Chelsea faced Djurgården in the first leg of their Conference League semifinal, achieving a decisive 4-1 victory. Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke scored, followed by a brace from Nicolas Jackson, solidifying Chelsea's dominance. Sancho opened the scoring before Madueke doubled the lead with a precise finish. Jackson capitalized on defensive mistakes to score twice in the second half. Although Djurgården managed to score once through Isak Alemayehu Mulugeta, they missed further chances, allowing Chelsea to maintain control ahead of the return leg in London, with the final match scheduled for May 28 in Wroclaw, Poland.
Sancho opened the scoring in the 12th minute, taking possession just outside the six-yard box before cutting inside to shoot, and defender Marcus Danielsson's attempt to clear only helped the ball into the back of the net.
Madueke doubled their lead before the break with a controlled first-time finish, stroking home a pass from Enzo Fernández.
Substitute Jackson made the most of two defensive errors by the home side to score twice in seven second-half minutes before Djurgården pulled a goal back through Isak Alemayehu Mulugeta.
The home side almost reduced the deficit further in the 79th minute, but Adam Stahl skied the ball over the bar with the goal at his mercy.
