Spartak Moscow 0-2 Chelsea: Spartak’s Attack Ignited Through McGeady, Kombarov While Breakthrough Proves Elusive

Spartak Moscow’s strategy entering into the second half was simple: attack Chelsea, get shots on goal and challenge Petr Cech. Through wide men Aiden McGeady and Dmitri Kombarov, Spartak placed shot after shot upon Cech’s goal forcing the Chelsea keeper to make numerous saves in the opening 15 minutes of the last 45.

While Chelsea sit back to defend in numbers, they remain dangerous on the counter. With twenty minutes left in the contest, Chelsea remain exactly where they want to be, and that’s up 0-2 away in the Champions League.
