- Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat against Juventus in a pre-season friendly held in Hong Kong, marking another loss for Xabi Alonso's emerging squad.
- Despite the loss, summer signings Danny Welbeck and Geovany Quenda showed promising signs of creativity, with Quenda forming an effective partnership with right-back Marco Palestra.
- The match was characterised by a slow tempo and lack of rhythm from both teams, typical of a friendly, with neither side creating many clear-cut chances for much of the game.
- The decisive goal came from Juventus's Edon Zhegrova, who scored a stunning first-time effort from the edge of the box into the top corner, securing the win.
