Final score

Olympiacos and Chelsea drew 0-0 in 1st Leg on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.

Play by play

  1. 90'

    Olympiacos never really went for it at their home ground and might regret that in the return leg at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will be happy with the draw and expect to do the business in London.

  2. 90'

    That's it! The ref puts us out of our misery and blows for full-time.

  3. 90'

    A hopeful ball in from the left evades Antzas. Kalou is clean through but he takes a heavy touch and Nikopolidis claims the ball. That was a real chance for Kalou.

  4. 90'

    Anelka has looked busy since he came on. It would have been nice to see him earlier in the game.

  5. 90'

    Ashley Cole loses possession, he fouls Ledesma as he attempts to win back the ball and gets booked.

  6. 90'

    Nunez gets his first touch and gives the ball away to Essien.

  7. 89'

    Essien resorts to smashing in a speculative long-range shot that Nikopolidis watches go wide as he leans on the post.

  8. 88'

    So a few late goals in the other match featuring a Premier League side... can't see anything similar happening here though.

  9. 87'

    Another goal at Anfield. Steven Gerrard has scored to make it 2-0 to Liverpool!

  10. 86'

    Olympiacos follow suit and make a change. Kovacevic is replaced by Nunez.

  11. 85'

    Chelsea make another substitution. Ballack goes off, on comes Lampard.

  12. 84'

    Pantos drives forward down the right but he has no support and ends up passing back to his own defence.

  13. 83'

    Ballack controls the ball on his chest, turns his defender and fires a shot from the edge of the box. Unfortunately his effort is straight at Nikopolidis.

  14. 81'

    There has been a goal at Anfield. Liverpool have taken a 1-0 lead against ten-man Inter.

  15. 80'

    Ballack hits a cross to the back post, aimed at Essien. Nikopolidis reads the flight of the ball and comes off his line to pluck the cross out of the air.

  16. 79'

    Belletti drives the ball across the edge of the area, Anelka collects his pass and fires a poor shot wide.

  17. 78'

    Ballack gets on the end of a Makelele cross but there is no Chelsea player in support to latch onto his knock down.

  18. 77'

    More whistles from the Olympiacos fans as Chelsea keep possession. Kalou chases down an over hit pass, he keeps the ball in play but only for it to roll to Nikopolidis.

  19. 76'

    The Greeks make a change now and Djordjevic, who has run himself inot the gorund, is replaced by Belluschi.

  20. 75'

    Anelka's first touch ends up giving a throw to Olympiacos.

  21. 73'

    Chelsea make a double change. Anelka and Kalou come on to replace Joe Cole and Malouda.

  22. 71'

    Malouda hits a long-range shot that has Nikopoldis scurrying across his goal but the Frenchman's effort eventually goes wide.

  23. 70'

    Anelka looks like he is getting ready on the touchline. Drogba has been very quiet and I would expect him to be replaced.

  24. 69'

    Pantos sprints to the flank to tackle Belletti. It is a foot race and Pantos just wins it - he needed to.

  25. 68'

    Makalele twists and turns away from the attentions of Galletti. He eventually plays a lovely pass out wide to Cole but the move then comes to nothing.
