Giay turned into his own net in the 83rd minute at Lincoln Financial Field as Chelsea teed up a clash with Fluminense.

The Blues went ahead through Cole Palmer's coolly taken opener in the 16th minute.

Yet teenage sensation Estevao, who will join Chelsea after the tournament, dragged Palmeiras level in stunning fashion.

After engineering space to get the better of Levi Colwill, Estevao lashed a wonderful finish in off the crossbar.

Joao Pedro came on for his Chelsea debut, but it was defender Malo Gusto who turned the tide when his cross deflected in off the unfortunate Giay.

Chelsea's reunion with former defender Thiago Silva and his Fluminense team-mates will take place at MetLife Stadium on Wednesday (AEST).

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and Palmer both admitted to being excited that Estevao will soon be in their colours after seeing his superb goal.

"I'm happy because we won and also happy because Estevao scored, the perfect night," Maresca said.

"He is very good, a huge talent, fantastic player. The only thing is when you come from South America or another part of the world, you need to adapt.

"We are going to help him to adapt. We have no doubt he will be an important player for Chelsea."

Palmer spoke to Estevao after the final whistle.

"You can see he is a top player, so it is very exciting," Palmer said of the Brazilian star, who had eight touches in Chelsea's box, the most of any Palmeiras player.

"I just said to him we are excited for him to join – but he didn't understand a single word I said."

Estevao is sad to be leaving Palmeiras, but is thrilled to get a chance to star in the Premier League.

"Palmeiras opened the door for me. I was deeply happy in Palmeiras and my family knows how happy I was," he said.

"I'm very happy I could score a goal to help my club. Unfortunately this wasn't the result we wanted but we gave our best and now I am moving on."
