Chelsea learn opposition for quarter finals of Conference League after late night drama | OneFootball

Chelsea have now learned who they will face in the quarter finals of the Conference League but they had to wait a bit to find out.

The new comes after Chelsea beat Copenhagen 1-0 on Thursday night to advance into the quarter finals of the Conference League, winning the tie 3-1 on aggregate.

It wasn’t easy for Chelsea though and once again they were very bad in the first 45 minutes. It took a stunning solo goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to get The Blues over the line and into the next round.

Enzo Maresca made some big changes at half time, although one of them, removing youngster Josh Acheampong, received some criticism. Maresca has since explained his thinking behind that move.

But the bottom line is that Chelsea are through and Chelsea advance in a competition that they are expected to win.

Chelsea then had to wait for more games to play out before finding out who they had in the next round after a bit of late night drama.

Some of the games last night went into extra time, so it meant most of us were well into the land of nod on a school night to wait to see who we were going to play in the next round of the competition.

Chelsea will play against Polish side Legia Warsaw in the quarter finals after they went into extra time against Molde to turn around a first leg defeat, winning the game 3-0 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate. Both teams had a player sent off in this game.
