Chelsea suffered a shock 1–0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the first match of their 2022/23 Champions League campaign, played at the Stadion Maksimir, as Mislav Orsic outpaced Wesley Fofana to chip the ball over Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The match saw the debut of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The London club dominated the possession but failed to find the back of the net as Dinamo’s defence stood firm. But the home fans were sent into jubilation in the 13th minute of the first half when Mislav Orsic outpaced Wesley Fofana to put the ball pass onrushing goalkeeper Arrizabalaga. It was a good finish that ended the first half 1-0 in favour of the home side (Dinamo Zagreb).
In the second half, Chelsea continued to dominate the possession, but we’re clueless and looked like a side bereft of confidence and belief. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tried to rekindle a hope with a goal, but it was ruled out as offside. Chelsea created a few chances, but failed to clinically finish them. And both goalkeepers had saves in the encounter.
As the game wine down, Chelsea continued mounting pressure on the host in search of an equalizer. But the host, Dinamo Zagreb, observed the pressure and held onto their 1-0 advantage to the final whistle.
This loss place Chelsea at the bottom of group E table, while Dinamo Zagreb top the group with 3 points.
Final score: Dinamo Zagreb 1 Chelsea 0
