Madrid would get on the board first when their striker lofted a high ball over the outstretched hands of Chelsea goalie Andrew Harron. Late in the first half, Chelsea would even the score when Striker Ryan Janssens placed the perfect shot into the right corner of the Madrid goal. Teams went into halftime tied at ones.
