Skipper John Terry netted the winner six minutes from time after new signing Florent Malouda's 75th-minute strike had cancelled out Juan Carlos Mosqueda's opener when the midfielder took advantage of a sluggish start by the Blues to put Club America ahead after just four minutes.

"I'm pleased," Mourinho said. "It was a very good training session. I want to thank Club America because they gave us exactly what we needed - good competition. It was a very good game by our team. There was good passing by our team, good defense, and a good overall game."

It proved an eventful debut for Malouda, who also played a part in Terry's late strike after the former Lyon winger had hauled his new side level.

"We played a good game," Malouda said. "It felt great to contribute to the team in this first game."

Club America coach Luis Fernando Tena was glad to see his side compete with their illustrious opponents.

"Overall I was pleased with the way we played," Tena said. "Chelsea played better in the second half though and that was the difference."
