Middlesbrough vs Chelsea

1. 90'

   <b>And that's the final whistle - after a pretty dire first half all round, Chelsea took second half control to see off Middlesbrough and go through to face Manchester United at Old Trafford.</b>

2. 90'

   Terry clears well as Miller tries to make something happen in the middle of the Chelsea area. Seconds remaining now.

3. 90'

   Three minutes of added time will be played here at the Riverside.

4. 90'

   Another ball into the Chelsea area is half-cleared. Zammama tries a shot, but it's badly hit and wide.

5. 90'

   Hines meets it, but Chelsea deal with it.

6. 90'

   Haroun gets into the area - good run. Cech stops his effort and it's a late Boro corner.

7. 90'

   Bailey misjudges, and Marin tries to run into the penalty area. McManus is there to save face for his colleague.

8. 89'

   Things are drifting towards a conclusion at the Riverside: a minute or so of normal time to go, plus whatever we get for stoppages.

9. 88'

   Crossfield movement by Boro, who then lose it. Chelsea look to find Torres early. Too early - the flag is up.

10. 87'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> And that is a booking for the Boro man, perhaps just allowing a bit of frustration to show.

11. 87'

    From it, Ramires will get a crossing chance. Bailey fouls Ake as he tries to usher the ball away.

12. 86'

    Friend plays the ball forward, Luiz gets there, Friend gets another touch - and out goes the ball. Chelsea throw, near the halfway line.

13. 85'

    That move had Chelsea floundering for a second, and they have switched off in the last two or three minutes.

14. 84'

    Another chance - the ball is played in to Miller, who has a first-time volley from just inside the area but can only steer it over.

15. 83'

    Bailey gets up and gets a good header in - but it's the wrong side of the post, just rippling the side-netting on its way past.

16. 83'

    Ferreira plays a casual pass back, forcing Ivanovic to lunge in and divert it behind for a corner.

17. 83'

    You would have thought that, if a comeback was ever going to materialise, it needed to start then.

18. 82'

    Zemmama gets it over the wall, but it's far too close to Cech, who saves comfortably.

19. 81'

    But wait a moment - Ferreira commits a foul, outside the area and central. Zemmama looks like the man most interested in taking this...

20. 80'

    Ten minutes remaining: Chelsea, barring a remarkable Boro revival, have this won.

21. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Oscar is off, with Chelsea bringing Marko Marin on in his stead.

22. 79'

    ...the ball is worked to Friend, but he sees his cross blocked.

23. 78'

    Undaunted, the home side come forward again to win a free-kick on the right. Terry clears for a corner...

24. 77'

    Substitute Zemmama makes a good run down the left for Boro and makes room for a cross. Unfortunately, though, he gets the delivery all wrong and it sails over the bar for a Chelsea free-kick.

25. 77'

    Luiz is instantly involved, winning the ball well and starting a move that leads to a pass towards, but beyond, Torres.
