In a tightly contested FA Cup semi-final on April 26, 2026, Chelsea secured a 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Wembley Stadium. The decisive goal came from midfielder Enzo Fernandez, whose strike in the second half proved enough to send the Blues to the final.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez made two crucial saves, denying Brenden Aaronson and Anton Stach to keep a clean sheet. Malo Gusto, despite an early knock, provided an energetic performance from right-back, supporting attacks and recovering defensively.
Joao Pedro, introduced as a substitute, made a significant impact with his movement and hold-up play, creating space for Fernandez's goal. The win keeps Chelsea's season alive as they now await the winner of the other semi-final between Manchester City and Arsenal.
