9a Bob Poole reports on very good start from Benayoun: "It could possibly be because i'm lay right next to his touchline but Yossi Benayoun has really stood out for me personally so far. Great pace, energy and dynamism from the midfielder. A shot just wide is flashed by rubin, meanwhile. However it was never going to trouble the widely experienced Petr Cech." 8a Ansaldi has a Rubin Kazan's first effort on target however it is a positive travel from long range which sails well wide of Petr Cech's righ-hand post. 6a More great passing and movement from the hosts as Fernando Torres reveals an excellent touch and change before Victor Moses threatens on the left. Ramires sooner or later gives away a free kick to provide some respite to Rubin. 4a First glimpse of Yossi Benayoun as he shows somewhat of talent to get past his opponent on the left-hand side but incurs traffic within the box. 2a Bright start from the hosts, looks like Chelsea may utilize some thing of an immediate approach as Cesar Azpilicueta twice looks for Fernando Torres directly from the back. 1a Rubin Kazan obtain the first half underway!

Goal.com's Tim Poole reports: "If youare searching for reasons to feel patriotically positive, nevertheless, you neednat look far. Chelsea have won all four of the prior games against Russian edges and are unbeaten in 11 European games at Stamford Bridge. The squad might be extended but the players a' and the director a are up for the struggle. The fitting list could be taking its toll a' but confidence will soon be at the top of the Kings Road after Mondayas 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Band in, then, because today claims to be another European cracker." Both groups have emerged from the tunnel, it's a frosty old evening in west London, perfect conditions for baseball beneath the floodlights. Moments from the kick-off... Goal.com's Tim Poole reports: "Yes, for Chelseaas European hopes a' tonight could be the night. A risky battle might await the Blues in the battle for the top four in the Premier League, while an unrelenting semi-final against Manchester City beckons in the FA Cup. In Europe, though, the only way is up. Chelsea and a win today is going to be in a superb position to be eligible for the semi-finals later this month. A strong gain and who knows? Perhaps Rafa can become with a trophy cart after all." Rubin Kazan: Ryzhikov; Kuzmin, Ansaldi, Navas, Kaleshin; Orbaiz, Eremenko, Karadeniz, Natcho, Sharonov; Dyadyun.
