Dinamo zagreb vs chelsea score updates highlights champions league

Mislav Orsic scored the only goal of the game as Dinamo Zagreb claimed a famous UEFA Champions League win over an underwhelming Chelsea.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made his Chelsea debut following his transfer from Barcelona with Kepa Arrizabalaga handed a start due to a minor injury suffered by Edouard Mendy.

The visitors dominated the opening exchanges but were caught out on the break as Orsic got in behind the defence to prod a clever finish past Kepa and over the line.

The Croatian champions grew in confidence as the first half progressed and could have doubled their advantage through Arijan Ademi whose ferocious strike from 20 yards was saved by Kepa.

Hakim Ziyech replaced Cesar Azpilicueta for the start of the second half as Chelsea looked to increase the tempo of their play.

The Blues found the back of the net after 50 minutes when Aubameyang finished from close range, but the flag was raised for an offside against Ben Chilwell.

Stefan Ristovski came close to doubling Dinamo's advantage, striking the crossbar with a long-range shot, before Reece James also struck the woodwork for Chelsea in the final minutes of the match.

But an equaliser never came for Chelsea, who have now lost their past three matches away from home for the first time since December 2020 under Frank Lampard.
