Play by play

Bordeaux must travel to Rome. This group is still very much alive. It's the only one. Join us to find out what happens in a fortnight.

And it is...Chelsea have to wait to qualify. A win over Cluj will do it but they would have hoped to get the job done tonight.
- 92'
A last effort from Obertan goes wide. That will be that...
- 92'
Gourcuff takes. It drifts round the back. Ball played back in. Ferreira can't clear and it bounces all over the show before it's cleared.
- 92'
Corner to Bordeaux after Terry tries to be clever.
- 91'
Time added on. Aimless shank by Ivanovic.
- 90'
Gourcuff's pass is cleared to Drogba who barely breaks into stride before Bordeaux get it back. Chelsea hang on though.
- 89'
Three minutes to be added on.
- 89'
Cavenaghi has a shot on goal as he turns away from Chelsea's defence. Cech lets it go but it was perhaps closer than he realised.
- 88'
Planus blazes over. The game is alive now. Chelsea hanging on here.
- 87'
A rearguard effort required.
- 86'
Oh dear, Chelsea. One of them was bound to go with both cards and tackles flying in. Lampard gets the first squeeze of the muscle rub.
- 85'
Ball cleared to many cheers. Lampard commits a foul and is booked. The ref didn't notice that that was his second. Lampard trotted off innocently. The Bordeaux players let the ref know. And Lampard is finally off.
- 83'
Joe Cole going off. Paulo Ferreira to come on.
- 83'
Now that atmosphere is up and running again. Boos when Chelsea win a free-kick.
- 83'
John Terry let him go. Bordeaux deserve that goal on balance of the whole game if not the period since Chelsea scored.
- 83'
Gourcuff's ball in. Great cross. Lovely header from Alou Diarra who climbs above a static defence to score. 1-1!!!
- 81'
More ref baiting. But cheers when Gourcuff wins a corner.
- 80'
Gourcuff on the make. Vain appeals for a pass-back between Bosingwa and Cech. Maybe it was. But the referee's decision is final.
- 79'
Obertan turns but is brought down. Nothing doing from the ref. Boos ring out.
- 78'
Lampard has a go from range. Ball spilled and hacked away. It was there to be tapped in but Drogba was not at the races. Lampard gets a second bite but smashes wide. And off for a throw...
- 76'
A massed Chelsea defence deal with a Bordeaux attack. Happy to sit back now. That goal changed everything
- 75'
This is not going well for the French. They'll be fighting with Cluj over the dubious honour of the UEFA Cup. Big wow!
- 74'
Drogba goes down like the proverbial. Off goes Wendel, on comes Obertan.
- 74'
Diarra handballs. Silly. Pressure off Chelsea now.
