Adi Viveash's side needed a victory to guarantee first place and a home tie in the one-legged last-16 and they achieved it comfortably. A first-half brace from Jeremie Boga and a goal in between from Dominic Solanke gave the hosts a 3-0 lead at the break and they added a further three in the second half. Solanke completed his hat-trick and Charly Musonda added a sixth from a set-piece. == Team news == There were three changes from the side beaten 2-0 away to Schalke in the Under-19s' last outing a fortnight ago. The back five remained unchanged, with Bradley Collins in goal and a defence consisting of Andreas Christensen, Fikayo Tomori, Ola Aina and Jay Dasilva. Musonda and Boga came into the team to join captain Izzy Brown in the attacking support for striker Solanke, while Charlie Colkett and Ruben Sammut combined to form the deeper midfield pair. == First half == Sporting, managed by former Premier League forward Luis Boa Morte, started brightly and Collins was called into action twice inside the opening 10 minutes. He gathered comfortably from Rafael Barbosa's drive after a couple of minutes before racing off his line to thwart Jose Postiga as the forward escaped in behind the Blues defence. That save was a good one but, with the ball still trickling towards his unguarded goal, it required Christensen to mop up and clear to safety. Musonda brought a save from Sporting keeper Jose Marinheiro after Solanke's clever cutback to the young Belgian and it wasn't long before the deadlock was broken. A free-kick was won in a dangerous central position 25 yards from goal. Boga stepped up to bend it in brilliantly beyond the despairing dive of the goalkeeper for his third goal of this European campaign. The lead brought more confidence to Viveash's side and they went close to doubling their advantage almost instantly. Solanke and Brown's neat exchange fashioned a great opportunity for the frontman but his strike was deflected behind by a brave defensive block. The young Blues did secure a two-goal cushion midway through the half and it arrived courtesy of another set-piece. Solanke won a free-kick on the right touchline and Colkett's deep inswinging delivery proved difficult for the Portuguese defenders. Christensen managed to escape round the back with a clever run and, after nodding back across goal, Solanke applied a simple finish from a couple of yards out. It was Chelsea in control for the remainder of the half, passing with accuracy and purpose as they continued to carve out chances. Marinheiro denied Boga and Solanke in quick succession, however he was unable to prevent the Blues adding a third goal in the final minute of the half. Solanke and Boga combined intricately in tight space inside the penalty area and the Frenchman was clinical as he received the return pass, finding the bottom corner with a close-range finish. == Second half == Jake Clarke-Salter, who last week signed his first professional contract, came on for the restart and the Blues were eager to continue their impressive play. They quickly netted a fourth goal. The excellent Boga fed the overlapping Christensen down the right channel and the Danish youth international unselfishly squared the ball across the face of goal. It handed the lurking Solanke another finish from close range. Musonda added a sixth as the final 10 minutes approached, firing a brilliant 30-yard free-kick into the far corner as the hosts did the necessary work to finish ahead of Schalke in the group courtesy of their superior head-to-head record. == Manager reaction == Adi Viveash praised his side for a brilliant performance and some breathtaking attacking play. Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'There was a little bit of pressure on us but it was a fantastic performance. 'We scored some great goals, showed some super movement and scored a couple of excellent free-kicks - but we also demonstrated good discipline as well. Ruben Sammut was excellent in that sense; the speed of the game is different to the Under-18s but he learnt about that through the game and was very good. 'We're in the last-16, we're at home and we look forward to the draw now, as well as looking forward to this evening. A big part of today for us as an Academy is Ruben Loftus-Cheek being involved with the first team, as an 18-year-old who has been here for 10 years. 'It's a big night for him and his family but also for all the coaches who have worked with him over the years. He's had a very good five months with us at the start of the season and he gets the reward for that tonight.' Next up for the Academy is a trip to West Ham for the youth team on Saturday, before Viveash's Under-21s host Sunderland in a league encounter at Cobham on Sunday afternoon.
