Full Match Report
Legia Warsaw drew first blood in the 10th minute when Tomas Pekhart was fouled in the box and coolly converted the penalty, silencing the home crowd.
Chelsea struggled to impose themselves thereafter, creating few clear‑cut chances until Marc Cucurella reacted quickest to a loose ball to slot home from close range and restore parity.
The half was further punctuated by two disallowed goals, both ruled out for offside, as the Blues’ attacking play lacked conviction.
The hosts made several tactical tweaks after the break but were undone when Steve Kapuadi rose highest from a set‑piece to head Legia back in front amid defensive confusion.
The Blues pressed for an equalizer, but chances proved scarce and Legia’s disciplined backline held firm, prompting further frustration among the home fans.
Despite the defeat, Chelsea’s superior performance in the first leg was enough to see them through, setting up a semi‑final clash with either Djurgården or Rapid Vienna.
