90+4'
FT: Chelsea 1-1 Krasnodar. It finishes all square. The second half was a non-event really, and both teams appeared happy to settle for the draw late on. Chelsea had done their job before tonight, but some of their squad players will not have helped their chances of getting more minutes going forward.
90+4'
Giroud heads wide, having risen well, although oddly he's penalised.
90+1'
There will be four added minutes.
90+1'
Chernov wins a soft free-kick and Azpilicueta is not happy about it.
90'
Chelsea fend a free-kick into the box, but Giroud is penalised for a foul.
86'
Vilhena leads a Krasnodar counter-attack that again comes to nothing.
83'
Krasnodar look happy to take a point at this stage.
81'
Anjorin, who has got better as the game progressed, makes way for Giroud.
80'
Olsson, Wanderson and Cabela all make way for Krasnodar. Kambolov, Chernov and Suleymanov take their places.
77'
Good direct running from Werner takes him to the byline, and a cross or shot follows but it was off target whichever it was.
76'
Anjorin is almost in, but Werner's return ball is off the mark.
74'
Kante and Werner are on for Kovacic and Havertz, while Sorokin has replaced Kaio for the visitors.
72'
Anjorin has his best moment of the match so far, finding space to run into and then slipping in Havertz, but a poor touch lets the German down.
67'
Abraham is gifted a chance but cannot capitalise! Ramirez loses control of the ball in his own box, Abraham steals possession and has a close-range opportunity, but Gorodov closes the angle down and saves with his legs.
65'
Routine saves a step in the right direction.
64'
Krasnodar have a four-on-three break but don't move the ball wit enough urgency. Wanderson ends up shooting from the edge of the box, and Kepa tips his bobbling shot wide.
63'
Gilmour wins the ball back well in midfield and Havertz tries to clip a through ball to Abraham - who was offside, it turns out - but the Krasnodar defence read it.
61'
Gilmour lays the ball off the Havertz, who delays the shot slightly and that allows a defender to block.
58'
The ball strikes the referee for the second time this match. He's had little to do so you cannot blame him for wanting to get involved.
54'
Some crisp Krasnodar passing culminates in Wanderson having a shot from 16 yards out, but Azpilicueta makes a good block.
