Aldo de Nigris curled in a consolation for Monterrey in stoppage time. Chelsea will play Brazilian side Corinthians, who beat Al Ahly of Egypt 1-0 in the other semi-final. Monterrey, meanwhile, face Al Ahly in the third place play-off. The victory was rarely in doubt for Chelsea against a Monterrey side who showed plenty of endeavour but lacked bite in the final third. One of the main positives for the European champions was the performance of defender David Luiz, who was employed as a makeshift midfielder to fill the void left by the injured Oriol Romeu. The Brazilian was revelling in his new role from the outset and he was the first to threaten inside the opening 10 minutes, firing over from outside the box.
