- 77'
Now Ibrahim hooks it away as Bridge crosses after Chelsea had been forced deep
- 76'
Besiktas still keeping that solid shape though, forcing Chelsea ever wider. Gallas, of all players, heads over as Bridge crosses again
- 74'
Time ticking away on the Abramovich era's unbeaten run, although the home fans are doing their best to lift their men
- 74'
Emre slips under Duff's challenge. Chelsea build pressure from the throw-in but Lampard's cross is poor and easily cleared
- 73'
Emre heads behind as Bridge overlaps to cross from the left. Desaily gets a head to Hasselbaink's corner - but it loops over the bar...
- 71'
Makelele blasts high over the bar after Veron cuts in from the left. Centre half Ronaldo is called in to take the goalkick for the injured Cordoba
- 70'
The black and white shirts are back in force as Geremi looks to flick through for Hasselbaink. Pretty much a siege in the Besiktas third of the pitch now
- 69'
Cordoba's back on his feet though... Geremi is wasteful after good work on the left from Bridge and Duff
- 68'
Giunti meanwhile is to be replaced by Yasin, but not before he is booked for taking too long to stroll off the park. Chaos
- 67'
Is it Casualty or ER? Now Cordoba goes down with a groin problem after hoofing the ball up field. Hasselbaink is far from happy and Sergen steps in to cool him down
- 66'
Ranieri's unimpressed with Gallas' plight - the Frenchman hobbles back on
- 66'
Terrible mis-hit from Lampard as he swipes at Duff's header down from the far post. No composure really - he could have side-footed that
- 65'
Desailly blocks well as Giunti collects Pancu's ball from the right
- 64'
Gallas has had enough after taking on Ibrahim wide out... Both sides down to ten now
- 61'
Ten-man Besiktas keeping their shape admirably as Veron and Lampard probe
- 60'
Crowd favourite Okan makes way for midfielder Dobra
- 59'
Veron heads wide after a marauding run and cross down the left from Lampard. Brave header but he should have hit the target at the far post from eight yards
- 58'
A hectic opening to this second half. Lucescu wants to bring some order to proceedings with a substitution... Dobra, the Pole, at the ready
- 56'
Duff takes on Ronaldo down the Chelsea left, over-hitting his cross and Emre clears up as Chelsea try to pile on the pressure
- 56'
Ibrahim flicks a header clear after Bridge sends in a rapier cross from the left
- 55'
Now Tayfur sees yellow for a needless handball out wide. This is getting silly
- 54'
Gallas, still hobbling, getting rid of the ball as soon as he can. Hasselbaink is penalised upfield
- 53'
A much-needed boost for Chelsea though. Duff swings the ball in from the right but Ronaldo is there to hoof away as Desailly heads down from the far post
- 51'
One of the most ludicrous dismissals you are ever likely to see. The Turkey international protests he did not hear but referee Batista is having none of it
- 51'
Unbelievable... Ilhan is offside and for the second time he finishes past Cudicini after the whistle. A second yellow card for an identical offence. He's off
- 49'
Geremi loses out on the right and Besiktas can play it around the back
- 47'
Gallas really struggling as Chelsea win another freekick, this one on the right. Zago's bald head is first to it though as Geremi swings the ball in
- 47'
Lampard's freekick breaks for Duff meanwhile. Into the box but he fires straight at Cordoba
- 46'
That's Ranieri's three substitutions all taken up with Bridge already on for Babayaro... Typically Gallas goes down hurt straight away under Sergen's challenge
- 46'
Damien Duff and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink replace Crespo and Mutu as Chelsea restart
- 45'
Stunning scoreline if you're a fan of either team. Chelsea started with great purpose but their play has become increasingly ragged after that double blow from Sergen. 2-0 to the visitors at the break
- 45'
Into injury time and Okan does brilliantly to block as Mutu gets ready to pull the trigger from 10 yards. Superb defending. Veron's corner is headed clear and ref Batista blows for half-time
- 45'
Giunti looks for Ilhan upfield. And a needless yellow card for the striker as he taps into the net after being flagged offside
- 44'
Now the Argentinian blasts low and wide from 25 yards - first time he's taken the direct route
- 43'
Cordoba collects as Veron chases his own flick forward
- 42'
Lampard misses Chelsea's best chance - Bridge's cross was knocked down by Zago but the former Hammer, arriving late, couldn't direct his shot on target
- 41'
Ronaldo gets a powerful head to Geremi's freekick from wide on the right. Besiktas very comfortable. Now Ilhan is appalled after Terry's challenge is ruled fair
- 40'
Good pressure from Ilhan wins the ball from Makelele, deep in Chelsea territory. Terry gets across to clear up, winning a corner as his flick rebounds off the Turkey striker
- 40'
Yellow card for Mutu. A frustrated lunge on that man Okan after Veron had given the ball away
- 39'
Now Okan has a swing from 30-plus yards. A waste
- 38'
Sure enough Okan's back on quickly...
- 37'
Okan Koc takes on the Chelsea rearguard now - brought down by Desailly and the home crowd aren't impressed by what they see as some theatrics
- 35'
Headed away and Giunti bursts clear down the left. Chelsea breathe again though as the final pass goes loose
- 34'
Gallas forced back as Pancu and Tayfur close in, but Lampard is more positive, forcing Zago to head behind from a cross from the left
- 34'
Mircea Lucescu's side have a good defensive reputation and this scoreline looks ideal for their solid formation
- 33'
Cordoba is strong under the corner from Veron, imposing himself on a crowd of players to collect two-handed
- 32'
Ibrahim back to block Geremi's cross, but then Emre has to head behind under pressure from Crespo
- 31'
Anxious roars from the Blues faithful as Cudicini is called into action again. Pancu looking for Ilhan that time
- 30'
Now a real test for Ranieri and the new Chelsea... The Blues have had the pressure but Besiktas have looked capable
- 29'
Then catastrophe for Desailly as he stumbles under Cordoba's long punt. It's Sergen again to smash home the second as Cudicini flails. 2-0 Besiktas!
- 28'
Chelsea press on. Freekick on the right - overhit by Geremi but wrestlemania in the box the ref blows for a freekick
- 27'
Ilhan offside. Chelsea work the ball down the left, where Mutu's cross flashes across the six-yard box, somehow evading Crespo and the late-arriving Lamapard
- 26'
Cordoba picks up as Veron's pass fails to find either Crespo or Mutu
- 24'
Gallas and co caught out badly there, but a very well worked freekick nonetheless.
- 23'
And caught Chelsea napping as Besiktas take a short one down the left. Sergen in the middle to fire home from close range. 1-0 Besiktas!
- 23'
Makelele brings down Ilhan... A chance for that Chelsea change to take place
- 23'
Bridge is warming up as left back Babayaro seems to be struggling with a knock
- 22'
This game is at break-neck speed... Now Lampard's dink into the box is just too strong for Crespo. The ball skids out of play
- 22'
Pancu bears down on the Blues penalty box but Gallas' speed gets him across to win the ball
- 21'
Lampard miscontrols after superb work from Mutu. Cordoba picks up and Besiktas break rapidly, only for Terry to intervene
- 20'
Shame that - but typical Veron, looking for something extra-special when a straight blast at goal would have done
- 19'
Veron chooses to sidefoot a pass - not sure who was there for it - instead of shooting after a great run from deep and a one-two with Crespo.
- 16'
Lampard wins it in midfield but Crespo runs away from the through ball - a misunderstanding. Perhaps it's that language barrier Ranieri was talking about yesterday...
- 14'
Now Babayaro overhits his cross from the left after good build-up play from the Blues. Ibrahim clears up
- 13'
Poor ball from Pancu ends a neat spell of passing from the Besiktas midfield
- 11'
Lampard busying himself with a few runs and touches. Tayfur and Ronaldo have to clear crosses from the England man and Geremi on the right
- 10'
Gallas scuffs his cross after joining Babayaro in support on the left. Besiktas again look to break quickly - but Terry is there to snuff out the Ilhan threat
- 9'
Cudicini takes an Ibrahim cross as Ilhan arrives in the box. The visitors looking comfortable on the ball here
- 7'
Ilhan flagged offside as Ronaldo hits from deep
- 6'
At the other end Pancu looks for Koc over the top, but Cudicini is across to gather
- 5'
Now the Romanian combines with Crespo, who unleahses a right-footer from just outside the box, flashing over the bar. Swift and sweet stuff from the Blues - the skiddy surface helping their passing
- 4'
Chelsea marshal it back to Cudicini as the Turks look to break. Quickly upfield - but Mutu miscontrols Lampard's cross after good work from Veron in midfield
- 3'
Goalkeeper Cordoba collects as Veron's delivery drops low into the six-yard box
- 3'
Over the top for Crespo and Besiktas scramble it half clear before Babayaro wins a corner, left side
- 2'
Mutu drops deep to collect but Emre is in with a crunch from behind. Free kick
- 1'
And Besiktas kick-off... Early run from Lampard and Chelsea win a throw down their right, but easily cleared from the lurking Crespo
A drop of rain to freshen the pitch at Stamford Bridge, which - it has to be said - is looking a little bare in the stands... Let's blame it on the tube
Besiktas: Cordoba, Asik, Havutcu, Guiaro, Pancu, Yalcin,
Uzulmez, Giunti, Mansiz, Zago, Koc. Subs: Kursunlu, Yildirim,
Sulun, Dursun, Dobra, Metin, Hassan.
Chelsea: Cudicini, Babayaro, Makelele, Desailly, Mutu, Lampard,
