It’s difficult to say how Donetsk side will play in this competition as they can reckon only upon themselves on euro arena…
Comparing to the last game against FC Sevastopol Oleh Blokhin made only one substitution – Oleh Husiev took the field instead of Jeremain Lens.
Game aspects
It’s difficult to play when you are being blindsided. Taison’s very rough play against Yarmolenko has proved it…
Home side opened the score 2 minutes into the match. Tremoulinas fouled against Costa, Srna took the free kick and hit the bottom corner.
Six minutes later Kyivans equalized the score. They could have done it earlier, but referee Shvetsov ignored the foul against Belhanda inside the penalty area.
Still the White-Blues managed to score! Husiev passed the ball to Belhanda who hit the upper V!
Srna could have scored his second goal of the game right before the break, but he missed the target a bit.
After break Shakhtar started playing more actively. 51 minutes into the match Taison assisted Eduardo, who slotted his team ahead.
Dynamo tried to equalize the score again. Shakhtar players didn’t strain at rough play. 77 minutes into the game Taison injured Yarmolenko, but according to referee Shvetsov it wasn’t a foul. He also didn’t notice Srna’s numerous foot sweeps, Eduardo’s foul against Koval and Rakytskyi’s infractions…
84 minutes into the game Teixeira scored the third goal of the match for Shakhtar.
Key episode
66 minutes into the game Mbokani was ready to hit the target from the box, but Rakytskyi pushed Congolese striker away…Penalty? Shvetsov didn’t see anything…
