    FT: Juventus 1-0 Chelsea!! All over in Turin and after a quiet first half, a 46th minute Chiesa goal proved to be the difference. Chelsea then tried to level and lacked the cutting edge for most of the half. In the last 15 minutes, Lukaku had a couple of chances and Havertz headed over at the death. Juve scored and defended their lead. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Chelsea go forward, De Ligt slips, Lukaku wasn't expecting it and stops and that allows the GK to get there!

Yellow card

a Chelsea
  • 61'
    Ziyech is cautioned after fouling Chiesa. He's unlucky as he slipped and looked to be trying to pull out.
  • 59'
    Chelsea are pressing and it's another corner.
  • 58'
    Chelsea win themselves a corner and the ref calls a halt to proceedings.
  • 56'
    The game is much more open now Juventus have scored as Chelsea are obviously looking for a goal.
  • 54'
    Almost an own goal after Havertz's pass is deflected by a Juve man just wide!

    Chilwell volleys over after being passed the ball by Lukaku.
  • 49'
    Lukaku goes forward for the visitors, but it comes to nothing.
  • 48'
    Chelsea will have to respond now!
  • 46'
    A long ball forward, a couple of flick ons, a pass and a shot! That was quick! Just 10 seconds!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Juventus en el 46'
  • 46'
    And Chiesa makes it 1-0 less than 15 seconds into the second period! Bernardeschi passes to the former Fiorentina man who fires home!
  • 45'
    Chelsea HT sub: Alonso is replaced by Chilwell.
  • 45'
    HT: Juventus 0-0 Chelsea! No score at the interval and it's very fair. The visitors started the game much better, but the Italians grew into the contest as it went along. Chances have been at a premium and Rabiot's off target effort is the closest either side has come. Both sides look more interested in not losing. Back for more shortly!
  • 45'
    Chelsea get a corner, Silva gets his head to it, he gets a second effort, but his strike is blocked!
  • 42'
    Another free-kick, this time a bit more to the side after a foul by Rudiger.
  • 41'
    Bernardeschi's free-kick hits his teammate Bonucci! That's unlucky.
  • 40'
    Free-kick to the Italians in a very dangerous position after Kovacic brings down Cuadrado just outside the D.
  • 39'
    The game has quietened down now and this looks it will be 0-0 at the break.
  • 37'
    Rabiot's stray arm catches Jorginho in the face and that leads to the official giving a free-kick in Chelsea's favour.
  • 36'
    I think both teams don't want to lose this. They both have three points, are clearly the best two teams in the group ahead of Zenit and Malmo and I think they'll take a draw.
  • 35'
    Juventus are caught offside.
  • 32'
    Chelsea are having more possession, Juve are having more chances, but it's been a game of few opportunities.
  • 31'
    Rabiot!!! The former PSG man has an effort from outside the box which flies just over the bar!
  • 27'
    Juventus have another attack, but it comes to nothing.
  • 26'
    Havertz makes a run towards the Juve box, but Bentancur makes a well timed tackle.
  • 23'
    Chelsea are having the possession, but the Juve goalie has had little to do.
  • 20'
    Chiesa goes down the flank but the ball goes across the goal rather than towards it.

  • 8'
    Bernardeschi goes down in the box wanting a pen, but the ref isn't interested.
