    FT: Malmo 0-1 Chelsea! All over in Sweden and the home side are out after Ziyech's 56th minute goal. Chelsea were the much better team and could have easily scored more, but poor finishing and Dahlin in goal stopped it being more. Malmo didn't even look like scoring. Thanks for joining us and see you again shortly!

  • 56'
    Ziyech makes it 0-1!!! Havertz gives the ball to Hudson-Odoi on this touchline, he sends a fantastic cross to Ziyech at the back post, Ahmedhodzic can't intercept with the slide and Ziyech hits home!

    HT: Malmo 0-0 Chelsea!! Half-time in Sweden and Chelsea have been the better side. The visitors have had many chances, but just a handful have been really dangerous. Havertz and Ziyech have probably had the best opportunities. Malmo have done little going forward and Colak's volley right on HT was easily their most dangerous move. Back shortly!
