Play by play
- 93'
Full time, and well done Cluj!! In truth they restricted Chelsea to few chances, and probably had the best one themselves when Trica hit the post. Chelsea also have to live with an injury to Didier Drogba that could well result in a long lay-off. Thanks for your company. Until next time.
- 92'
Last chance goes to Chelsea after a huge punt downfield from Cech. He runs on to Cadu's header but hits his half volley two yards wide.
- 91'
Lampard swings in the free kick and that will be a Chelsea corner. Oh, hang on, its a goal kick. Poor decision that.
- 91'
Two minutes added and Dani is carded after tripping Belletti.
- 90'
Kone, who looks pretty ungainly, does well to win a corner and the crowd go nuts. Twenty seconds left...
- 89'
Change for Cluj, Didi is on for Trica, the man who hit the post.
- 88'
Bridge swings in the ball, Anelka is alone at the back post but tries to bring the ball down instead of hitting it first time and the chance is lost.
- 87'
Cech saves from Pereira! The left back burst into the box and unloaded a shot from 12 yards out that the keeper does well to turn behind. Belletti at fault there.
- 86'
Cluj have a good chance to break but stand static instead of pushing on, then Lampard's ball is poor as he looks for Anelka over the top.
- 84'
What a ball from Lampard! A first time looping pass over the top for Belletti, who took it down well but screwed his shot wide from a tricky angle. Sublime vision and execution from Lamps though.
- 82'
Di Santo clips a ball into Ballack but he is crowded out, as has been the case all game, and Cluj clear. They are scrapping for their lives at the back.
- 81'
Trica's shot clipped the outside of the post in fact! Cech was static. What a story that would have been!
- 80'
Cluj's best chance! Alex gets in a mess, Kone battles hard and then Trica flashes a shot marginally wide from the edge of the area with Cech beaten! So nearly 1-0!!
- 78'
Anelka has been carded for legitimately trying to get on the end of a Lampard flick on. His boot was up but then he had the chance to score so he's entitled to go for it in my opinion.
- 77'
Sorry to have to inform you Chelsea fans but the news on Drogba is not good. There's talk of ligament damage and a possible fracture too. If so, that's a long time out.
- 76'
Liverpool 3-0 PSV. Steven Gerrard with his 100th goal for the club, a bullet free-kick.
- 76'
Crikey, Di Santo nearly scored with his first touch after trying to get involved straight away at the throw in. his header goes just wide with the keeper stranded.
- 75'
Chelsea change, Malouda off and Franco Di Santo on to make his Champions League debut.
- 74'
Werder have equalised against Inter through Pizarro.
- 73'
Lampard finds a bit of space and launches one towards the top corner, Stanicoiu is across to catch.
- 72'
Malouda curls an inswinger in, and though it flicks off a Chelsea head it hits De Sousa and falls kindly for Muresan to clear.
- 71'
Now Pereira gets booked after hammering the ball into Mikel after Chelsea had been awarded a free kick. Silly boy.
- 70'
Lampard tries to slip a ball through for Malouda, but Pereira clears. Throw in.
- 68'
Its all got very scrappy. Belletti lucky to get away with a blatant handball there.
- 66'
Terry goes up for the header but Stanicoiu claims.
