Overview
- Chelsea led through Estêvão Willian before Leandro Andrade equalised and Marko Janković’s penalty put Qarabag ahead, with Alejandro Garnacho levelling after the break in Baku.
- Romeo Lavia exited inside eight minutes with an apparent muscle problem and was replaced by Moisés Caicedo.
- Enzo Maresca made seven changes from the Tottenham win and turned to a half-time triple substitution, introducing Garnacho, Enzo Fernández and Liam Delap to chase the result.
- Teenage centre-back Jorrel Hato was involved in both Qarabag goals, losing the duel before the first and conceding the handball for the spot-kick, intensifying focus on Chelsea’s defensive balance.
- The draw leaves Qarabag and Chelsea on seven points from four league-phase games with automatic last-16 qualification still in play, and it marks Qarabag’s first-ever point against an English club in Europe.
