A wonder strike from Didier Drogba and a goal for debutant Yuri Zhirkov allowed Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti to get the better of his former club AC Milan in a 2-1 win in Baltimore.
Drogba produced a stunning shot from distance with just seven minutes on the clock which was cancelled out by Clarence Seedorf before half-time.
Russian Zhirkov then restored Chelsea's lead midway through the second half and this time there was no way back for their Italian opponents.
Milan could have snatched a draw in stoppage time but Petr Cech tipped Filippo Inzaghi's effort over the bar.
