- 77'
Long ball forward catches Chelsea napping after a good attack. Morientes peels off the last defender down the right hand channel and from a tight-ish angle makes no mistake. A bullet shot into the near top corner leaves Ambrosio powerless to react. Morientes has not been in this game until now but that was a quality finish
- 76'
Up the other end and Morientes scores to make it 2-1 to the ten men of Monaco
- 75'
Wonderful move from Chelsea. Lampard plays in the overlapping Bridge who plays over a perfectly targeted, pwerful cross to Hasselbaink. Odds on to score the substitute heads wise
- 74'
Giuly, who is on fire at the moment, skins a couple of defenders to get into the Chelsea box on the left and then improvises to get a shot away from in his feet and doesn't miss by much. Giuly is the centre of everything for the home side
- 73'
Great vision from Ibarra in the right back position as he sends an arrowed pass virtually the length of the pitch that splits the Chelsea defence for Giuly to outstrip them for pace. Ambrosio however is quick of his line to deny the striker
- 71'
Monaco have upped the tempo and are exploiting some confusion across the middle and back of Chelsea. A very open game
- 70'
Giuly and Terry both set off after the same diagonal ball towards the right flank. Terry looks favourite but the Frenchman gets infront and Terry trips him to receive a yellow card
- 69'
Gudjohnsen turns to find Hasselbaink on the right in space. His cross though is not good enough and Monaco come away with the ball
- 68'
The Tinkerman is having a field day now. Scott Parker the latest to suffer as centre back Robert Huth comes on
- 67'
Lampard plays a delightful one two with Crespo to get into the box but a combination of defenders thwart him at the expense of a corner. The little turn befor ehe strted the move from Lampard created the space to play it.
- 66'
Rothen with a lazy looking free kick from the half way line presents an awkward chance for Morientes who is first to the ball but gets underneath the ball
- 64'
The two Monaco men combine to almost score. Rothen, menacing down the left wing, hits a cross on the run that sees Giuly in space near post but his conection is not clean enough to trouble Ambrioso
- 63'
Rothen, again still looking full of running, is just unable to hook his foot round the ball to cross and allows it to go out for a goal kick
- 62'
Giuly, still looking sharp and bright, looks to get onto a long ball behind the Chelsea back line but Terry is solid and clears in an unfussy manner
- 61'
Melchiot leaves the field as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink comes on the make an attacking 4-3-3 formation for Chelsea. Ranieri has signalled his intent for the remainder of this match
- 60'
Just as in the first half Monaco started at pace and with menace until a major incident - the sending off this time - turns things the visitors way
- 59'
Referee has to work again as Parker has a little kick at Morientes and Morientes has a bigger one at Parker. Tempers are flared - especially Morientes' - but not action taken other than the free kick
- 58'
A third corner from Veron sees panic in the Monaco back line. A header is missed by all but Melchiot and Ibarra wrestle at the back post before the ball trickles onto the line where Roma gets his hands to it. Foul given against Melchiot
- 57'
Veron corner from the left earns another. Second corner is met by a flick from Gudjohnsen's shoulder that spins the ball just over the corner of the post and crossbar
- 56'
Chance for Gudjohnsen as he wriggles into the box and lets off a shot. The rebound of goalkeeper and defender gives him another more awkward shot but once more Givet stands tall to block for a corner
- 55'
Monaco make a change. Prso, who has had a decent game, goes off to be replaced by Edouardo Cisse
- 54'
Chelsea are all over the place with Monaco on top but for the fact that they are now down to just ten men
- 52'
Desailly and Morientes found time in all the action to have a bit of a wrestle but that came before the sending off and was allowed to go by the now very busy referee
- 51'
It's all happening now. Little nothing spat between Makelele and Zikos sees the Monaco man sent off and the Chelsea man booked. Both players gave a little slap to the face of the other but Makelele disgraces himself by going down as if shot
- 50'
Monaco all over Chelsea now and a cut back from the left that looked behind Morientes sees the striker acorbatically stretch to get a volley away that clips the outside of the post
- 49'
Chance for Prso who is given a massive amount of space stoop for a header almost inside the box. gets an almost perfect contact but Ambrosio gets down to his right to turn it away. Wonderful save
- 48'
Corner from Rothen is well defended by Desailly with a towering header. Ball is kept live though and Rothen gets another chance to deliver but Parker makes an important block
- 47'
Gudjohsen sets off on a positive run cutting in from the left. Beats two men to get to the edge of the box before Givet is a barrier too far
- 46'
Rodriugez sends a searching diagonal ball forward for Morientes to work for. Melchiot makes a scrappy intervention and then clears with little conviction
- 45'
Half time substitution for Chelsea sees the introduction of Veron in the place of Gronkjaer and takes up his position on the left side of midfield
- 45'
Good game of surprisingly open football considering what is at stake. Monaco were quickest out of the blocks and bossed the game, taking a deserved lead, before Chelsea equalised and changed the mood of the match. Where the Blues were nervous they became assertive and direct and they have been the most threatening side since. Monaco still carry a very real goal threat themselves and it promises to be an interesting second period
- 45'
The half come to a close with the scores level at one a piece
- 45'
Corner comes over aimed for Morientes. He misses it and Givet is behind to make a strong contact that isn't that far away. Good effort
- 45'
One minute of added time to be played
- 44'
Ambrosio comes for a ball he has no right getting and is lucky to see it go behind for a corner
- 43'
Another cracking dead ball delivered in to the box from Lampard sees Givet head clear but get punched in the face by his own keeper for his trouble. Strangley Monaco are awarded a free kick for it
- 42'
Cruching tackle/foul from Ibarra goes straight through Makalele and earns him a yellow card
- 40'
Gronkjaer twists and turns out left before finding a cross when it looked like the chance had gone. Gudjohnsen can't make the most of it before a modest penalty appeal from the visitors for a handball that was nothing of the sort
- 39'
Zikos again stries a long range pass to Giuly coming in off the flank. terry has to be attentive to spot the run and head clear once the pass arrives
- 38'
Gudjohnsen it is to step up but he just drills his shot into the wall
- 37'
Crespo tries to chip over the head of Bernardi on the edge of the box and the defender uses his arm to stop the ball to set up a dangerous free kick, 20 yards out, slightly to the left
- 36'
Rothen wastes a good spell of possession for Monaco with a dinked cross aimed at Prso in the box but far too long
- 34'
Morientes allows the ball to run past him for Ibarra to run onto and strike from 25 yards. The sliced effort demonstrates why he is a defender
- 33'
Ball over the top sees Terry, Bridge and Giuly in a race into the box. Giuly gets there first but the combined presence of the Chelsea defenders denies him a clear shot on goal and Ambrosio is grateful for that
- 32'
Prso pulled up for offside - not for the last time in all probabability
- 31'
Free kick for Monaco in a similar position to that which lead to the opening goal. Deeper this time and Rodriguez heads back across goal for Prso but he is forced out and the attack breaks down
- 29'
Evra gets forward on the break to create room for Rothen to power down the left flank. Decent looking cross on the run turns out to be a simple catch for Ambrosio
- 28'
Gudjohnsen finds space on the left hand corner of the box and, possibly caught in two minds with Crespo attacking the space in front of goal, elects to chip from a difficult angle and wastes possession in a good area
- 27'
Really is all Chelsea since the goal. They didn't have a sniff before with Monaco completely dominant but the roles have since reversed
- 26'
Chance for Crespo to add a second. Lampard - again - working hard, this time on the right puts in a delightful cross that begs for a diving header from Crespo. Instead he stretches out a foot and just putsit over the bar from 12 yards
- 25'
Chelsea are bhoyed by the goal and attacking more freely now. Lampard has a pop from distance. A way wide but a good marker perhaps for future efforts
- 24'
Viciously struck free kick from Lampard causes Roma to panic a bit in the Monaco goal and he ouches clear when it looked a relatively simple catch
- 23'
The Chelsea fans present find their voice for the first time
- 22'
Wonderful vision from Lampard as he cut inside and before anyone had spotted it whipped a pass to the far post where Parker was waiting. Little cushion knock back to Gudjohnsen who controls but then slips. Recovers quickly to play a short square ball to Crespo, dead in front of goal, and the finish is clinical.
- 21'
Chelsea are level. Crespo from all of 6 yards. 1-1
- 19'
Gudjohnsen involved for the first time and gets onthe ball just inside the box. Good defensive work from Evra to block him
- 18'
Prso tries to turn provider. Good work out wide, turn and look up sees him aim for Morientes on the back post. The Spaniard gets underneath it but the header is not good and he puts wide for a goal kick. Difficult chance
- 17'
Free kick from the left, level with the 18 yard line, is swung in by Rothen. Takes a bounce in the box and Crespo rather weakly dives for it and misses. Defenders look surprised to see it arrive and Prso almost lets the ball hit him and directs it past the helpless Ambrosio. Great reaction from the Croat
- 16'
Monaco score through in form striker Prso. 1-0 Monaco!!
- 15'
A wild lung from Melchiot as he is beaten by the pace of Evra down the left. Catches him full on and is rightly booked
- 14'
A lull in play with a series of throw ins and free kicks
- 12'
Prso lets a throw in run past him and then skips past a static Desailly before scuffing a shot from distance
- 10'
Fast break down the right from Monaco finds Giuly scampering down the wing to collect, cut inside and lay back diagonally to Morientes. Low drive is blocked by Terry. Anxious moments for Chelsea
- 9'
Monaco really taking the initiative in the match
- 8'
Ball laid back to Giuly on the edge of the box. He shapes to shoot but fools everyone with an angled ball to Prso who is in but for the fact that he was offside. Very tight decision
- 7'
Delicate chip up field from Zikos finds Prso on the edge of the box. Tackled by Lampard who then shows great skill to back heel past the striker and away from trouble
- 6'
Parker nips and bites at Evra's heels and robs him of possession deep in his own half but it ultimately comes to nothing. Great spirit though from Parker
- 5'
Wonderfully spirited overlap from Bridge is spotted by a great ball from Lampard but as soon as a chance looks to be opening up the defender loses control and with it possession
- 4'
Long ball forward from Lampard finds Crespo in masses of space but also in an offside position
- 3'
Tidy piece of play from Monaco on the right is halted by a Bridge foul on Ibarra
- 2'
Deep free kick on the left is swung in by Rothen into a crowded box. Givet gets the touch but can't direct the header goalwards
- 1'
Scrappy opening and an early worry for Monaco as Morientes gets caught by Desailly and limps away
Chelsea kick off in front of a small but noisy and partisan crowd
Monaco start with Fernando Morientes and Dado Prso up front and the team have bagged 26 goals in their last four Champions League games at home. Chelsea have only conceded one goal on their travels in the competition. Something has to change....
Claudio Ranieri lived up to his reputation for tinkering by changing half his
team for Chelsea's Champions League semi-final, first leg, in the Stade Louis II
in the millionaires' playground of Monaco.
The Blues boss has made six changes to the team who were held to a goalless draw
at home by Everton on Saturday.
Out go William Gallas, Robert Huth, Geremi, Joe Cole, Adrian Mutu and Jimmy
Floyd Hasselbaink. In came Mario Melchiot, John Terry, Claude Makelele, Jesper
Gronkjaer, Hernan C
