    34'
    Maribor ease the pressure with a spell of possession at the back. They look so open in defence. This could finish seven or eight.

    Terry charged the full 90 yards to meet that cross. Great endeavour (although he was half a yard offside).

    GOAL! Chelsea 3-0 Maribor. The Blues break at phenomenal pace through Hazard, who gets to the edge of the area and waits for the overlap. It comes in the form of Fabregas, and the Spaniard flashes a pass across the goal face… And turned in by Terry! Eh, what's he doing up there? Maribor want a flag but the goal stands!
    30'
    Maribor force a corner. Chelsea deal with it comfortably and break at pace…
    29'
    Fabregas swings his legs over the ball, leaving the football sphere stationary, before cutting onto his right foot and having a pop. Blocked. Maribor are getting men back, but they can’t stop the crosses at present.
    28'
    A cross from the left flicks off a Maribor head and just evades the control of Drogba who spirals the ball away from goal. Almost another opening.
    27'
    The Maribor players are swarming upon Hazard whenever he wins the ball. The Belgian’s latest clout leaves him sprawled out on the turf.
    26'
    Mourinho strolls to the edge of his technical area to bark out instructions. His hands are flailing everywhere. What’s wrong, Jose?
    25'
    Chelsea flood forward again through Willian. A quick swivel right and has a chance to whip a delivery into the mixer. Maribor survive.

    GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Maribor. Game over? Didier Drogba smashes home the penalty into the left-hand side of the net. Lovely finish. Highly dubious call though.

    PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Major controversy. Yes, the ball strikes Mertelj’s hand in the box – but this is an extremely bold call from the referee. The Maribor player was about half a metre away!
    21'
    A clever passage of play from the visitors ends with an over-hit pass in midfield. Maribor have come to London to play and it’s refreshing to see.

    Willian floats in behind down the inside-right channel. Can he hit the target? He can’t. The flag’s up anyway.
    18'
    CHEEKY BUT FUTILE! Hazard tries to gallop after an audacious Ivanovic back-heel. He’s not getting that – three Maribor players block his path to goal.
    17'
    Filipe Luis dives in on Ales Mejac. The Maribor defender looks in some pain.

    CHELSEA SUB! Remy hobbles off to polite applause. A huge cheer greets the arrival of Didier Drogba.
    15'
    Cech leaves his line to claim the set-piece. The Stamford Bridge faithful love that. We might be saying farewell to Remy in a few moments…
    14'
    Maribor try and mount an instant response. Corner to the visitors.
