The Premier League side struggled to gain control over the game, particularly in the first half, allowing Lincoln to take the lead just before halftime due to a mistake made by Enzo Fernandez.
However, Chelsea managed to turn the game around with two quick goals from Tyrique George and Facundo Buonanotte, securing their spot in the next round.
In a post-game interview, Gusto expressed frustration with the team's performance, stating that they were "bullied" by Lincoln in every aspect of the game.
Gusto, 22, acknowledged that the team's first-half display was "bad" and that they needed to show more desire and confidence in the second half to come back.
He emphasized the importance of building on the lessons learned from the game to improve the team's overall performance.
Gusto also noted that they were aware of Lincoln's playing style, which focused on duels and fighting, and attempted to adapt their strategy accordingly in the second half.
