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.
12:05Yeah.
12:05Yeah.
12:07Yeah.
12:09Yeah.
12:11Yeah.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Yeah.
12:14Yeah.
12:14Yeah.
12:15Yeah.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Yeah.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Yeah.
12:19It's a little bit risky.
12:21They've managed to keep it.
12:24Sudakov.
12:26Certainly, Simmons are promising this second half for Benfica, but Chelsea still have the lead.
12:36Silva.
12:40Garnaccio looking to apply the pressure, but he dealt with it well.
12:43Antonio Silva.
12:47Rios.
12:49Aushness.
12:57Lucabaccio's held his position, Pavlidis is waiting in the box, Lucabaccio thought about hitting it early.
13:04Now Chelsea can look to counter here.
13:08Five forward in this attack.
13:10Led by Garnaccio, led by Garnaccio, Cucuré goes on the outside, Tyrant George wakes in the middle, one of the shame.
13:16Oh, it's poor.
13:17Oh, it's poor.
13:18He's got the option of Cucuré here, the actual, Mr. Val would be the better option, I think.
13:23He's got the option of Cucuré here, the actual, Mr. Val would be the better option, I think.
13:25Grouinio feeling hard, done by.
13:33Man if you think that's what you think.
13:34No, not for me.
13:35Tries to cut him across, just uses his chest, if anything he uses his arm, doesn't it?
13:41if anything catches there catches his arm doesn't it nothing in that for me Adam
13:54I say those help
13:58Mr Val is possessed by Varenicea Ausnes
14:03Cousteau intervene quickly Neto
14:11time and space here for Neto and blue shirts arriving in the box
14:33Neto might go alone it's a fantastic run that's a good block needed to be as well Ausnes got in the way
14:40I was just wondering when he was going to pull the trigger there weren't me
14:47enjoyed watching him tonight Pedro Neto when he's in a mood like this where he's so direct it's great to watch
14:53I think he's been terrific for an hour I really do
14:57so a double change coming from Oreska Michel Padre who had been a down for the game with a knock
15:04he's going to be coming on along with Gittens
15:10so Tariq George one of those coming off as the Chelsea fans sing the name of Jose Mourinho
15:34Garnaccio to come off as well what have you made of his performance Ali I think he's been all right
15:41he's probably been able for the goal clearly I think he's probably been overshadowed his teammate
15:45on the flank I think he's done away fine but certainly the pick of the bunch has been Pedro Neto for me
15:51I thought he was excellent away against Bayern on match day one
16:04there's a Champions League runner-up with Dortmund
16:17the injury problems he has right now Oreska in certain areas of the pitch he still has a luxury of options
16:36certainly certainly certainly has but he is missing I think two key very key players
16:42the centre-back and obviously Palmer Colwell's a big miss oh I think he's massive massive miss at the injury
16:49the chair just holding his shoulder there
16:58and he just on Gio Pedro already booked
17:050-4 I think he's flailing at him but
17:09let's see what Benfica can do with this Luca Bacchio has come across
17:20Sudakov
17:23is there too
17:29has been a threat in both halves of the game
17:39the free kick
17:58delivery and Rota Mendy got a touch to it
18:00as soon as he's going for it he has to touch the ball I'll take the ball
18:17I'll take the ball
18:26and he's male's late hasn't he
18:28right under the nose of the Rota
18:29yes
18:34used to play for Feyenoord to Aushness
18:38and the slogan reads deeds not words and I almost thought that fitted him perfectly
18:43the working player
18:44and he's got a chance to have a run at the full-back
18:55and his cross towards Pedro Neto
19:06Gusto good ball to Caicedo
19:09strookof
19:14is
19:21and one more
19:22and one more on target than Chelsea
19:35pressure by gusto they certainly invested over the summer
19:38Benfica in a bit to get back to the very top of the Portuguese football,
19:42spent 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.
19:57It's not an awful lot of money to be spending, isn't it, really?
20:01If you're not one of the big leagues, it's an awful lot of money.
20:05But as you correctly say, they tend to get it back and some, don't they?
20:11I looked at their ten biggest sales in their history, which totaled 706 million euro.
20:18Their estimated transfer profit in the last decade, up to the summer of 2024,
20:23was 743 million, which was 250 million more than any other club in that ten years.
20:30That's incredible.
20:31It's not just that they produce their own players really well through their academy,
20:37but they very often buy South Americans and develop them, don't they?
20:41Of course they do.
20:42Fernandes is an example of that.
20:43Yeah, well over a 60 million pound profit in that, wasn't it?
20:46Imagine 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,
21:09Senza Fernandes, Gio Felix, Darwin Nunez, Bernardo Silva, Gonzalo Ramos.
21:15They wouldn't have been bad, would they?
21:16Benari.
21:16Benari.
21:20Luca Bacchia tried the flick and it didn't come off.
21:27He's determined to atone for the error.
21:30The Chelsea fans feel that should have been a free kick though.
21:32Yeah, I'm not sure it was, and the referee once again spoiling his positional.
21:37Daniel Cbert.
21:37I say they're so quick to get to Aushness there.
21:50At the Brighton game at the weekend, he'd made the most tackles and most interceptions of
21:55any other player in the top five European leagues this season.
21:58Kai Seido does such hard work for the team.
22:01Yeah, it's quite a start, that.
22:07Just needed a shout there, Badia Shield with Rios.
22:15Just lost his balons, didn't he have lost his balons, Adam?
22:18Just for a moment.
22:19Yeah.
22:37No!
22:41For Correia with the throw in, then, for Chelsea.
22:51Giau Pedro.
22:54Who?
22:55To get that to the winning way, Senza Maresca.
23:08Just over 20 minutes to go, they still have that narrow advantage, the Blues.
23:13Look at that here.
23:25Silva, Otamendi, given away by Dahl to Neto, Otamendi.
23:55Look at Bacchia, Rios.
24:08Just panicked a little bit more.
24:10It's really poor.
24:12I don't know if it's a certain thing, a little bit from Chelsea's point,
24:14and they have with a lot of possession, as you said,
24:16but haven't really created an awful lot, Adam.
24:21That might change with Pedro coming on the pitch, but...
24:25Just the two attempts on target.
24:30Good work from Chalabar.
24:32Neto for Chelsea.
24:35That's into a brilliant area, and it needed to be defended,
24:37an important touch there.
24:40What a header, that is defensively.
24:43I'll tell you right now, that's a brilliant header.
24:48A critical over him earlier on, two minutes ago with a pass,
24:52he knocked out the pitch.
24:52More than made up through that defensive header there, Antonio Silva.
25:00Tremendous ball in by.
25:01Go here to...
25:02some treatment to Antonio Silva.
25:07One or two, young promising Portuguese centre-backs they've got on their books.
25:11out of Ullo is another who is on the bench.
25:20So, 20 minutes to go here.
25:23Both these sides looking to get off the mark in the Champions League.
25:28League face.
25:28And more notes being made by Mourinho.
25:40It's a turn to his bench.
25:41Odo Glimp now, 2-1 up against Tottenham in Norway.
25:56And De Venn has got one back for Spurs.
25:58And they're just a bit concerned here about the man who put his head on that cross, Silva.
26:02I don't think the goalkeeper drew and might have come through and made contact with him.
26:11That's why we have this break in play.
26:14Remind 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.
26:25TNT Sports is the only place to watch every match live from both competitions.
26:30What a night.
26:30It'll be at the City Ground Forest against Michelin.
26:34At De Kamp, it's Feyenoord against Villa Sturmgratz.
26:38At home to Rangers, Celtic, Entertain, Braga.
26:40And Palace get their Conference League campaign underway in Poland against Dynamo Kiev.
26:45And we're at the atmospheric Ellum Road on Saturday lunchtime for this weekend's live Premier League game.
26:53Leeds against Tottenham.
26:56Always a brilliant atmosphere there.
27:03So on comes the player I just mentioned, Thomas Araujo.
27:08He'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 L'Arche.
27:18One of the UEFA Youth League winning squad of 2022.
27:22But Silva off, Araujo on.
27:30Chelsea with a corner.
27:32He goes from Fernandes, flicked on by Neto.
27:49So three more changes coming from Mourinho.
28:03It's all happening there, isn't it?
28:07Action stations.
28:09Mourinho get to get on.
28:10You can't blame them.
28:11Sheldrop there.
28:12One of those coming on.
28:13Another is one of the summer signings, Rania Ivanović.
28:2621-year-old Croatian international.
28:28Aushness.
28:44Estevão.
28:50Dahl.
28:51Sudakov.
28:53Aushness.
28:53The space down the right.
28:55That's where it goes.
28:55Aushness.
28:58Here, Benfica.
29:13Otamendi.
29:13There is an onus on them, even though they're away at the Premier League side.
29:17It's that first game against Karabakh.
29:18This bench will give them it.
29:20I know.
29:23Ivanović is somebody who's capable of doing that.
29:26I say, though, by the way, he's completed all of his 53 passes so far tonight.
29:34A good display from him in that midfield as the decision goes against João Pedro.
29:39I take your point, but look, he's not touched his face at all when he goes 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.
30:15So Borreiro, Ivanović and Sheldrup all about to come on.
30:22Ivanović are Croatian international.
30:25Borreiro plays for Luxembourg.
30:27Argentina against Brazil there.
30:34Which is really friendly.
30:36Oh, I don't see it.
30:39Who could actually miss the first game of next summer's World Cup?
30:44Otamendi was 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.
30:53He's said that he'll retire from international football after that tournament.
31:08Really interesting to see here now, Ali, particularly with these changes he's going to make Mourinho,
31:12where they'll really look to try and force the issue.
31:14Oh, I got you.
31:17They're half to, don't they?
31:20Look at Bacchio coming off, isn't it?
31:22Now, Luka Bacchio off, Sudakhov and Krios.
31:37Ivanović, where's number nine, help fire Udi and San Gilrois to their first top-line title in 90 years.
31:45Last season got 21 goals for them.
31:47I don't think there's any change in the shape for Benfica, just looking pretty much light from light in terms of the positioning.
31:55So where's this one going?
31:57are the first top-line title in 90 years, technically it's only on the barep star.
32:06But G einsie is その曲 that he's not going to happen.
32:08V is that he'll keep his hand again.
32:10V is that he'll keep his hand again.
32:12V is getting his hand again.
32:20V is getting his hand again.
32:22played forward by Aushnes
32:28Sheldraps straight into the thick of the action
32:32Barrero's on the edge of the box, Aushnes has been found
32:39taken off in by Fernandes and now Chelsea can break
32:43gets to the left, so is Kukureya, Jean-Pedro's gone through the middle
32:47Esteval towards the edge of the area, Nato's making his way into
32:52Enzo Fernandes, Osterxu, Esteval with the header, saved by Trubin
32:59He has to be offside surely, no?
33:04I might be totally wrong, he does come from deep, I'll give him that
33:08he comes really deep, that's tight
33:12to be fair he probably times it exceptionally well
33:16but they were just fired into Jean-Pedro, maybe a little bit too much
33:20pace on the ball
33:20just felt at times tonight like they've really missed the invention
33:29and creativity of Carl Palma
33:31they really have and I actually think they've missed a focal point
33:35in the centre forward position as well to tell you the truth
33:37Sheldraps
33:40Barrero, Sheldraps, I think some nice stuff here Benfica, Pavlides
33:55Chelsea can't keep it
34:01Barrero, Sheldraps, I think some nice stuff here Benfica, Pavlides
34:03they are just starting to turn up the heat a little bit here, Mourinho's side
34:07it's not about making another opportunity for the centre forward to have a shot at goal
34:11same as you, I thought he'd put his boots on
34:13so Champong and James coming on here
34:28straight swap
34:33from this near side, Gusto replaced
34:40he has got valuable minutes under his belt tonight, Badia Sheldraps
34:49has done well when you consider that he had 10 minutes of action this season
34:53you're right

36:40Dahl, Dahl driving forward, and Ivanovic might hit this, well-blocked on the edge of the area.
36:53Again Chelsea can't keep it, just invite a bit more pressure, Sheldroop was found by Otter Mendy.
37:01Ausnes will get to this, and it's up Rhys James.
37:06Goodwill, we're gonna bite James.
37:10But Benfica found behind the goal, suggesting there was an arm involved here, the referee pointed at his chest.
37:18That's a yelling for Otter Mendy there, wasn't it?
37:23We're quick to appeal that.
37:26Still asking the question.
37:28Seven minutes of the 90 to go.
37:34Chelsea a goal to the good, and Fika threatened from the corner, swung in there by Ausnes.
37:40Dal, who again shows ambition, and plays in a good ball as well.
37:46Now this could be interesting, wide.
37:50Did well on the left-hand side, Dahl, but he gets by.
37:52The two players far too easy, Estevão and Nechel far too easily.
38:00Horne's signed his left foot, and the shot early with his right foot.
38:01And the shot earlier with his right foot.
38:04.
38:06Talk about how Chelsea are in my football as well, you will.
38:08And two players far too easy, as well as well.
38:10Now this could be interesting, wide.
38:11Did well on the left-hand side, Dahl, but he goes by.
38:12The two players far too easy, Estevão and Nechel far too easily.
38:14Neto, far too easily.
38:20He shot his left foot, he shot early with his right foot.
38:28Talk about how Chelsea have got this really young side,
38:31the average age, just over 23, by far the youngest in the Premier League,
38:35and I guess they're learning on the job, as Joe Cole said,
38:38before the game, Ali, in the Champions League,
38:40I think we saw a bit of that from the rest of the side
38:42in their second-half performance against Bayern,
38:44where I thought the nous and the know-how from Bayern took over,
38:47but closing out a game like this will be really important
38:50for their development as a team.
38:51100%, particularly after the result in Munich as well.
38:58Neto's done really well, he's got options in the middle as well, Neto!
39:03Straight into the keeper's mid-drift.
39:08Barrera.
39:12Back in the clean...
39:15and back in the neutral...
39:19Berenice.
39:20And number's getting forward for Benfica,
39:37Pavlidis has gone through the middle Ivanovic wanted it on the edge of the box
39:41Goes wide instead to Aushnes
39:46Barenacea five to go
39:57Sheldrum
40:01Play on says the referee and it's with Esteval
40:07Oh
40:18Fernandez
40:26James
40:37He could get the throw it it's a little bit scrappy
40:47Pavlidis
41:01Pavlidis
41:07Still far from giving up hope here
41:09Benfica
41:11Another corner for Chelsea to defend can they see this out just over three minutes to go
41:27Dahl to take it so many red shirts in the box
41:37And it was fired towards goal in the end by the captain Otamendi who just didn't get enough purchase on the shot
41:43Chelsea are making their own problems
41:45Ivanovic
41:47And Pavlidis is waiting in the box and it was tidied up by
41:51I said
41:53But again they
41:55I think we'll just keep it
41:57I said
42:07I had a win shot
42:09That's that game management we were talking about now isn't it
42:11Looking for Neto
42:15Looking for Neto
42:17The eighth yellow card of the game
42:29The eighth yellow card of the game
42:31Don't leave
42:33Alten
42:37Chelsea
42:39Chowets
42:41Chowets
42:43instruments
42:45this is a really good run, Kitten's looking for Jaapedra
42:52rather than just looking for me on the same wavelength
42:55and that's Armendi comes across in blocks
42:57centre forward doesn'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
43:16got a player down here
43:18Ivanovic now does get back to his street
43:27I 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
43:46a loan spell at Watford
43:49the player who's
43:50has come on
43:52I'm hearing at the moment the expectation for Adi time is six minutes
43:59a minimum of six minutes
44:00in the 90th minute of the game
44:04it's been far from vintage Chelsea but they're heading ever closer
44:08Sheldrape
44:13Sheldrape
44:15Pavlidis
44:17nice feet
44:18Estevez with a nice bit of skill
44:24and again
44:25that's brilliant
44:26beautiful
44:27beautiful
44:27Garen couldn't quite pick the pass
44:29that's such a shame
44:31wasn't a beautiful watch that
44:32post control superb
44:34Sheldrape
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
44:48Banovic hasn't been six minutes up there
44:52and we are into it now
44:54we'll hear yet have calls for celebration
45:00the 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 kick
45:28corner kick can do
45:29nice
45:32not a chance
45:33that you know
45:33that's away from
45:35Rhys James
45:36Deric
45:52Chelsea
46:00hold it in their tracks
46:02he's had to rein himself in a little bit there
46:07for Nantes with the deal having already been booked
46:10it was a long time ago that warning though wasn't it
46:13Mourinho unbeaten since his return to Benfica
46:2325 years after his first at the club
46:26is his first defeat going to come out the bridge
46:30place where he says feels like home
46:33another four minutes to go
46:37good strength shown by James
46:50and the
46:53yellow card
47:07showing in the direction of the Benfica bench.
47:17Not Jose Mourinho.
47:20Just to update you, by the way, on the score in Norway,
47:23Tottenham have got an 88-minute equaliser through an open goal.
47:272-2 there.
47:28It's got Benfica's weight.
47:48Down with the throw-in, Pavlidis.
47:58He's just really, really scrappy in the last five minutes.
48:08They've really had to grind this out at Chelsea, haven't they?
48:11They won't disappoint Chelsea too much.
48:15I think the circumstances, I'll take that,
48:18particularly having lost on match day one,
48:20beaten at the weekend in the Premier League as well.
48:25Touched by Ivanovic.
48:28Enzo Fernandes.
48:34Kittens.
48:36Could they get the second that would kill the game off?
48:38Char Pedro to his right.
48:41Just haven't went to it too long.
48:45Dedic.
48:55Just a correction.
48:56I didn't think Mourinho had been booked,
48:58but it was Mourinho who was shown a yellow card.
49:02Of his return to the bridge.
49:05I don't think there's any doubt about that, Adam.
49:14They look back and certainly think they created more than enough chances to go on the score sheet.
49:19They haven't given up too many chances either, but it stays the way it is, it's a big, big three points for Chelsea after the open result in Munich.
49:33And a lift ahead of the big game against Liverpool.
49:51Oh, great game at the weekend.
49:53Oh dear.
49:54Oh no, no, no, no, he's not, surely not, he is, you know.
49:59Yeah, it's going to be a red card, who knows what's coming here.
50:03Jao Pedro on as a second half sub.
50:07Sent off by Daniel Siebert.
50:10We'll miss the next game against Ajax.
50:19Just raise his foot too high, don't he?
50:22I don't think for a minute he catches him or does he?
50:26Definitely from that angle.
50:27And yet another game in which a Chelsea player has been shown a red card.
50:32Amazing, amazing.
50:35Barrera was down, setting the boots up.
50:44Suggesting to the referee that he didn't touch the player.
50:46No, and I'm not sure he did.
50:48I think Barrera maybe made the most of it, but when you lift your foot not high, you're on the wrist.
50:57So into a seventh minute of added time at the bridge.
51:01And Chelsea down to 10 for the final seconds here.
51:05Will it be the last chance perhaps for Mourinho's men?
51:16Barrera surely has just got to go long here.
51:23Up towards Otamendi.
51:25Came off the back of Caicedo.
51:29Brera in a chair, a set of five shelter.
51:31Really good back from Rhys James.
51:36Into an eighth minute of added time.
51:39Two balls on the pitch.
51:41And Joseis managed to get himself on the pitch,
51:45much to the delight of the Chelsea fans.
51:47Or to Mendy.
51:55Surely it's now or never for Benfica.
52:00Any well will do for Chelsea.
52:04And they are up and running in the Champions League.
52:08Benfica 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 will perhaps leave him with a warm heart,
52:23but no points.
52:24This is his first defeat since taking the job.
52:28It's back-to-back losses in 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, it was all about the result this evening.
52:41It wasn't out to mention.
52:42Coming off the defeat Munich.
52:43It's important to get three points.
52:44They did that.
52:46Not a lot more than that, I've got to say to you.
52:48They didn't create an awful lot.
52:49They got a goal with the OG.
52:50Rios is a second.
52:51I'm actually coming in the back post.
52:53Rios is not going into his own goal.
52:55Got to be brutally honest.
52:57Mourinho had the better chances.
52:58I'm not sure they did enough, though, Benfica.
53:01I think Mourinho will feel a little bit disappointed,
53:03but massive three points for Chelsea, and they were delighted.
53:06Yeah, a big step in the right direction for Mareska's young side.
53:11And after what happened at the weekend, after what happened in Munich,
53:15it was so important that however they did it,
53:17that they got the positive result tonight.
53:19Absolutely, Adam.
53:20When I lost three of the last four, it was all about the result.
53:22The result was far more important than the performance.
53:26The performance would be interesting.
53:28Even the manager says, I thought it was okay.
53:29I thought it was probably satisfactory.
53:31They're good.
53:32Some good performances, individual performances.
53:34I thought Eto'o on the right-hand side in particular.
53:37I thought Kukaria left back did well.
53:38Center backs were fine.
53:40Apart from that, it wasn't an awful lot to reach George.
53:43I think we'll be a little bit disappointed.
53:45But to mention three points again, most important thing.
53:50Benfica, I wonder if they've got regrets.
53:52I wonder if Joe's ill just have one or two regrets
53:54that he didn't go for it, was slightly more aggressive.
