Frank Lampard scooped the ball from eight yards over the crossbar (22), John Terry’s volley after a Lampard free-kick missed the goal by just under (33), and Willian was prevented after submission of Eto’o at the last moment the shot (38).

On the opposite side, superstar Drogba could rarely set the scene.

Still less was seen of Wesley Sneijder, the second superstar in the team of the Turkish master remained throughout the game completely pale.
