Play by play
- 93'
Right, that just about sums up tonight's proceedings. It's been a routine, if disappointing,win for Roman's English team. Goodnight to one and all...
- 93'
Mourinho must be pleased with the three points - but Chelsea must improve if they are going to get anywhere in the competition. John Terry was my man of the match, and Cech made some good saves in the first half. CSKA lacked any fight after the break, and with Lampard and Duff having off days, Chelsea never got going.
- 92'
It's all over! An awful second half in all truth - but it's 9 points out of 9 for Chelsea who are virtually guaranteed a place in the next round. Terry and Gudjohnsen with the goals. In a word, the match was poor.
- 91'
The Moscow fans are still singing - all credit to them.
- 90'
Hopefully there won't be too much injury time. Oh dear, there's 3 whole minutes! I'll try and stay awake... it's pretty dull stuff
- 89'
Krasic hits a hopeful free kick wide. CSKA gave up about 30 minutes ago.
- 88'
Great block from Parker. Someone's got a point to prove clearly!
- 87'
Predictably, Lampard hits the wall with his shot. Parker gives away a free kick in fifty fifty challenge.
- 86'
Cole is body-checked on the edge of the D. Can Chelsea ice this cake with a third goal?
- 86'
Gudjohnsen's ball is awful, easily cut out. He's had a pretty bad night as well. Yawn!
- 85'
It's all quiet in Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea fans have been very hushed tonight - but then they've had nothing to shout about apart from the two goals.
- 84'
Standing ovation for Smertin and Parker receives a warm welcome from the Chelsea faithful. They want him to stay, no doubt about that!
- 83'
Good bit of P.R. by Mourinho - he is bringing on Scotty Parker to shore up the Chelsea midfield.
- 82'
The game is drifting towards the final whistle. Both teams look happy to settle for this scoreline - CSKA have run out of steam.
- 82'
Cole's ball from the edge of the aera is over ambitious and CSKA clear.
- 80'
Joe Cole's low cross finds the only defender in the box. A third goal would be unfair on CSKA
- 79'
Zhirkov makes a mazy run into the corner but doesn't get his head up and Makelele steps in to take the ball.
- 78'
Good defending by Bridge, as Moscow push bodies forward. Can Cole and Gudjohnsen hit them on the break?
- 77'
Terry clears majestically. He has shone tonight.
- 76'
Zhirkov forces a corner on the left. Cole on for Duff, who has been as quiet as any other Chelsea player. A night he'd rather forget...
- 75'
Henry has just put Arsenal 2-1 up...
- 74'
Ah, at last! Joe Cole is soming on for Chelsea. Surely he can make something happen?
- 73'
Chelsea are doing their best to keep the ball in the wet conditions - it's fairly plain sailing at the moment. Moscow's heads are dropping.
- 72'
Lampard. Loose pass. Throw in. Sums up his night. Hasn't happened for him.
- 71'
Semak off for Krasic. Semak has played well, in my opinion. That means CSKA have made all their substitutions...
