    Time:90'
    • Chelsea
    • Fenerbahce
    • 90+4 ALL OVER. AND CHELSEA WILL MEET LIVEPOOL AGAIN!! A solid performance, and Avram Grant's team absolutely deserve to progress.
    • 89' Carvalho gets a yellow. It's worth noting that a Fener goal would mean extra-time.
    • 87' GAME, SET, MATCH CHELSEA!! Great work from Essien on the right, who pulled it back for Lampard...the England midfielder fired home.
    • 85 YELLOW CARD FOR ESSIEN! Who will miss the first-leg of the semi-final if Chelsea get there.
    • 80' GOKHAN IS SOOOO CLOSE TO A GOAL FOR FENER. Hilarios denies him...and seconds later makes an even better save from Kazim-Richards.
    • 77' Chelsea free-kick. 25 yards out. DROGBA!!! Great save by Volkan!
    • 75' Second change for Fener - Semih is replaced by Ugar Boral.
    • 74' LUGANO HITS ONE...its deflected, but the referree gives a goal-kick. Poor decision.
    • 69' It's all getting a bit scrappy here. Chelsea look a touch nervous. Fener are searching for the final ball, but its not forthcoming.
    • 65' Gokhan hits one for Fener...not his best.
    • 63' Good defending by John Terry, who denies Gokhan. Fener are going for this now.
    • 59' Fener make their first change. Former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman is on for Maldonado.
    • 57' Change for Chelsea. Juliano Belleti comes on for Kalou - who's been Chelsea's best player so far.
    • 55' Drogba with a superb defensive header for Chelsea. Fener are surely going to get a chance here, and Hilario looks far from comfortable.
    • 50' Cole is struggling a little - but he gets back to his feet and shakes himself down. Meanwhile Fener are enjoying a good spell here.
    • 47' Essien finds Drogba, who turns sharply in the box and sends a decent shot straight at Demirel.
    • 46' And the second half is away, Chelsea kicking off with a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League at their mercy.
    • 45+3' Half-time at the Bridge, and Chelsea's early goal means they lead the tie on away goals. The question is whether they go for the jugular, or sit back and risk Fener nicking one.
    • 43' The game's gone a little quiet here. Chelsea seem unsure whether to push for the second, or sit back.
    • 40' Wonderful run from Kalou, who put his foot down and motored away from about four defenders - all of which culminated in a rather poor shot.
    • 37' Fener are coming into this a little now, closing down Chelsea in midfield and starting to string a few passes together. Chelsea need a second here.
    • 33' Nice link-up between Cole and Drogba, and the Ivorian striker's shot draws a good save from Demirel.
    • 31' FREE HEADER FOR LUGANO! He can't find the target. What a missed opportunity for Fener, especially with Hilario yet to have touched the ball. He takes the goal-kick.
    • 29' Semih Senturk with a low shot for Fener, just wide of Hilario's right post.
    • 27' Drogba is floored by Lugano right under the referree's nose. Nothing given. He's back up.
    • 26' And Cech is forced to come off. It looks like a pulled hamstring. Hilario, Chelsea's third choice keeper, enters the fray.
    • 24' Cech is down for Chelsea. He seems to be holding the back of his leg. With Carlo Cudicini sidelined, Hilario could be called on here.
    • 21' Good hit from Didier Drogba, who cut in front the left and attempted a curler to the far top corner ala Thierry Henry. Just over.
    • 20' Deivid with shot from fully 40 yards. As you might have suspected, Petr Cech was not troubled.
    • 18' Ballack is looking relaxed and authoritative in midfield for Chelsea. Kalou has also impressed, working tirelessly and demanding the ball everywhere.
    • 14' Claude Makelele pulls Deivid to the floor. Fener with a free-kick, which Alex takes quickly...free header for Deivid, but he heads wide. Sloppy marking from Chelsea.
    • 13' Drogba finds space on the left, but Edu gets back to cut out his cross.
    • 10' Kazim-Richards with his first touch for Fener...Michael Essien cuts out his pass.
    • 8' Chelsea are rampant here. Kalou bursts down the left and finds Joe Cole with his pull-back. Cole shoots first time...and hits the post!
    • 6' Avram Grant could not have dreamed for a better start. Chelsea came out buzzing and now lead the tie on away goals.
    • 3' WHAT A START FOR CHELSEA!! Michael Ballack leaps to meet Joe Cole's right-wing cross and steers a downward header past Demirel. 1-0!
    • 2' Good early challenge from Frank Lampard, who releases Joe Cole...but his pass is wayward.
    • 1' And we're under way Stamford Bridge...the home fans in good voice.
    • - TEAM NEWS: Chelsea make one change from the side which lost 2-1 in Turkey last week. Florent Malouda is replaced by Salomon Kalou. For Fenerbahce, Colin Kazim-Richards starts.
