Match report in news

  • 99'
    FT: D Zagreb 1-0 Chelsea! All over in Zagreb and Orsic's 13th minute goal proved to be the difference! Chelsea started strongly and gave it a go in the second half, but clear chances were hard to come by. James hitting the post and Mount being denied by the goalie on the rebound was the closest they came. That's all from us, thanks for joining us and see you now for Sevilla v Man City!

  • 45'
    HT: Zagreb 1-0 Chelsea! Half-time in Zagreb and Chelsea have work to do. They made a promising start, but Orsic's goal on the counter killed them. Since the goal, Zagreb have been in complete control and Ademi could've even made it two. Let's see what Tuchel has to say at the interval. Back shortly!

  • 13'
    Zagreb take the lead!!! Orsic scores!! Zagreb win the ball in their own half and they counter at breakneck speed! A long pass by Ljubicic is flicked on by Petkovic's head into the path of Orsic, and he runs forward and places it in the far corner!

    It's all Chelsea so far.
  • 10'
    Chelsea go forward and Auba gets the corner.

    Zagreb send a low cross in and it's cleared and then, on the counter, Havertz attacks and his pass across the box can't quite find Auba in the six yard box!
  • 6'
    Chance for Chelsea! Sterling and Auba play a one-two and the forrmer's goalbound effort is blocked by Ristovski! The flag goes up, but I think Auba was onside. That would have counted had it gone in.
