There you have it, Chelsea with another impressive win - on paper only though, as they were shaky and Zilina should have scored more. The Blues go top of Group F with Spartak Moscow winning 1-0 at Bayern.
90+1
Jez does take, and he sends it yards over.
90'
Zilina have a free-kick on the edge of the D... Jez will take... They take an age over it...
89'
Two minutes of added time.

CHELSEA SUB: Van Aaholt on for Malouda.
88'
Kakuta has the ball in the back of the net but Anelka was offside as he knocked it back to the youngster.
87'
Angelovic takes one touch too many and falls over to the away fans' delight.
87'
Zilina clear the corner but Terry can shoot, although he makes a mess of it and spoons the ball wide. He looks knackered.
86'
Anelka is chasing the match ball but sends his shot well wide. Took a deflection so a corner.
85'
Ivanovic bombs forward and finds Kakuta, near post for Anelka but cleared.
84'
McEachran is offside after Zhirkov sends him through, margina.
83'
Free kick to Chelsea which Kakuta and Terry try to work in but the hosts clear and Terry has to run back.
82'
Good shot from Essien that bounces in front of the keeper, who parries it nervously. Throw.
81'
Possession is 48-52 now. Well done Zilina. Should have put those chances away!

ZILINA SUB: Guldan on for Angelovic.
77'
The home fans are roused by this second-half performance against a Chelsea team who, frankly, should wipe the floor with this group.
76'
Majtan cuts in from the left and has a crack from range, but his shot is deflected into the arm of Cech.
75'
Zilina are keeping the ball well now, and circulating it quickly.
74'
Malouda gets in down the left and cuts inside off the ball, but Kakuta can't find him, spanking a cross wildly over instead. Odd decision from the youngster.
