Lost 0-2 at Stamford Bridge in the first leg, Chelsea only able to play a goalless draw at home to Swansea in the second leg on Thursday (24/1). Swansea also cruised to face Bradford City at the top of the party.
The game went pretty well balanced. Chelsea, who led the attack Juan Mata, Hazard and supported Oscar and Demba Ba as the spearhead, with vigorous push to reverse a two-goal deficit they carry. However, from at least 13 shots, only 5 are on target, and it was countered by Gerhard Tremmel under the crossbar host.
Swansea is quite passive and occasionally counter-attack, as Chelsea often suppress. Swansea back line raised Ashley Williams appears solid in the offensive dispel the Blues. Michu is often at the forefront of making threats with speed, shot and asist.
Chelsea frustration created by the seemingly never get a goal peaked at 80 minutes. When the ball came out, Hazard wanted to restart the game and try to take the ball from the ballboy at the edge of the field. What happens next is Hazard kicking the ribs ballboy. Referee Chris Foy also drew a red card for Belgian players.
Rafael Benitez's decision to include a duet with Fernando Torres, Ba is not a lot to give change for Chelsea.
0-0 score lasted until the long whistle, and forces Michael Laudrup also qualify to Wembley to face Bradford. Final was held February 24.
