The match resumed after almost two hours, and Chelsea eventually won in extra time.

Coach Maresca felt they had control of the game for most of the time, creating chances to win but ultimately losing their advantage in the second half.

He questioned the decision to suspend the game, saying it disrupted the normal flow of the competition.

However, Maresca also praised the Club World Cup, calling it a fantastic competition and expressing happiness at making it to the quarterfinals.

He noted that suspending a game is not common in major international competitions, such as the World Cup or European leagues.
