MariamFIRST TEAM THROUGH TO SEMI-FINAL
Chelsea is the first team through to the Champions League semi-finals after a 3-2 win on Aggregate against Fenerbache.
Just four minutes into the game Ballack scores a goal from Lampard's free kick. The tables had now turned in the second leg.
Chelsea hold a respectable record on home ground but this years' Champions League has shown it's surprises.
Cudicini had started the match in Petr Cech's place, who had injured his face in training and received 16 stitches. In the 26th minute Cudicini now also injured his right leg.
Helario came in to protect Chelsea's goal.
Many opportunities were missed by the London team and Fenerbache were battling in a war that could not be won.
The same opportunities presented themselves in the second half for both teams. The game was going nowhere fast and the fans were hungry for some action.
Desperate to score another goal to secure their place in the semi-final, Belletti and Kezman replaced Kalou and Maldonado in the 58 and 60th minute for Chelsea.
On the 87th minute Lampard scores from close range leaving no hope for Fenerbache to attack.
With Fenerbache desperate to make a come back, Bilgin came to replace Gokcek Vederson on the 89th minute. It made no difference on the score board.
Chelsea made it to the next round and will be playing against Liverpool later in April for the first leg.
Chelsea will need to impress much more than their fans to go further in this competition.
Will their new coach Avram Grant do more for this team than Hose Mourinho ever did?
