Dani bundles over Belletti and is booked for his troubles.
Cluj make their first change with only one minute of normal time left as Trica makes way for Didi.
A long ball forward finds its way to Anelka whose control lets him down as he toe-pokes his effort wide.
Maybe not though as Pereira bustles his way into the penalty area and manages to fashion a shooting opportunity for himself as he forces Cech to make a smart save.

Kone forces Alex into an error and, when the ball breaks to Trica, the Romanian lashes a shot narrowly wide.
Anelka is caught offside but opts to play on and slot the ball into an empty net. A silly booking for the Frenchman.
A draw may not be such a good result for Cluj now as AS Roma have come from behind to lead Bordeaux 2-1.
di Santo almost makes the perfect start as he heads a long throw wide with Stanciolia beaten.
But no it's Chelsea who make their final change with Malouda making way for Franco di Santo.
Cluj look tired - some substitutions by the Romanians must be imminent surely.
Lampard's ambitious long-range drive is easily collected by the under-worked Eduard Stancioiu.
Malouda's free-kick is inch-perfect, curling into the danger area, but no Chelsea player can latch on to it.
Pereira is booked for kicking the ball away angrily after Cluj had conceded a free-kick.
Cluj are being penned back in their own half for long periods now. It feels as though a Chelsea goal is coming.

The stretcher's on and, as the injured Drogba leaves the pitch, Juliano Belletti comes on to replace him.

Half-Time: CFR CLUJ 0-0 CHELSEA.

Alvaro Barragan Pereira is only stopped by a last-ditch Bosingwa tackle after the woeful MIkel had gifted possession to Cluj.
Salomon Kalou is crowded out by the hard-working Cluj defence and when the ball breaks to Malouda, he's flagged offside.
A superb Cluj move ends with Eugen Trica finding some space ten yards out. However, the Romanian can't get enough power or direction on his volley and the chance is gone.
Despite the lack of goalmouth action, it's been a compelling contest so far with Cluj causing Chelsea more problems than they would encounter in most Premier League matches.
The Argentine, Dubarbie, has looked lively in the opening stages although his trickery this time only ends with Chelsea winning a free-kick.
Bridge does well to head the ball out for a throw-in rather than a corner as Cluj continue to press.
Better by the visitors, until Drogba lofts a shot very high and very wide.
There's still not been a clear opening for either side as the first half nears its halfway point.
Scolari's side are starting to get on top although Cluj still look dangerous on the counter-attack.

Yssouf Kone wins a free-kick after being fouled by John Obi Mikel as Cluj continue to look threatening.

Frank Lampard has a shot from outside the area blocked while Didier Drogba is in trouble after taking a blow to the face.
John Terry wins the ball in midfield and sets up Florent Malouda but the ball forward is poor and the captain's good work comes to nothing.

Jose Bosingwa, who has been one of Chelsea's stars in the opening weeks of the season, makes a trademark charge forward but the move eventually breaks down.

Chelsea, playing in all yellow, immediately win possession and pass the ball between themselves at the back.
The Romanian champions get the match underway.
Cluj haven't made the best of starts as they defend their domestic league title. They're fifth in the Romanian League after nine games of the season and are already seven points behind leaders Dinamo Bucharest.
Cluj are certainly a cosmopolitan outfit. Their starting line-up includes only three Romanians but there are players from Portugal, Argentina, Ivory Coast, Brazil and Uruguay in their team.
Scolari has brought Wayne Bridge in to replace Ashley Cole while injured quartet Joe Cole, Michael Essien, Deco and Ricardo Carvalho are once again missing.
Argentinian striker Juan Emmanuel Culio was Cluj's two-goal hero in Rome, and he starts against Luiz Felipe Scolari's side.

Chelsea, who thrashed Bordeaux 4-0 in their opening Group A game, have travelled to Romania to face a CFR Cluj side that beat AS Roma 2-1 in the Italian capital two weeks ago.
Didier Drogba picked up a serious injury as Chelsea stumbled to a goalless draw against Group A minnows CFR Cluj in their latest Champions League clash. The Ivory Coast international had to be stretchered from the pitch after suffering suspected ligament damage just past the hour mark against the Romanian champions. It summed up a difficult night for Luiz Felipe Scolari's side as they endured a frustrating time against a well-organised and lively Cluj outfit. Both sides had won their opening group games a fortnight ago - Chelsea thrashed Bordeaux 4-0 while Cluj shocked AS Roma 2-1 in the Italian capital thanks to a brace by Argentinian striker Juan Culio. Scolari was without the injured Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Michael Essien, Deco and Ricardo Carvalho while Cluj, who won the Romanian League for the first time in their history last season, started with players from Portugal, Argentina, Ivory Coast, Brazil and Uruguay in their line-up. Cluj showed how they had shocked Roma in the first group game as they more than held their own, playing with panache and style. In the 28th minute a superb Cluj move ended with Eugen Trica volleying wide and nine minutes later Alvaro Pereira rifled in a low left-footed shot that was only inches wide of Petr Cech's goal. Despite the lack of goalmouth action, it was a compelling first half with Cluj causing Chelsea more problems than they would encounter in a normal Premier League game. Scolari's side were far from convincing and Cluj could have been ahead at half-time if they had shown a bit more composure in front of goal. Chelsea improved at the start of the second half and almost broke the deadlock in the 51st minute when Frank Lampard's close-range effort from Nicholas Anelka's cross was deflected away for a corner. Five minutes later Florent Malouda's dangerous cross was cleared by Andre De Sousa who just got to the ball before Drogba. However, the Ivorian was injured in the incident and now looks set for another lengthy spell on the sidelines. Cluj played most of the second period in their own half as they seemed to settle for a point but they almost snatched a victory in the closing stages. Yssouf Kone forced Alex into an 80th-minute error and, when the ball broke to Trica, the Romanian crashed in a shot that clipped the outside of a post before whistling wide. With two minutes left Pereira bustled his way into the penalty area and managed to force Cech to make a smart save as Cluj ended the match on top.
