Benfica did not deserve to lose this match, but lose they did, because Chelsea played very pragmatically.
It was the London club 's first away win in the Champions League this season.
The Portuguese club had some big chances to score. They were either unlucky or foiled by some top-class goalkeeping by Petr Cech (such as Jardel's miss in the second half).
And those missed chances would come back to haunt Jorge Jesus ' men.
(Mata also missed a big chance for Chelsea in the second half, too, by the way.)
In the 75th minute, Torres' cross was perfect for Kalou, who buried it from 6 meters away from goal.
Chelsea goes back to Stamford Bridge with a win and a very big chance to advance to the semifinals, despite Benfica's having two times more opportunities to score.
