70 mins - Twenty minutes to go.
Ake tries to find Hazard - Boro
step in to clear, and Bertrand
takes control of that situation
for the visitors.
69 mins - As it comes forward, Ake gets a header in but
Chelsea lose it. Williams, though,
can't find McDonald near the
edge of the Chelsea area.
68 mins - Moses finds Ferreira,
but then Chelsea go backwards again and the ball goes all the
way back to Cech.
67 mins - McDonald does well to
control the ball on the edge of
the area as it comes forward
again, but that flicker of a threat is soon snuffed out.
66 mins - It is, towards Miller.
But Chelsea win that one
comfortably enough.

65 mins - Frank Lampard could
be coming on, it seems - in the meantime, Miller plays the ball
out to the right for Boro.
Ramires fouls Miller. Free-kick,
Leadbitter to take. A long way
out, but this can be crossed.

77 mins - Luiz is instantly
involved, winning the ball well
and starting a move that leads
to a pass towards, but beyond,
Torres.
76 mins - Another change for Chelsea - Moses is off and
David Luiz comes into the fray.
75 mins - In the meantime, Oscar
gets into the area, has a shot -
and it's not far wide.

74 mins - Looks as though David Luiz will come on for Chelsea
soon.
73 mins - McManus fouls Oscar in the centre circle, and
the Boro man is booked for his
troubles.
73 mins - Zemmama is on and Carayol off as Boro make
another change.
73 mins - GOAL: But within seconds, Hazard and
Oscar combine - the low
cross comes in, and Moses
taps home. That should
decide this one once and
for all. 73 mins - Again, they lose
possession - but when they win
it back, Ramires finds Hazard on
the left of the Boro area. He
hits a fierce, swerving shot,
which is just wide.
72 mins - Friend and Carayol,
halfway inside the Chelsea half.
Boro step in, and Chelsea get a
throw.
71 mins - Haroun for Boro,
running over halfway. Miller takes over and finds Friend, who
whacks the ball from range and
sees it deflect out for a throw-
in.

82 mins - Zemmama gets it over
the wall, but it's far too close to
Cech, who saves comfortably.
81 mins - But wait a moment -
Ferreira commits a foul, outside
the area and central. Zemmama looks like the man most
interested in taking this...
80 mins - Ten minutes remaining:
Chelsea, barring a remarkable
Boro revival, have this won.
79 mins - Oscar is off, with Chelsea bringing Marko Marin on
in his stead.
79 mins - ...the ball is worked to
Friend, but he sees his cross
blocked.
78 mins - Undaunted, the home side come forward again to win
a free-kick on the right. Terry
clears for a corner...

77 mins - Substitute Zemmama
makes a good run down the left
for Boro and makes room for a cross. Unfortunately, though, he
gets the delivery all wrong and
it sails over the bar for a
Chelsea free-kick.

85 mins - That move had Chelsea
floundering for a second, and
they have switched off in the
last two or three minutes.
84 mins - Another chance - the
ball is played in to Miller, who has a first-time volley from just
inside the area but can only
steer it over.
83 mins - Bailey gets up and
gets a good header in - but it's
the wrong side of the post, just rippling the side-netting on its way past.
83 mins - Ferreira plays a casual
pass back, forcing Ivanovic to
lunge in and divert it behind for
a corner.
83 mins - You would have
thought that, if a comeback was
ever going to materialise, it
needed to start then.

87 mins - From it, Ramires will
get a crossing chance. Bailey
fouls Ake as he tries to usher
the ball away.
86 mins - Friend plays the ball
forward, Luiz gets there, Friend gets another touch - and out
goes the ball. Chelsea throw,
near the halfway line.

88 mins - Crossfield movement
by Boro, who then lose it.
Chelsea look to find Torres early.
Too early - the flag is up.
87 mins - And that is a booking for the Boro man(yellow card),
perhaps just allowing a bit of
frustration to show.

90 mins - Bailey misjudges, and
Marin tries to run into the
penalty area. McManus is there
to save face for his colleague.
89 mins - Things are drifting
towards a conclusion at the Riverside: a minute or so of
normal time to go, plus
whatever we get for stoppages.

90 mins - Terry clears well as
Miller tries to make something
happen in the middle of the
Chelsea area. Seconds remaining
now.
90 mins - Three minutes of added time will be played here
at the Riverside.
90 mins - Another ball into the
Chelsea area is half-cleared.
Zammama tries a shot, but it's
badly hit and wide.
90 mins - Hines meets it, but
Chelsea deal with it.

90 mins - Haroun gets into the
area - good run. Cech stops his
effort and it's a late Boro
corner.

90 mins -And that's the final whistle - after a pretty
dire first half all round,
Chelsea took second half
control to see off
Middlesbrough and go
through to face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
