And so the calm before the storm. Again, this so engraved into sporting history. These two teams have squared up so many times before. It is a rivalry whose significance has never been diluted and never ever will be, all stemming from that simple... And the shots! It's loose, and there's a race for the ball, and he couldn't finish. Agahauer deserves a lot of credit for his willingness to make those runs. The passers will always have an option with him. Chelsea with the corner, their first. Hermanson claims comfortable. And now they can spring out a defense. Quality ball. Well, they keep pressing like that as long as they can. Simeone wants to run onto this. And here's Camavinger. It's played into the area. Punched away. Chance! That was too close for comfort. Well, I think the defense are breathing a big sigh of relief here. He really spanked that, and it wasn't far away at all. Jim, which player is best equipped for this game? Well, Jared Bone is a player that you're going to like a lot because of his energy, his all-action style, his setups, his goals. Some would refer to him as kind of an inside right in the language of the day, but he's a real work, awesome. I mean, he puts a great shift in, and first and foremost, any manager will settle for that. I'm thinking the same. He will be a central feature, no doubt. And he's managed to get free to finding himself in space, driven in, and it's safely in the keeper's hands. What, it just peetered out, no penetration at all, having had a great deal of the ball, quarter of an hour played. So we're still where we started right now. Fernandez. Looking for a runner. Can he get onto this? Westham are a team that's fond of the low block. They sure defend in numbers. Yeah, the whole point being to go back to front as quickly as possible, Peter. Of course, once the ball has been won. Balls over the top, long diagonals, that's the plan. That has earned a reprieve for the time being. Laminia Mal clearly held onto it far too long there. Did he do enough to find someone? He looked as if he had his mind set on trying to do everything his way. Turns back here, probably the best option. So check. And that's a throw-in. Nicely weighted ball who played through for the white man. The Kanji clears it away. Walker Peters, just like so many of his contemporaries, is proving very good at driving forward. He won't be happy with that one. De Sassy and Juke. Shifted it to the flank. Somewhat off target, a good looking ball. Now it's Somerville. That is ended up in no man's land. Now it's Castellos. Akanji wins the jewel this time. Bowen, and he's being shifted off it. Great ball if he can get there. Agahua! Goal! The movement so precise, the finish sumptuous. Look, if you want to be effective on the break, then the key element is always pace. That's what really rips the fences apart, and it's difficult to find an answer to it when it's applied like that. You felt it was coming, 1-0. Well, I guess this ought to make things interesting, Peter. No doubt the opposition will now be forced to play a more open and riskyer game. Oh, that's a key interception. Mavropanos cuts out the pass. Fernandez, and it's Camavinger. Takes a shot! And collective relief etched on the faces of the defenders. Chelsea leading then, courtesy of the goal scored late in the first half here. 1-0 the score. Can he get it through? Last ditch defending, but that'll do. He's had a fair tumble under that challenge. Fernandez, laid into space, Simeone's cross, and they've got a throw. Fernandez. It's rising! It's a decent watch, a frantic watch. It is half-time. Well, there were plenty of talking points in that first half, but just the one goal, it's still anybody's game here. What have we learned from the first 45 minutes? Well, it's obvious, Peter, that this team was set up to play on the break, and their opponents pretty much played right into their hands, so no wonder they've got their tails up at half-time. Well, the players definitely know they're in a derby, more of the same to come after the break. You can be sure of that. Terrific effort! They want to be quick to, oh, he's been caught napping! I think that's offside, yes it is. And he's there to retrieve it. And here's Yammal. Tries to get it clear. Played down the flank. And the keeper's got it again. A well played, that has snuffed out the danger. Let Simioni. Tries to pass it through. Well, he got rid because he was under pressure. Delivers with WIP! Oh, great leap! Clear the way. The team still separated by the game's only goal. Great vision. He's on it. Can he get away? That's gone for a throw-in. The most accurate pass. Desassi, Jew. And Navropanos. Sajit, what are you thinking? Well, while the temptation's always there, Peter, I think it would be ill-advised of them to try settle for what they've got. Navropanos. That's a risky ball, you've got to say. And again, they run up against stubborn defending. Now it's Castellanos. Bowen. Yeah, we get to see this more and more defenders popping up in these positions. He's shifting through the gears here. And it's Camavinger. Well, that's certainly more like it. They can't let the intensity drop now, Peter. There is an irresistible, irrepressible look about them here. I think they just have to keep forcing the issue, and they'll get clinical. of play for a goal kick. Substitution. So the manager can make a change for the first time in the game here. Shin to shin, bicep to bicep and he wins out. Now it's Camavinga. Disasi can get it clear. is there and he can get that clear. Oh, this looks sharp. Now it's Castellanos, or it's a nice idea, but the execution was lacking. That's positional gold, the utilization of space. Hermanson claims it safe hands. I think the message here is quite clear, Peter, they won another one and will seemingly keep going until they get it. And this is Messi. Now it's Castellanos, now it's Bowen, Camavinga, gets a foot in here, and it's Sontiung Min. Now he's off and running. He's having a hit! And no one is overly concerned about that. Well, at least he's not short on confidence. Trying from that sort of distance, why not? Castianos, number 12, coming on the field, number 9, Wilson, number 30. You can never be short of runners into space, as long as the space. Impressive jump! A collective sigh of relief from the defense. It's really well read here, but having done the hard part, he'll be slightly disappointed not to make more of it. Threads won in. Desassi with the clearance. Chelsea have it back and can go again. Art Spolverde. Great chance! Desassi clears without hesitation. Alexander Ronald. This usually is the time teams go into conservation mode. And the shots! Well, that wasn't too dissimilar to the previous attempt. Chelsea really have stepped it up now. They could have been a bit more greedy and forced the issue. Two added minutes has been indicated. Time added on will be two minutes. What's going wide left? Well seen. Saw that coming. That was well played. Well stopped. And time is up. Chelsea have done.
