When the match started , Chelsea lost their ever reliabledefender Ricardo Carvalho. As the match proceededthere were chances at both ends. Then the Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech after making a good save low down , he spilt the ball letting the South Korean winger Park Jung to score the goal.
Asthe match progressed the Manchester goalkeeper got injured. In the second half Cristiano Ronaldo came on and as he found it difiult to make an impression, he started his dirty and shameful game of diving and getting free kicks with an intention to score a goal. Mike Riley booked him straight away , but as he is such a habitul cheat he must get a red card straight away.
Scolari made two important substitutes ,in Drogba and Saloman Kalou . The equalizer came in the the eighthyth minute, when Wayne Rooney comitted a fowl near the box and Chelsea equaled in the freekick , with Kaoluheading the ball behind the net.
