End of match
-
200'FT: Chelsea definitely had the edge in quality tonight but Krasnodar shone at times! The first half looked like it was anyone's game and the second was a different story... Thanks for watching!
-
89 'Pulisic ends things with a bang! Krasnodar were nowhere to be seen as Pulisic puts it through the keeper's legs from the corner of the six-yard box after a great run down the wing from Abrahams.
-
87'Mendy has had a great game tonight. Lampard will be happy with his signing.
-
84 'Ramierez shoots from the corner of the area with a good movement to beat the Chelsea defender. Mendy made a comfortable save.

-
79 'Chelsea goal. Ziyech turns inside the area and puts a great shot between two defenders and past the keeper into the far bottom corner.
-
77'Chelsea can breathe a little with a 2 goal gap but Krasnodar have shown what they are capable of tonight. There could be more goals yet.

74 'Chelsea penalty after a shot is blocked by a handball in the area.
-
71'Chelsea have dominated the possession so far but in terms of chances the match still seems to be even.
-
69 'Triple sub for Chelsea. Mount, Kante, and Pulisic come on.
-
66 'ZIyech goes for glory with a weak shot on goal instead of aiming for the 3 other forward in the box. Questionable choice in an otherwise good performance.
-
65'Well he worked for the FK but couldn't do anything with it in the end. He out that well over the crossbar.
-
64'Utkin does a front flip to earn a FK on the edge of the area. Whether or not it was a FK is one thing but the acrobatics are another...
-
62'This is way too close to call which will be a great source of worry for the London club! Both teams have created some great chances this half. It really could go either way.
-
59'Lampard looks worried on the touchline. He knows that this is anything but decided.
-
57'Chelsea continue with 10 men while Zouma recovers on the touchline. He will continue.
-
56'Zouma clashed heads in the melee in the box and might have to come off.
-
55'Gazinskiy clashes with Chelsea players going up for a header in the area. Mendy was all over the place but had it covered.
-
53'Another counter almost ended with a KRA. Complaints from Chelsea as Chilwell was on the floor at the other ended of the pitch after a blow to the head.
-
52'Krasnodar have shown that they can be deadly on the counterattack. They have speed down the wings that has almost caught Chelsea out several times already.
-
48 'Kovacic strikes from outside the area after a KRA clearance. It had power and wasn't far off target.
-
47'Mendy arguing with his defence, telling them to listen after they gave away a corner by clearing a cross that was going out for a goal kick.
-
46'Chelsea probably had the better shake of things in the first half although it was by no means a rout. Let's see what Chelsea and Krasnodar can bring to the second half.
-
46'Second half has begun, let's go!
-
45'HT: Chelsea have had the edge on quality tonight but it has been close! There's sure to be more goals before the final whistle.
-
45'Krasnodar pull of a great attack just before the whistle. Mendy plucks the cross from the air.
-
44'Chelsea can be happy with 1-0 at HT. This really could have gone either way so far.
-
42'Kovacic was just offside from a great cross that he should have finished with his head!
-
40'Only one goal so far but the game is screaming for more. Both teams have quality going forward, it's a wonder more haven't been scored.
-
37'The keeper should have done better than that. Regardless, Chelsea go in front with 1-0 after having missed a penalty early on.
-
36 'Hudson-Odoi breaks the deadlock! It was a powerful shot that was initially stopped by the keeper but it bounced over him as he couldn't get behind it enough!
-
35'Great attacking momentum from Chelsea is well defended by Krasnodar. Can't help but think with a little more precision they could have gotten something from that attacking move. They had men in the box but couldn't find them.
-
33'KRA FK after Vilhena is brought down. It could take a set piece for anyone to pull ahead in this game.
-
32'Chelsea have so far failed to impress. Impressive individual performances from Mendy and Ziyech haven't materialised into anything so far.
-
29 'Ziyech fires off from outside the area but Safanov was on top of things. No problem for the keeper there.
-
28'Chelsea switch the play to Chilwell on the left wing desperately searching for any opening in the defence of KRA.
-
25'Havertz puts his arm into Utkin's neck in the area. The game is only stopped after the fact but that could have been a penalty.
-
24'Krasnodar are growing as the match goes on! Chelsea could be in trouble...
-
22'Krasnodar player handles the ball in Chelsea's area. He was through one on one with Mendy too. Chelsea were lucky there!
-
21 'Havertz is brought down by a sliding tackle from Ollson. He protested but there was no doubt that was a bookable offence.
-
19'Corner is cleared to make way for a long shot that Mendy easily collects. Chelsea in possession once again.
