00:001-0. Jose has had some joy in terms of the chances that they've created, but no goals yet, Joe.
00:05What do you think will change in the second half?
00:06I don't think he'll change much, Laura. I think he'd be very happy with Harry's team set up.
00:10Chelsea have created a few chances, but I thought the shapes look good.
00:15But Jose will be more than happy. It's more of the same for him.
00:20Yeah, I think that we'll get more goals in the second half.
00:22And obviously, Chelsea need to get Tyree George a few more touches at the top of the pitch.
00:26OK, let's get into it. Ali and Adam, over to you.
00:28Thank you, Laura. Chelsea aiming for their first points of the league phase, and so far so good,
00:34but we certainly saw enough value in that first half for Benfica to suggest that there's a long way still to go in this game,
00:42and there could be more goals in it.
00:43No doubt about that. I'll stick by what we said at half-time, better chances were created for Benfica.
00:51Chelsea obviously very tidy in possession, Adam, but in terms of chances created,
00:55Chelsea Mourinho will be disappointed that they haven't scored.
01:01Early yellow card at the start of the second half for Buonanotte.
01:09I think that's very unfair. I really do.
01:12I genuinely do. I think he takes the ball and wins the ball first.
01:17Dare me.
01:18Second player of the night booked along with Enzo Fernandes.
01:30From a Chelsea perspective, of course, Berenicea on a yellow card as well for Benfica.
01:35I've just been hearing that there was a message from the referee to Enzo Fernandes as the players were coming out of the tunnel
01:46for the start of the second half to be careful on a yellow card.
01:51An experienced official, Daniel Zieber.
02:02He has announced the Bundesliga for a long time.
02:10Without slack, wasn't it, Mota Mendy?
02:17Here is Enzo Fernandes to Badia Shield.
02:19Here is Enzo Fernandes.
02:21Kukurea.
02:23Gun at you. Trapped by Rios.
02:37Chalaba.
02:42It's a good pressure on Benfica.
02:45Forcing the error.
02:49It's going to be really interesting to see how they do in the Primera Liga under Mourinho.
02:59In Porto at the weekend.
03:01Here's Surakoff.
03:03And Pavlidis is able to get on the turn.
03:05And Rios is up there.
03:06And Ausnes has got a great chance!
03:10Blanco's up and his play from Sanchez.
03:13But it was a really nice Benfica move there.
03:15I can't believe if his centre forward doesn't hit this.
03:17I really can't.
03:18I know he plays it wide, it's not a bad ball.
03:22But Pavlidis, who's in good form, just open up and smash that right now.
03:28Definitely opening up.
03:33That touch is heavy, but he's clearly half a yard offside.
03:36But again, surprised that...
03:38Pavlidis doesn't hit it.
03:40Just take a touch and smash it.
03:41He's only 18 yards out or so.
03:45Yeah, especially the form that he's been in.
03:47Five league goals in seven games.
03:49He's got a good record in this competition as well.
03:50The Greek centre forward, eight goals in 13 previous Champions League appearances.
04:01Good try forward by Caicedo.
04:06Rios has lost it.
04:09Won an Ote.
04:12A trip by Rios.
04:16He's going to be shown a yellow card.
04:18Yeah.
04:22He's struggling to get going a little bit, Rios.
04:26Comes across by Nantes, he catches his left foot.
04:30It's Benfica's most expensive summer signing and the fourth most expensive in their entire history.
04:36One or two nervy moments in the first half of the goalkeeper, Trubin.
04:51One here.
04:53Neto and Fernandes plotting.
04:55It's the signal from Neto.
05:15By Renicea with the header.
05:16Chalibar.
05:22Chalibar.
05:24One, that's all.
05:35Taisaito.
05:37Ariashil.
05:38Two such young squads, these Chelsea's by some distance, the youngest in the Premier League,
05:52average age of just over 23, Benfica's is just over 24.
05:56I saw that, Chelsea's last year, the youngest by a mile, wasn't it?
06:08Starting 11 tonight, between them before this evening, just over 40 Champions League appearances between them.
06:13Garnaccio.
06:18Luka Bakia.
06:19Oh, keeps it under pressure.
06:34Good well now.
06:37Shoulder Neto.
06:38He's played well tonight, Neto.
06:40Nice.
06:41He's been so high-rated in his homeland, Neto, and the youth coach of his saying he was captaining an under-15s team when he was 13.
06:58Pavlides, Luka Bakio to his right.
07:05Kukurea infirmly.
07:09Higher down from either side here.
07:11It's not Kaisedo, doesn't it?
07:21Well, I can tell you right away who got the worst of it, and it's not Kaisedo.
07:28We're gonna see the teenager, the Brazilian teenager, Esteban,
07:34in his Champions League debut on Matchday One at Bayern.
07:37His manager the other day, saying that he feels Cole Palmer can be a real great role model for him.
07:49Certainly will have advice in terms of how to deal with the pressures of being at such a big club at such a young age.
07:55Nodded down by Pavlides.
08:01Luka Bakio.
08:03Good battle again with Kukurea.
08:06Ausnes.
08:06Berenicea promising this for Benfica, Sudakov, lovely ball, and Ausnes is in there, and Sanchez did well, and Rios swung the boot on it, and now the flag goes off.
08:17It's never been great again.
08:24Ausnes is maybe just offside, Adam.
08:28He does well here, though, to keep it going.
08:31That's not offside.
08:34Should have called.
08:36And I'm not sure that has either.
08:39That would have been interesting.
08:40Rios swings, Adam.
08:41He's late for him.
08:45Not sure the way.
08:46So on comes.
08:48Just about replacing Guadagnotti from Sonny Jalicaba, which might have played into the decision from Maresca,
08:55but this is a player nicknamed Messinho in Brazil, Little Messi.
09:01What a lot of up to now.
09:02Quite a talent.
09:04I just think there's a scene in the team with number 41 who's going on to number 40.
09:08Today, Ali, where there was the left wing back wearing a number two.
09:14And that should be against the football wall, shouldn't it?
09:21I believe this has done well.
09:25And it comes to Sudakov.
09:28And that's not a bad ball.
09:31And the flag's gone up on the far side, but there's definitely a threat here from Benfica, who are having a go.
09:37Oh, brilliant feet, brilliant feet, right on the back line from Pobledis.
09:42Lovely feet.
09:43Stu Peek, get himself a half yard.
09:47Lovely to watch out, boys.
09:53So almost ten gone at the start of the second half.
09:57Pressure being applied by Mourinho's Benfica,
10:00who have numbers committed forward here, but that's such a poor delivery.
10:03What a waste.
10:04Terrible ball, isn't it?
10:07I'll have that out for a piece of control by Esteban.
10:11The crowd enjoyed that.
10:14Oh, well done.
10:17Pedro Neto.
10:21Demanding the ball.
10:23Esteban only just come on.
10:27I say that.
10:30Neto.
10:31Chelsea would love the comfort of a two-goal cushion.
10:36Pedro Neto.
10:38Caicedo.
10:41Wide wide by Badia Shield to Gusto.
10:49Better from Chelsea.
10:50Chelsea have already got five goals from set-pieces in the Premier League this season.
11:10That's as many as they've got from open play.
11:12Only Arsenal have scored more set-piece goals.
11:14Played that one short.
11:17Gusto.
11:19Esteban.
11:23Neto.
11:25Searching cross from him.
11:29One or two appeals for handball there.
11:31Modo glimpsed a goal to the Goods against Spurs in Norway.
11:46Looked like Tottenham had equalised, but that has since been ruled out.
11:49So 1-0 to the Norwegian side.
11:55It's actually remarkable there.
11:58Yeah, it's incredible.
11:59Can I remember?
12:00Mourinho's run.
12:01Doma.
12:02I remember it.
12:02Going there in...
12:04Tom Doma.
12:04A bloody nose, yeah.
12:05Yeah.
12:05Yeah.
12:05It's a little bit risky.
12:21They've managed to keep it.
12:25Sudakov.
12:26Certainly, Simmons are promising this second half for Benfica,
12:30but Chelsea still have the lead.
12:33Silva.
12:40Garnaccio looking to apply the pressure, but he dealt with it well.
12:43Antonio Silva.
12:47Rios.
12:50Aushness.
12:57Lucabaccio's held his position.
12:59Pavlidis is waiting in the box.
13:01Lucabaccio thought about hitting it early.
13:04Now Chelsea can look to counter here.
13:08Five forward in this attack.
13:11Led by Garnaccio.
13:12Cucuré goes on the outside.
13:14Tyreek George wakes in the middle.
13:15One of the shame.
13:17That's poor.
13:20He's got the option of Cucuré.
13:21The actual...
13:23It's devolved in a better option, I think.
13:25Mourinho feeling hard done by.
13:34No, not for me.
13:36Tries to cut him across.
13:38Just uses his chest.
13:39If anything, he uses his arm, doesn't he?
13:41If anything.
13:43Catches...
13:44There.
13:45Catches his arm, doesn't it?
13:46Nothing in, not for me, Adam.
13:54I say those here.
13:58Esteval is possessed by Berenicea.
14:01Aushness.
14:03Cousteau intervened quickly.
14:05Neto.
14:06Neto.
14:08Time and space here for Neto.
14:14And blue shirts arriving in the box.
14:20Neto might go low and it's a banta.
14:22That's a good block.
14:38Needed to be as well, Aushness got in the way.
14:41I was just wondering when he was going to pull the trigger there, weren't we?
14:47Enjoyed watching him tonight, Neto.
14:49When he's in a mood like this, where he's so direct, it's great to watch.
14:53I think he's been terrific, but I know I really do.
14:57So a double change coming from Oreska.
15:01Michel Padreau have been a down for the game with a knock.
15:04He's going to be coming on along with Gittens.
15:19So Tariq George, one of those coming off as the Chelsea fans sing the name of Jose Mourinho.
15:35Ban Ancho to come off as well.
15:36What have you made of his performance, Ali?
15:38I think he's been all right.
15:41He's probably been able for the goal, clearly.
15:43I think he's probably been overshadowed.
15:45His team made another flank.
15:47I think he's done away fine, but certainly the pick of the blinks has been Pedro Neto for me receiving on him so far.
15:55So is Jao Pedro on?
15:58I thought he was excellent away against Bayern on match day one.
16:04There's a Champions League runner-up with Dortmund.
16:17With all the injury problems he has right now, Oreska in certain areas of the pitch, he still has a luxury of options.
16:37He certainly has, but he is missing, I think, two key, very key players.
16:43The centre-back and obviously Palmer.
16:45Colwell's a big miss, isn't he?
16:46I think he's massive.
16:48Massiveness at the end.
16:51And Reina Cechai just holding his shoulder there.
16:58And he's just on.
16:59Jao Pedro.
17:02Already booked.
17:050-4, I think he's flailing at him, but...
17:09Let's see what Benfica can do with this.
17:17Luca Bacchio has come across.
17:21Sudakov...
17:22is there too.
17:31has been threat in both halves of the game.
17:41has been threat in both halves of the game.
17:43Luka Bakio weighing up the free kick.
17:58Delivery and Otamendi got a touch to it.
18:04As soon as he's going for it, he has to touch the ball or take the ball.
18:25Five miles late, isn't he?
18:28Right under the nose of the Royal.
18:31He used to play for Feyenoord at Aushness.
18:37And the slogan reads, deeds not words.
18:40And I almost thought that fitted him perfectly.
18:43Hard-working player, João Pedro.
18:50Giddens, nice chance to have a run at the full-back.
18:55And he's crossed towards Pedro Neto.
19:01Gusta, good ball to Caicedo.
19:10Esteve Howard made a run into the box.
19:13Came off Berenicea.
19:18Some more attempts thanks to the Benfica, haven't they?
19:27One more on target than Chelsea.
19:30Sudakov put under pressure by Gusta, they certainly invested over the summer, Benfica in a bit to get back to the very top.
19:40The Portuguese football spent just over 90 million euro.
19:49It's now a club who've always sold so well, haven't they?
19:52Some of the names that have gone through that club.
19:55It's not an awful lot of money to be spending, isn't it, really?
20:00If you're not one of the big leagues, it's an awful lot of money.
20:04But as you correctly say, they tend to get it back and some, don't they?
20:08They looked at their ten biggest sales in their history, which totalled 706 million euro.
20:17Their estimated transfer profit in the last decade up to the summer of 2024 was 743 million, which was 250 million more than any other club in that ten years.
20:29That's incredible.
20:30It's not just that they produce their own players really well through their academy, but they very often buy South Americans.
20:39Of course they do.
20:40And develop them, don't they?
20:41Of course they do.
20:42Fernandes is an example of that.
20:43Yeah.
20:44A well over a 60 million pound profit in that, wasn't it?
20:47Yeah.
20:59Imagine if they've been able to keep their players over the years.
21:02I think an 11 that they could have put together.
21:04Ederson, Rimaldo, Anterio Silva, Ruben Díaz, Cancelo, Gio Neves, Senso Fernandes, Gio Felix, Darwin Núñez, Bernardo Silva, Gonzalo Ramos.
21:14They wouldn't have been bad, would they?
21:20Luca Bacchia tried the flick and it didn't come off.
21:23He's determined to atone for the error, the Chelsea fans feel that should have been a free kick though.
21:32Yeah, I'm not sure it was, and the referee once again spotting his positional Daniel Siebert.
21:37Can I say, they're so quick to get to Aushness there.
21:44Have a Brighton game at the weekend, he'd made the most tackles and most interceptions of any other player in the top five European leagues this season, Kai Seido.
21:59He does such hard work for the team.
22:01Yeah, it's quite a start, that.
22:03Just needed a shout there, Badia Shield with Rios.
22:15Just lost his balons, didn't he have lost his balons on him?
22:18Just for a moment.
22:19Yeah.
22:20Correa with the throw-in for Chelsea.
22:26Correa with the throw-in then for Chelsea.
22:43João Pedro.
22:51Looking to get that to the winning way, Senza Maresca, just over 20 minutes to go they still have that narrow advantage, the Blues, Huka Bakio.
23:21Silva, Otamendi, given away by Dahl to Neto, Otamendi,
23:49Huka Bakio, Rios.
24:01He's panicked a little bit more, it's poor, it's really poor, I don't know if it's a concerning thing a little bit from Chelsea's point and they have with a lot of possession he said but haven't really created an awful lot Adam.
24:19That might change with Pedro coming on the pitch but...
24:25Just the two attempts on target.
24:31That's what's going on from Chalabar, Neto for Chelsea.
24:35That's into a brilliant area and it needed to be defended, an important touch there.
24:39That's a header, that is defensive.
24:43I'll tell you right now, that's a brilliant header.
24:49A critical Aubame earlier on, two minutes ago with a pass he knocked out the pitch, more than made up through that defensive header there, Antonio Silva.
24:59Tremendous ball in by here, some treatment to Antonio Silva.
25:05corner two young promising Portuguese centre-backs they've got on their books, Araujo is another who is on the bench.
25:1920 minutes to go here.
25:23Both these sides looking to get off the mark in the Champions League.
25:27League face.
25:31More notes being made by Mourinho.
25:40It's a turn to his bench.
25:42Odo Glimp now, 2-1 up against Tottenham in Norway.
25:55And De Venn has got one back for Spurs.
25:58They're just a bit concerned here about the man who put his head on that cross, Silva.
26:03I think the goalkeeper Drew might have come through and made contact with him.
26:11That's why we have this break in play, remind you that we have so much more European football to come this midweek.
26:18On Thursday, we have eight British and Irish teams in action across the UEFA, Europa and Conference League.
26:24TNT Sports is the only place to watch every match live from both competitions.
26:29What a night it will be at the City Grand Forest against Michelin.
26:33At De Kaup, it's Feyenoord against Villa Sturm Graz.
26:37At home to Rangers, Celtic, entertain Brake.
26:40And Palace get their Conference League campaign underway in Poland against Dynamo Kyiv.
26:45And we're at the atmospheric Ellum Road on Saturday lunchtime for this weekend's live Premier League game.
26:53Leeds against Tottenham, always a brilliant atmosphere there.
27:03So on comes the player I just mentioned, Thomas Araujo, who's come through the youth system at Benfica.
27:11There were times last season when he was preferred to Antonio Silva by the previous coach, Bruno Larch, one of the UEFA Youth League winning squad of 2022, but...
27:25Silva off, Araujo on.
27:30Chelsea with a corner.
27:47It goes from Fernandes, flicked on by Neto.
27:59So, three more changes coming from Mourinho.
28:03It's all happening there, isn't it?
28:07Action stations are eager to get on.
28:10You can't blame them, Sheldrup there.
28:12One of those coming on.
28:19Another is one of the summer signings, Ivanovic.
28:2421-year-old Croatian international.
28:2721-year-old Croatian international.
28:31Aushness.
28:32Esteval.
28:33Dahl.
28:34Sudakov.
28:35Aushness.
28:36The space down the right, that's where it goes.
28:37Aushness.
28:38Esteval.
28:39Dahl.
28:40Sudakov.
28:41Aushness, the space down the right, that's where it goes.
28:42Aushness.
28:43Esteval.
28:44Esteval.
28:45Esteval.
28:50Dahl.
28:51Sudakov.
28:52Aushness, the space down the right, that's where it goes.
28:55Here, Benfica.
28:56Otamendi.
28:57There is an onus on them.
28:58Even though they've thrown away at the Premier League side.
29:00It's that first game against Karabac.
29:01This bench will give them it.
29:02And Ivanovic is somebody who's capable for it.
29:03It's the first game against Karabac.
29:04It's the first game against Karabac.
29:05It's the first game against Karabac.
29:06It's the first game against Karabac.
29:07It's the first game against Karabac.
29:08And Ivanovic is somebody who's capable of doing that.
29:25I say, though, by the way, he's completed all of his 53 passes so far tonight.
29:33A good display from him in that midfield as the decision goes against Jean-Pedro.
29:51Already been booked, Jean-Pedro, to be careful.
29:55I take your point, but look, he's not touched his face at all when he gets down holding his face.
30:00Come on, look.
30:01That's pathetic.
30:02Doesn't he touch his face like anywhere near his face?
30:06No.
30:07So Borreiro, Ivanovic and Sheldrup all about to come on.
30:22Ivanovic, a Croatian international.
30:24Borreiro plays for Luxembourg.
30:27Argentina against Brazil there.
30:32Which is rarely friendly.
30:36Oh, I don't see it.
30:37Who could actually miss the first game of next summer's World Cup?
30:43Otamendi sent off in his last Argentina appearance against Ecuador.
30:48A little bit of confusion as to whether it would keep him out of the first game of the World Cup, but that's what they're saying.
30:53Said that he'll retire from international football after that tournament.
31:03Really interesting to see here now, Ali, particularly with these changes he's gonna make Mourinho where they'll really look to try and force the issue.
31:14How I got you.
31:15They're half to, don't they?
31:16They're half to, don't they?
31:17They're half to, don't they?
31:18Luka Bakio coming off, isn't it?
31:21Luka Bakio off, Sudakhoff and Krios.
31:25Ivanovic, where's number nine, helped fire Udi and San Gilrois to their first top-life title in 90 years.
31:44Last season got 21 goals for them.
31:50I don't think there's any change in the shape.
31:52Benfica just looked pretty much light from light in terms of the positioning.
32:03Cucuré.
32:14Usta.
32:26Played forward by Aushnes.
32:29Shelled up straight into the thick of the action.
32:33Borreiro's on the edge of the box.
32:36Aushnes has been found.
32:38Taken open by Fernandes, and now Chelsea can break.
32:42Gettens to the left, so is Cucuréa.
32:45Jean-Pedro's gone through the middle.
32:47Esteval towards the edge of the area.
32:50Neto's making his way in too.
32:52Enzo Fernandes, Erstechu, Esteval with the header.
32:56Saved by Trubin.
32:58He has to be offside, surely, no?
33:03I might be totally wrong, he does come from deep, I'll give him that.
33:08He comes really deep.
33:10Oh, that's tight.
33:12To be fair, he probably times it exceptionally well.
33:16Sits fired into Jean-Pedro, maybe a little bit too much pace on the ball.
33:26Just felt at times tonight like they've really missed the invention and creativity of Carl Palmer.
33:30Yeah.
33:31They really have, and I actually think they've missed a focal point in the centre-forward position as well, to tell you the truth, Adam.
33:37Sheldrup
33:46Marinicea
33:51Herrero, Sheldrup, things some nice stuff here Benfica, Pavlides.
33:59Chelsea can't keep it.
34:02Marinicea, they are just starting to turn up the heat a little bit here, Mourinho, son.
34:06It's not about making another opportunity for the centre forward to have a shot at goal.
34:11Well, same as you, I thought he'd put his boots on.
34:13Yeah!
34:24So Champong and James coming on here.
34:32Straight and swap from this near side.
34:35Busco replaced.
34:45He has got valuable minutes under his belt tonight.
34:48Badia Sheer has done well when he can sit around and he had 10 minutes of action this season.
34:53You're right.
35:02Champong.
35:03Come on.
35:05Replace it.
35:06Rhys James takes on the armband, the last remaining member of the team that won the Champions League in 2021.
35:13To the final 10 minutes.
35:23Chelsea edging their way to be a really important victory in three points.
35:33Kukureya.
35:34Esteval waits in the box.
35:35Enzo Fernandes on the edge of it.
35:39It will be a really important victory in three points.
35:42Kukureya.
35:47Esteval waits in the box.
35:48Enzo Fernandes on the edge of it.
35:49Looks by Gibbons.
35:50Yvanovic.
35:59Is there something in this game yet with Mourinho's side?
36:10Yvanovic.
36:12Yvanovic.
36:13Yvanovic.
36:14Yvanovic.
36:17Yvanovic.
36:24Pavlidis
36:37Gal
36:41Gal driving forward
36:45And Ivanovic might hit this
36:48Well blocked on the edge of the area
36:50Chelsea can't keep it
36:55Just invite a bit more pressure
36:56Sheldroop was found by Otamendi
36:59Now Snes will get to this
37:03And it's up Rhys James
37:06Good will we get back James
37:08But then Pika fans behind the goal
37:12Suggesting there was an arm involved here
37:14The referee pointed at his chest
37:16So yelling for Otamendi there wasn't it
37:20We're quick to appeal that
37:24Still asking the question
37:28Seven minutes of the 90 to go
37:47Chelsea a goal for the good
37:49And Pika threatened from the corner
37:51Swung in there by Ousnes
37:53Dal
37:58Who again shows ambition
38:00And plays in a good ball as well
38:02Now this could be interesting
38:04Wide
38:05Wide
38:05Did well in the left hand side
38:09Dalbert
38:09He gets by
38:10The two players far too easy
38:13Estevallo and Neczo far too easily
38:16Sheldroop's left foot
38:21And the shot early with his right foot
38:23Talk about how Chelsea have got this really young side
38:31The average age just over 23
38:33By far the youngest in the Premier League
38:35And I guess they're learning on the job
38:37As Joe Cole said
38:38Before the game
38:39Only in the Champions League
38:41I think we saw a bit of that
38:41From the rest of the side in their second half
38:43Performance against Bayern
38:44Where I thought the nous and the know-how
38:45From Bayern took over
38:47But closing out a game like this
38:49Will be really important
38:50For their development as a team
38:51100%
38:52Particularly after the resultant
38:54Munich as well
38:55Neto's done really well
38:59He's got options in the middle as well
39:01Neto
39:01Straight into the
39:04Keepers midriff
39:05Barrera
39:09Barrera chair
39:31And numbers getting forward for Benfica
39:37Pablidis has gone through the middle
39:38Ivanovic wanted it on the edge of the box
39:40Goes wide instead to Aushnes
39:43Barrera chair
39:47Five to go
39:48Children
39:57Play on says the referee
40:03And it's with
40:04Esteval
40:05Fernandes
40:18James
40:27Fika get the throw in
40:45It's a little bit scrappy
40:47Pablidis
41:02And they're still far from giving up hope here
41:09Benfica
41:09He's getting from going isn't he
41:12Pablidis
41:13Another corner
41:22For Chelsea to defend
41:23Can they see this out
41:25Just over three minutes to go
41:27Dahl to take it
41:34So many red shirts in the box
41:37And it was fired towards goal in the end by the captain Otamendi
41:41Who just didn't get enough purchase on the shot
41:43Chelsea are making their own problems
41:46Ivanovic
41:47And Pavlidis is waiting in the box
41:50And it was tidied up by
41:51Caicedo
41:52But again
41:53Maybe we'll just keep it
41:56That's that game management we were talking about
42:11Looking for Neto
42:17The eighth yellow card of the game
42:31The eighth yellow card of the game
42:31Chelsea are making the ball
42:40Aushness
42:40Good work by Kukurea
42:44This is a really good run
42:49He's looking for Jaapedra
42:52And he's looking for me
42:53On the same wavelength
42:54And Otamendi comes across in blocks
42:57Centre forward
42:59Doesn't allow him to run in behind them there
43:01It's Liverpool here for Chelsea next in the Premier League
43:07The next Champions League game against Ajax at the bridge
43:09Benfica have their first Oclasico of the season
43:13Against Porto
43:14On Sunday
43:16We've got a player down here
43:17I thought he might fall enough
43:29Mourinho looking to make a change here
43:35Enrique Araujo is coming on
43:38He's a forward
43:40Aushness taken off a midfielder
43:47The loan spell at Watford
43:49The player who's
43:50Has come on
43:52And hearing at the moment
43:56The expectation for Addy time is six minutes
43:58A minimum of six minutes
44:00In the 90th minute of the game
44:04It's been far from vintage Chelsea
44:06But they're heading ever closer
44:08Sheldrup
44:15Padledis
44:17Nice feet
44:18Nice bit of skill
44:24And again
44:25That's brilliant
44:26Beautiful
44:27That's such a shame
44:31Wasn't it beautiful to watch that
44:32Close control
44:33Superb
44:34Sheldra
44:40Ivanovic has certainly put himself about
44:42Since he came on
44:43On the ball again here
44:44And wins his side
44:45The corner
44:46He's looked really alive
44:48This is his boy
44:48Ivanovic hasn't been six minutes up there
44:52And we are into it now
44:54He'll here yet have calls for celebration
45:00The fullback will take it
45:10The out swinger
45:12Towards that near post
45:13Where Berenicek
45:14I think that's a chance
45:16They really do it
45:21Oh Jake's a few kicks
45:28Corner kick comes in
45:29Nice, still a chance
45:33That you know
45:33It's away from Rhys James
45:36Deadish
45:52Chelsea
46:00Holted in their tracks
46:02He's had to rein himself in a little bit there
46:07For Nantes
46:07With the deal
46:09Having already been booked
46:10It was a long time ago
46:12That warning though
46:12Wasn't it?
46:13Yeah
46:14Mourinho unbeaten since his
46:20Return to Benfica
46:2325 years after
46:24His first at the club
46:26Is his first defeat
46:29Going to come out the bridge
46:30Place where
46:31He says
46:32Feels like home
46:33Another four minutes to go
46:37Good strength shown by James
46:50Yellow card
47:07Shown in the direction of the
47:09Benfica bench
47:11Not Jose Mourinho
47:19Just to update you
47:20By the way
47:21On the score
47:21In Norway
47:22Tottenham have got
47:23An 88th minute
47:25Equaliser
47:25Through an open goal
47:262-2 there
47:28He's got Benfica's way
47:38Down with the throwing
47:49Pavlidis
47:51Just really really scrappy
48:07In the last five minutes
48:08They've really had to grind
48:10Chelsea haven't they
48:11They won't disappoint Chelsea
48:12Too much
48:13I think the circumstances
48:17I'll take that
48:18Particularly having lost
48:19On match day one
48:20Beaten at the weekend
48:21In the premier league
48:22As well
48:22Touch by Ivanovic
48:26Enzo Fernandez
48:33Kittens
48:35Could they get the second
48:36That would kill the game off
48:38Petro to his right
48:40Just haven't run to it
48:42Too long
48:43Dedic
48:45Just a correction
48:56I didn't think Mourinho
48:58Had been booked
48:58But it was Mourinho
49:00Who was shown a yellow card
49:01On this
49:03Return to the bridge
49:05I don't think there's any doubt about that Adam
49:18They look back and certainly think they created more than enough chances to go on the score sheet
49:21They haven't given up too many chances either
49:37Too many chances either
49:38But it's easy to win as it's big big three points
49:42For Chelsea after the open result in Munich
49:46And a lift ahead of a big game against Liverpool
49:51Oh great game of the weekend
49:53Oh dear
49:54Oh no
49:55No no
49:56He's not
49:56Surely not
49:57He is you know
49:59Yeah it's going to be a red card
50:01Who knows what's coming here
50:02João Pedro
50:03On as a second half sub
50:05And sent off
50:08By Daniel Siebert
50:10Will miss the next game
50:13Against Ajax
50:16He's too high
50:20I don't think for a minute he catches him or does he
50:24Definitely from that angle
50:27And yet another game in which a Chelsea player has been shown a red card
50:32Amazing
50:32Amazing
50:33Barrera was down
50:36Setting the boots up
50:38Suggesting to the referee that he didn't touch the player
50:46No and I'm not sure he did
50:47I think Barrera maybe made the most of it
50:50But when you lift your foot not high
50:53And you're on the wrist
50:55So into a seventh minute of added time at the bridge
51:01And Chelsea down to 10 for the final seconds here
51:04Will it be a last chance perhaps for Mourinho's men
51:09Barrera surely it's just got to go long here
51:18Up towards Otamendi
51:25Came off the back of Caicedo
51:29Brera in a chair
51:29It's a five shelter
51:31Really good back from Rhys James
51:33Into an eighth minute of added time
51:38Two balls on the pitch
51:40And Jose
51:42Managed to get himself on the pitch much to the delight of the Chelsea fans
51:47Otamendi
51:54Surely it's now or never for Benfica
51:57Any well will do for Chelsea
52:02And they are up and running in the Champions League
52:07Benfica beaten at the bridge
52:10Moresca overcomes Mourinho
52:12A big three points after a difficult couple of weeks
52:18The special ones return to West London
52:20Will perhaps leave him with a warm heart
52:22But no points
52:23This is his first defeat since taking the job
52:27It's back to back losses
52:29In the Champions League for Benfica
52:32But Chelsea are off the mark
52:35They really had to grind it out though Ali
52:37Absolutely Adam
52:38Listen
52:38It was all about the result this evening
52:41Wasn't out to mention
52:42Coming off the defeat Munich
52:43And important to get three points
52:44They did that
52:45Not a lot more than that
52:47I've got to say to you
52:48They didn't create an awful lot
52:49They got to go with the OG
52:50Rios is second
52:51Actually coming in the back post
52:52Rios knocking into his own goal
52:54Got to be brutally honest
52:56Manfica had the better chances
52:58I'm not sure they did enough though
53:00Manfica
53:00I think Mourinho feel a little bit disappointed
53:03But massive three points for Chelsea
53:05And they'll be delighted
53:06Yeah a big step in the right direction
53:09For Mourinho's young side
53:11And after what happened at the weekend
53:12After what happened in Munich
53:14It was so important
53:16That however they did it
53:17That they got the positive result tonight
53:19Absolutely Adam
53:19When I lost three of the last four
53:21Didn't they?
53:21It was all about the result
53:22The result was far more important
53:24Than the performance
53:25The performance
53:26It would be interesting
53:28I hope the manager says
53:28I thought it was okay
53:29I thought it was probably satisfactory
53:31They're good
53:32Some good performances
53:33Individual performances
53:34I thought it's on the right hand side
53:36In particular
53:36I thought Cooke Correa
53:37Left back did well
53:38Center backs were fine
53:39Apart from that
53:40It wasn't an awful lot
53:41To reach George
53:42I think we'll be a little bit disappointed
53:44But
53:46To mention three points again
53:48Most important thing
53:50Manfica
53:50I wonder if they've got regrets
53:52I wonder if Chelsea
53:53Just have one or two regrets
53:54That he didn't go for it
53:55Was slightly more aggressive
53:56Actually
53:57Yeah
53:57He gave me a lot of
53:59I think he said
54:01That hebert
54:01And just needs a lot to equations
54:02That he's going for it
54:02Let's see
