Transcript
00:00as they walk out of the tight tunnel at Stamford Bridge into the arena match day to Chelsea
00:11against Benfica still a teenager Tyreek George just 19 years of age big responsibility for
00:21him I'm delighted to have Alan Smith alongside me for this one Alan you know the Mourinho
00:26return is a great story of course but maybe a little bit of a sideshow because both teams really need a
00:32win yes they do Chelsea obviously losing over in Germany to Bayern Munich that's not a disaster
00:40for them but it certainly was for Benfica at home to Carabao 2-0 up end up losing so they've got a lot
00:48to do but you never quite know what to expect from Chelsea Mureska's Chelsea these days and he's got
00:54a job on his hands doesn't he to hoist Benfica up to the levels he's used to
00:59and it will be Benfica who get this game underway kicking from left to right this is a repeat
01:07of the 2013 Europa League final won by Chelsea in Amsterdam
01:14not with Mourinho at the helm
01:19Mourinho won many things with Chelsea but never a European trophy here we go Benfica from left to right
01:28on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk he's
01:31a lot about him and he's uh he's got the move he was looking for away from Shakhtar as the ball is
01:37given away very carelessly and Enzo Fernandes arrived and drove it drove it wide very exciting
01:44he's Kukurel and he's given it away very badly into Dodi Lukabacchio
01:49Lukabacchio to Sudarkov Algenes in the middle this is Lukabacchio I think it's come off the woodwork
01:56maybe via a Sanchez touch twice now they've gone in yeah and they will be encouraged big time
02:02by those two attacks
02:07just staying on side I think shooting from there a little ambitious he was never properly set either but
02:22Pedro Neto getting the better of Dahl it's a chance here for Garnaccio if it'll sit down
02:32and when the old UEFA Cup in FC Porto that's a drill shot
02:44no wonder he apologizes there the red shirt streaming forward in support
03:02so
03:05stepping into the line to pick it off was Ottomendi finding Aujnes
03:11okay back to Niklas Ottomendi
03:16who's 37 now the Argentine
03:26it's picked off and Richard Rios can get Benfica moving and he
03:35turns it into Lukabacchio and Richard Rios here and straight into the gloves of Robert Sanchez
03:43another really promising Benfica moment Chelsea looks so nervous on the back foot
03:49really disorganized
03:51really disorganized
03:55Cucurella
03:57Richard Rios intervention meant that Cucurella's pass went astray
04:03actually being with a misjudgment but luckily the ball didn't have a lot of pace on it
04:17I believe he's crushed off
04:26Pedro Neto running at Dahl
04:29good hit
04:30maybe he's given it
04:34maybe he's given it them if they're going to allow him to come inside onto that left foot
04:38he's going to test you
04:40and he's done well since coming to Chelsea
04:44and Pedro Neto
04:56lovely clip ball
04:57Garnaccio
04:58a goal
04:59in off Richard Rios
05:03Chelsea have the lead
05:05it's a brilliant ball by Pedro Neto
05:08Garnaccio struck it first time back across goal
05:11and the Benfica midfielder Richard Rios could not get out of the way
05:23well Pedro Neto has been their most dangerous player so far
05:27always looking to be positive with that pace of his as well as the delivery
05:33he's got acres hasn't he Garnaccio at the far post there
05:36and Rios just cannot adjust his feet it comes to him so quickly
05:41he's virtually under his own crossbar here
05:46really difficult to deal with this one
05:56Pedro Neto with a change of pace
05:59there he goes on Guadagnaccio
06:03Trubin
06:04I said a well controlled Cucurella
06:13Tyreek George with the jab
06:14good save by Trubin
06:18this was the chance
06:19could play Cucurella again
06:20he might even have time to encounter here
06:26Alejandro Garnaccio
06:28Aujnes brought him down
06:29that'll be a free kick at the very least
06:32and actually the referee says that'll do
06:34Sasha Stegger in the fourth
06:35Christian Dinger at the VAR
06:37not required as yet
06:39there were moments early on in that first half where Benfica really troubled Chelsea
06:44once the home side got their noses in front
06:47with Gittins
06:48Esteval and João Pedro
06:50and Pedro Neto in the middle
06:52Enzo Fernandes clipped and tipped over the top
06:56actually tipped up in the air by Trubin to deny
06:59Esteval
07:01I think he's going on the pitch
07:03and he'll stretch in a little bit for this Esteval
07:10tight for offside
07:17Shell dropped the Norwegian to take this corner kick
07:21glanced away Otamendi back in but straight at Robert Sanchez
07:24straightforward say
07:26dying for a decent delivery into the box here
07:28something they can attack
07:30in it goes from Dahl this time
07:34Darren Akeas near post flick has carried it behind for a goal kick
07:38six added minutes though
07:40it looks like it's going to be back-to-back defeats for Benfica at the start of this
07:43Champions League League phase
07:46that's a high boot by João Pedro
07:49and he is going to get a red card here
07:52he's already been booked and João Pedro will have to go
07:56he's been sent off
08:02now it's a blow for Chelsea they haven't got too
08:05and Cugrela with a clearance
08:08and all eyes on the referee who calls it a day
08:11and Chelsea have won it by a goal to nil
08:16take a look out
