114 min Nothing much is happening. I don’t think the teams were consciously satisfied with the penalties; they are just conceited.
114 min “This is like a chess game on a really, really big board now,” sighs Ian Copestake.
113 min Chelsea still has one rotation left in case you have money on Kep.
111 min: Liverpool substitution Kostas Tsimikas replaces Andy Robertson on the left defender.
109 min Chelsea’s top three are now Ziyech on the left, Mount on the right and Loftus-Cheek on the middle forward. Ziyech tries to tease Matip, who gets rid of him in the area.
107 min Ziyech reluctantly made way for Alexander-Arnold on the pitch. The referee is not interested. Alexander-Arnold definitely pulled him by the arm, but again it was just out of the area, so it’s none of the VAR.
106 min Liverpool starts the second period of overtime. Chelsea made two substitutions: Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Cesar Azpilicueta for Trevoh Chalobah and Christian Pulisic. Looks like Loftus-Cheek went forward.
Half time overtime: Chelsea 0: 0 Liverpool
This will be a penalty. Both teams are broken.
105 min Milner wins the corner for Liverpool. Both teams now look tired. Mendy attacked Alexander-Arnold with authority, and that’s it.
103 min Alonso’s corner was headed by Thiago in front of the closer bar. No big chance.
102 min Ziyech’s penalty kick missed Pulisic and he headed for the next corner of Milner (I think).
102 min Mount is fouling on the left wing of Thiago, which is an unnecessary direct kick. Ziyech goes to take it …
100 min Ziyech’s great swing center is carefully silenced behind the back of Alexander-Arnold, a good piece of defense. Mount Horn is heading away from Milner.
99 min Firmino walked forward and Mane moved to the left. At the other end, Mount spins 20 yards after receiving a deep cross from James.
98. min: Liverpool substitution Roberto Firmino replaces the pretty excellent Luis Diaz, who gets a fleshy hug from Jurgen Klopp. I think it may be more fatigue than injury.
97 min Mane slipped perfectly on Thiag’s halfway line, but Rudiger approached to knock him off the ball and remove the danger. Great defense.
95 min Chelsea unsuccessfully appealed the penalty when Ziyech crossed after Konate’s shoulder attack. It was a bit of a risky challenge from Konate, although it was probably just outside the area.
94 min James sprang forward and stabbed Pass to Pulisic, who moved into the area and was about to place a shot when Matip bumped to strike well.
93 min If it goes into penalties, I’m wondering if Thomas Tuchel will bring Kepa back. The thing is, in spite of everything, there is a reason for that. Not that I would, think.
91 min look look! Chelsea begins the overtime and Liverpool take over Virgil van Dijk with Joel Matip. This is another concern for Liverpool with regard to the Champions League final, not to mention the ongoing FA Cup final.
Playing time: Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool
In a surprising development, Chelsea vs Liverpool are in overtime. Both teams hit the woods in the second half, Liverpool twice in a minute, but the shooters somehow remain without problems.
90 + 2 min Three extra minutes. Chelsea is holding on. A speedy charge from the right side of the field increased the lead of Diaz to Dan-Arnolda as he directed it down. Mendy blocks it and then throws himself in front of Konate to grab the loose ball.
90 min: Just a short distance from Diaz! Sheeshi, it was so close to a winning goal from probably the best player on the field. Diaz picked up the loose ball in the middle circle and bounced off the last player, Thiag Silva. Thiago kept pace well, so Diaz cut his right foot 20 yards from the goal and created a beautiful curling shot that ran right next to the far post. I don’t think Mendy got there.
89 min Liverpool looks like a more likely winner in normal playing time. With one or two exceptions, Chelsea have been trying to get out in the last 10-15 minutes.
88 min The free kick for Alexander-Arnold was extended. It was about an eighth chance, if so.
87 min Chelsea’s top three are now Ziyech on the right, Mount on the left and Pulisic in the middle.
86 min “I’m cognitively shot,” writes Ian Copestake. My brain needs a replacement. “
85. min: Substitution Chelsea Hakim Ziyech replaces Romelua Lukaku.
84. min: Now Robertson has hit the bar! Diaz directs the pass across Milner to the right. He takes a touch and curves the evil, deep cross that Robertson volleyed at the pole! That was a big chance. He was only a few yards out, but I think the ball hit the bottom of his shin rather than the shoe.
83 min: Diaz hits the bar! Jota and Mane join forces to find Diaz on the right side of the area. With a great first touch, he pulled the ball away from Rudiger and immediately hit with a shot that overcame Mendy and struck the outside on the nearest pole.
