Chelsea beat Real Sociedad 3-1 in the Club Friendly Games, using a 3-4-3 structure to control territory and turn a modest shot-on-target edge into a clear result. João Pedro led the scoring with two goals, while Morgan Rogers added Chelsea’s other strike as the home side combined 59% possession with 2.45 xG from 15 attempts. Real Sociedad’s 4-2-3-1 produced substantial volume, registering 17 shots and 1.98 xG, but only four efforts tested Chelsea’s goalkeeper. Chelsea were more efficient around goal, placing five shots on target, while Real Sociedad’s goalkeeper saved 40% of the five on-target attempts he faced. At the other end, Chelsea’s goalkeeper posted a 75% save rate from four shots on target, helping the hosts absorb periods of away pressure without conceding further. The result offers Chelsea a productive early pre-season benchmark.
