London's Chelsea took the upper hand over France's Paris Saint-Germain in a dramatic clash and advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea overcame PSG and advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League
After a 1-3 defeat in the first match of this tie, the Londoners needed to win by a margin of two or more goals without conceding. Chelsea took control of the ball right away, but the first dangerous scoring chance took quite a while to arrive. The Parisians resisted admirably until the 32nd minute, when André Schürrle, after a flick-on from David Luiz, fired first-time into the corner of Salvatore Sirigu's goal.
In the second half, both teams had chances to score. Within two minutes, Schürrle and Oscar each hit the crossbar of Sirigu's goal. French striker Edinson Cavani had a good chance to find the net.
However, in the 87th minute of the match, questions about the winner were settled. Substitute Demba Ba redirected the ball as it rolled toward the goal.
The tie ended 3-3, but Chelsea advanced according to the away-goals rule.
