There is no more time! Last kick of the game sees Chelsea through 2-1 on aggregate. Bednar replaced Kadlec while Kweuke was booked, but it is all immaterial. Chelsea are through to the last 16.

GOAL! Hazard slams the ball into the net from just inside the Sparta box. Brilliant break by Chelsea and there is the finish. That will ensure Chelsea's progress. 1-1 now. One minute into two of time added on.

Ramires and Mata crowded out before Sparta break at speed to the other end, but Kadlec slides the ball wide of goal. What a chance missed that is. Could have won it there and then.
88'
Ball breaks to Ramires in a crowded area, but he spins and drives the shot wide of goal. Difficult to get that shot on target.

Matějovský is booked for a late tackle on Hazard. Azpilicueta slices a volley wide after the ball had broken kindly to him from the free-kick. Chelsea lacking the killer instinct.
86'
Matějovský sent tumbling to the deck by Ramires. Cech comes out of punch clear the Sparta free-kick as Chelsea break to the other end.

Prikryl is booked for charging out of the wall to block the free-kick by Mata. Chelsea will get another free-kick from the same spot.

Kweuke fells Mikel and Chelsea will have another free-kick here from 30 yards or so out.

Bertrand drives the ball across goal, but Ramires can't convert. So frustrating for the home fans.

Hazard drives that free-kick in at real pace, but Vaclik does superbly well to prevent that from hitting the net. Was difficult coming through some traffic.
79'
Zápotocny with a blatant body check on Hazard. Free-kick for Chelsea out wide.
78'
No Frank Lampard tonight. Which has perhaps not helped Chelsea's situation.

Offside flag goes up to thwart the run of Hazard. Those Sparta fans continue to bounce around in the away end.
76'
Krejci cuts a dash into that Chelsea area. Drives the ball across goal, but Cech is sharp to collect the cross.
75'
This match heading for extra-time unless one side can come up with some magic here. At the moment, Sparta as likely to get the next goal.

Zapotocny wallops a blistering volley a couple of yards wide of that Chelsea goal. Cech had that covered.

A real sense of frustration adorning this match for Chelsea as Ramires is penalised for a late challenge on Hybs.
72'
Ramires considers a couple of options inside the Sparta area, but ends up screwing the shot wide of goal.
