Chelsea made it to the quarter finals
Filed Under: Chelsea
Chelsea won the easy match against the Olympiakos and the match ultimately resulted in Chelsea’s entry into the quarter finals of the Champion’s league. The victory was actually very easy and the play put forward by the other team was not really very competitive and up to the mark for the champion’s league match.
The score of the match was a one sided score of 3-0. Michael Ballack actually headed home the cross of Frank Lampard to set the team on the way to the win. Lampard then doubled the lead of the game from a very close range and that too in the 25th minute. This was after the shot by Chelsea mid fielder Ballack was blocked by the goal keeper of Olympiakos, Antonis Nikopolidis. The goal keeper really did a good job there as the shot was really a very powerful one.
Chelsea carried on taking the lead even after the half time and the third goal was scored by the team after three minutes after the half time. This was done when Salomon Kalou turned in the corner by Lampard. Chelsea though suffered from a blow when their player Petr Cech was out of the game owing to an ankle injury. The replacement was though made very fast, but it did not come to much use of the team. The replacement was Carlo Cudicini.
Overall, the Chelsea players did not find any tough competition in the game and thus, it was an easy game for the players.
