Basel v Chelsea: Europa League semi-final first leg - in pictures

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benítez looks pensive ahead of kick-off. It's probably because he's thinking about what he said earlier - "Basel are a good team. They did well against Tottenham. They'll be dangerous, they'll be tough, but we know how important it is to score an away goal so we'll be trying to score" Photograph: Matthew Childs/Action Images

Until the 12th minute when Chelsea take the lead courtesy of Victor Moses's head. Lampard swings in a corner, Ivanovic jumps with the defenders but misses the ball, though behind him lurks Moses, who just about manages to deflect the ball down and goalwards.

In the dying minutes there's a bit of a scramble in the Chelsea penalty area following a corner and Valentin Stocker comes together with Cesar Azpilicueta and then hits the dirt. There's hardly any contact at all and what there was wasn't deliberate. Either way doesn't matter, the man in yellow (with a dodgy red patten) deemed it a foul worthy of a penalty and points to the spot Photograph: Patrik Straub/EPA

Chelsea aren't happy to sit back and take the draw. Mata blasts over then John Terry's header is clawed away by Sommer and then in the last minute of injury time Chelsea get a free-kick 25 yards out.

Passion, relief and joy are all emotions that can be read in the Chelsea goalscorer's, admittedly rather frightening, face Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images

Soon he's back down to earth and is about to be congratulated by his fellow goalscorer Victor Moses. Luiz's kick was the last one of the game, and Chelsea are in the driving seat of this semi-final. Final score FC Basel 1-2 Chelsea Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images

During first half injury tiem Fenerbahce were handed the chance to go ahead when Ola John was adjudged to have brought down Gokhan Gonul. Although there was contact, it appeared minimal and the penalty was harsh. Up stepped Cristian Baroni, who hit his penalty firmly, it beat the keeper but smacked against the post and went out ...

Fenerbahce take the lead with 18 minutes to go, although there was some controversy over the award of the corner from which the goal came. Egemen Korkmaz took advantage of Benfica's frustration over the corner to rise highest from the set piece, nodding in off the bar to send his side into the return leg with a deserved if slender advantage Photograph: AP
