Chelsea Draws 3-3 with Johor Darul Ta'zim in Preseason Friendly
Chelsea managed to secure a 3-3 draw against Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in a preseason match held in Singapore. JDT, known for their world record unbeaten league run, took the lead late in the game at 86 minutes to make it 3-2. However, an own goal by a JDT player in the 89th minute prevented a loss for Chelsea, coached by Xavi Alonso. New signing Matias Nahuel, a former Maccabi Haifa player, remained on the bench and did not play but is expected to make his debut in the next match for JDT.
In another friendly, Manchester City defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 in Seoul, South Korea. Goals from Omar Marmoush (57 and 59 minutes) and Ryan Ait-Nouri (90) secured the comeback win for City. Atletico's 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez scored their lone goal. These matches are part of the gradual return of European leagues from the summer break, with top competitions set to resume soon.
