Match Report: Chelsea 4-0 Thailand All-Stars

00:00 - Kick-Off
03:36 - Chelsea dominating possession as they have been all pre-season
06:21 - Torres is smothered by 3-4 players as he tries some footwork
09:22 - Anelka with a nice strike from out wide... goal keeper grabs it
11:38 - Sturridge with an opporunity... way off target
17:22 - Anelka has another shot after Torres places a nice pass
20:02 - our 3 strikers are all out in the clear but Anelka's pass is weeeaaaakkk
22:43 - Now Anelka is just over-dong it in my opinion, but as long as we're getting shots off, it's good.
29:26 - I wouldn't say we are playing poorly, the Thailand defense is extra careful today. At least 5 defenders behind the ball at all times.
31:48 - Really nice shot from Thailand. Cech saves it.
34:04 - A nervous moment for the Thai side as 3 Chelsea players give the strike a go.
37:34 - GOOAALLL!!!! Frank Lampard from the edge the box... very nice shot!
44:50 - Lots of off-sides and lots of fouls... come on refs, you're slowing down the game

81:48 - Drogba heads Zhirkov's free-kick, it goes over the bars
87:35 - The Thai side seems like they have accepted the scoreline and is looking to play defensively. They aren't as lively as they looked before Malouda's goal
