In 81 minutes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde replaced Tolu Arokodare before Liam Delap was sent off for Chelsea five minutes later.

There was a scramble in the box and the ball broke to David Moller Wolfe, who scooped an effort over Filip Jorgensen to reduce the deficit to one at additional time, but it was a little late for the host as Chelsea won 3-4 at the end.
