35'
Chelsea have enjoyed 54% possession so far.
33'
Selfish play by Eto'o, who goes for goal from 25 yards when he had options to his left and right.
31'
Lampard catches Gardos late and becomes the first player to go into the book.
29'
Mata has a go from distance after a nice one-two with Eto'o, but his 25-yard effort is straightforward for Tatarusani.
27'
Chelsea are really beginning to dictate the tempo of the game. Steaua are unable to string three passes together at the moment.
25'
Piovaccari almost runs through the Chelsea back line, but Terry is alert to stab the ball away.
23'
Tanase is undoubtedly Steaua's biggest threat. He skips away from Ramires, but again Ivanovic is a brick wall.
21'
Steaua have looked vulnerable to that kind of goal all night. They have to defend better than that.
19'
GOAL! Chelsea lead through Ramires! Schurrle drives down the left and crosses to Eto'o, who helps it along to Ramires, who pokes it in from close range. 0-1 Chelsea.
19'
Chelsea just coming under some pressure now.
18'
Good cross from the right towards Piovaccari, but Luiz is perfectly placed to head clear.
17'
Lampard is forced to slide in on Tanase, who is causing some problems on the left wing.
15'
Terry is late on Piovaccari, but the free kick into the box is headed clear by Ivanovic. No complaints over Chelsea's defending so far, they've been solid.
14'
Lampard break for Chelsea and finds Schurrle on the left, but the German forces Cole wide with his overlapping pass. Cole works it back to Schurrle, but the momentum is lost and Steaua clear.
13'
Chelsea again fail to make the best of a corner. Wasteful on set pieces so far.
11'
Torres will not be able to continue, Eto'o is on. Blow for the Blues.
10'
Chelsea win a corner, but Mata's ball in is claimed easily by Tatarusanu.
9'
Play goes on as Torres receives treatment for a knee injury.
8'
Torres is on all fours and requires treatment. The ball has been kicked out so he can get some.
7'
A loose ball almost falls to Bourceanu, but Ramires pokes it away as he was running onto it 25 yards from goal.
6'
Tanase shows some nice footwork to find space on the left, but Ivanovic stands up well to the talented Romanian.
