, their keeper made two outstanding saves.
'There were some very good performances. Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Ake
were excellent. Todd Kane gives great desire and drive and Amin Affane
played extremely well. Islam Feruz was the best player on the pitch with
good movement and he was always a threat.
'Our midfield couldn't quite get going, Doncaster won that battle in the
first half, but the work rate they put in meant they tired because of our
use of the ball. It was a great little atmosphere, a good pitch and a good
cup tie.'
