Champions League, quarter final first leg

Chelsea 1 - Valencia 1

An excellent result for Valencia in their quarter final first leg, a 1-1 away draw at Chelsea giving the Spaniards a good chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. David Silva put Quique Flores's side ahead shortly before half time with a spectacular shot from outside of the area, but Drogba levelled the scores after the break, running on to long ball from Ashley Cole to head over Cañizares. A score-less draw in Mestalla next Tuesday would be enough to take Valencia through. (04.04.07)
