However, they were pegged back by Dinamo Zagreb just 13 minutes into the game. Bruno Petkovic played a timed pass into space, which Mislav Orsic latched onto. He then finished past Kepa with a deft finish to make it 1-0. The visitors dominated possession but found it difficult to break down Dinamo's rigid defensive lines. Mason Mount and Kai Havertz started positively, keeping Chelsea's offense going with their passing and movement. The Blues continued to dominate possession but failed to arrive in Dinamo's penalty area. All of the Blues' hard work towards the end of the first period was in vain as Dinamo Zagreb defended heroically. They went into the break holding onto their narrow one-goal lead.

Tuchel made a flurry of substitutions in order to spark a change in the game, as well as with one eye on their game against Fulham in the Premier League in a few days. Hakim Ziyech was brought on for Cesar Azpilicueta at the break. Jorginho and Armando Broja soon entered the fray but failed to make a telling impact as Chelsea trailed Dinamo. The hosts' custodian Dominik Livakovic was tested several times but withstood the pressure in goal. He was aided by his backline of Dino Peric, Josip Sutalo and Stefan Ristovski, all of whom played incredible games. A whopping eight minutes of stoppage time was added at the end of the second period. Chelsea continued to dominate possession and were afforded a chance to score from a late free-kick. Ziyech attempted a lackluster strike goalwards, which did not even make it past the wall. Dinamo Zagreb held on to secure a heroic 1-0 win over Chelsea. That said, let's take a look at the five major talking points from the game.

By Arnav Kholkar Modified 07 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Dinamo Zagreb v Chelsea FC: Group E - UEFA Champions League Chelsea lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 6. Dinamo and Chelsea faced off in the first game of this season's edition of the Champions League. The hosts played in the UEFA Europa League last year and made their way through the qualifying rounds. The Blues, on the other hand, won the competition in 2021 and were knocked out of the quarterfinals by eventual champions Real Madrid in 2022. The game was bound to be exciting as the visitors have made somewhat of a shaky start to the season. Thomas Tuchel handed newcomer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang his debut.
