Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Chelsea FC and PAOK FC.
  • 5' The travelling PAOK FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 7' A moment of madness from Yevhen Khacheridi on 7 minutes earns him a Red card. PAOK FC will be frustrated.
  • 12' Chelsea FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 17' Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for PAOK FC tonight.
  • 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pedro made 409 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 27' Magnificent from Olivier Giroud! That is 97 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 32' Kepa Arrizabalaga has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 409 appearances.
  • 37' Brilliant from the ! Olivier Giroud makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 37.
  • 42' Chelsea FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 46' The PAOK FC manager makes a substitution. Aleksandar Prijovic departs to be replaced by Amr Warda.
  • 50' Poor challenge from Pontus Wernbloom. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 54' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Gary Cahill on 54 minutes.
  • 59' PAOK FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 60' What a moment for Callum Hudson-Odoi! That strike on 60 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 63' Chelsea FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ethan Ampadu is hanging Davide Zappacosta on the field on 63 minute.
  • 66' Willian is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pedro at the 66 minute mark.
  • 71' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Răzvan Lucescu will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 75' A tactical swap from Chelsea FC — Alvaro Morata on, Olivier Giroud off on 75 minutes.
  • 78' Alvaro Morata does the damage! The net is bulging and Chelsea FC surge ahead!
  • 79' Dimitris Pelkas is replacing Mauricio for the PAOK FC side.
  • 80' Dimitris Pelkas is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
  • 85' Omar El Kaddouri has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 90' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Chelsea FC players.
