Against the run of play, but you were right.

How unlikely. Terry cross, Cahill flick, Ivanovic finish.

PSG must be stunned emotionally and mentally on their home ground heading into halftime.

PSG are wasting Cavani and Lavezzi the way they have them playing :{

Champions League: PSG vs. Chelsea

First-Half Thoughts
Blaise Matuidi has been PSG's most influential player offensively. Put in two good crosses with his left foot to Ibrahimovic. Also had the best goal-scoring opportunity of the match for Blanc's side, header with pace but lacked placement.

Gregory van der Wiel is getting behind Azpilicueta far too easily. First opportunity, put the cross wide behind the byline. Second chance, had Ibra and Cavani far post yet picked out the wrong ball.

Verratti lacks discipline in moments. Giving away cheap fouls in dangerous positions. Allowed for the Fabregas FK, which he whipped into Sirigu's box, Chelsea's most threatening attempt prior to the Ivanovic goal.

Speaking of Ivanovic, how unlikely for Mourinho's side. Terry cross, Cahill flick, and Ivanovic finish. Exactly how the manager drew up. Yeah, right.

Cavani did well to track back on Willian, the one time in the first-half he was asked to defend.

Courtois proving he was the right choice in net in Chelsea's starting XI, even after Cech's heroics against Everton and Lukaku twice. Mourinho got it right.
 
That's the danger ball for PSG. Matuidi charging forward on Ivanovic's side. Twice in the first-half, he found Ibra. The first opportunity being the more dangerous chance. Third time's the charm, free header for Cavani. Courtois left helpless.
