Chelsea hosted Benfica in another second leg tie of the quarter-finals. The London side held a 1-nil advantage coming into leg two and they were awarded a penalty after 21 minutes. Javi Garcia ran into Ashley Cole inside the area.
Frank Lampard would then step up and convert from the spot, making it 2-0 on aggregate - Chelsea taking control at home. And the Portugese side were not helped in the 40th minute. Maxi Pereira paid the price for a foul on John Obi Mikel. The visitors were reduced to ten men as Pereira earned his marching orders with a second yellow card.
Chelsea had a golden chance to put this one out of reach just after the restart, but Ramires can’t get this one to go - the Brazilian midfielder missing with the heel from a metre out.
And Benfica would take the initiative for much of the second half. Javi Garcia headed home on 85 minutes to make the aggregate score 2-1. Benfica would push for an equalizer as a second goal would bring them level at 2-2, and they would qualify instead on away goal difference.
But with time running down, Chelsea substitute Raul Meireles would take matters into his own hands as he ran unchallenged for almost 70 metres before smashing the ball past the keeper to seal the score at 3-1 on aggregate. Chelsea booked a place in the last four and will face defending champs Barcelona.
