That is all we have time for on Tribe as Chelsea have a lead to defend going into the second leg. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Make sure you tune in with us on Tribe on the weekend for the second gameweek of Premier League action.
Next up for Chelsea is an away game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday before the second leg. Servette do not have a game on the weekend as they are given time to prepare for the second leg which will be in Geneva a week today.
Servette will feel like they deserved much more from that first leg as for large parts they were the better side. They looked stronger in the first-half but in the last 15 minutes, they had three massive chances to get on the scoreboard. Ondua had a free header from a corner which he put well wide. Guillemenot had an empty net from another corner and he somehow managed to put the ball over the bar. Then in the dying seconds, he had a massive opportunity to steal one goal back but his shot was too close to Jorgensen. Servette will have confidence though going into the second-leg even though they do have a mountain to climb. They should make a game of it though, to say the least.
CHELSEA WIN THE FIRST LEG IN UNCOVINCING STYLE! Enzo Maresca has his first win as Chelsea boss as the London club defeats Swiss side Servette at Stamford Bridge. They had a poor first half after a bright start when Guiu had a massive chance. In the second half they were gifted the chance to go ahead as Frick needlessly fouled Nkunku in the box. It was him who stepped up to take the spot-kick which he buried into the bottom left corner. Chelsea were then on top for the next ten minutes with Guiu somehow not finding the back of the net after three shots in quick succession. Maduke came off the bench to double Chelsea's lead with 15 minutes left with a powerful finish from the right side of the box. After that though they were so sloppy in possession and marking from set-pieces as they got very lucky to keep a clean sheet.
90+6'
SAVE! Tsunemoto runs away from Mudryk on the right wing. He sends in a low cross to Guillemenot who takes one touch and shoots on the turn. Jorgensen dives to his right to parry the ball away with two hands behind it.
90+5'
Madueke runs forward on the right wing. He turns back though passing back to Lavia as Chelsea build over to the left wing. Mudryk clips it into Dewsbury-Hall who chests the ball down in the box. His backheel doesn't find Palmer as Serevette clear.
90+2'
Tsunemoto wins the ball on the right side. Dewsbury-Hall drags him down by his neck so he is awarded the first yellow card of the game.
