Chelsea progress after scoreless drawIt was understood that Chelsea, with a 2-0 lead from the first leg, would not treat this step into the quarter-finals as a grand moment in the Champions League but the insipidness still came as a surprise. Fernando Torres added to the occasion merely by having a shot saved when he came off the bench. If Chelsea lacked motivation, the keenness of the visitors was laudable even if there was restricted creativity.
Despite the seeming irrelevance of the match, Copenhagen began as if all their hopes were intact. Without that sort of competitiveness they would not have got even this far in the tournament. It would have been galling, too, that they had gone into the first game with Chelsea while lacking competitive match practice because of a mid-season break. Their exertions at Stamford Bridge, however, seemed also to enliven their opponents.
