On July 31, the Shakhtar team proved once again that their 4:2 victory over Besiktas last week was not a coincidence. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
At the beginning of the match, Vinicius Tobias quickly entered the opponent's penalty area, deceived the goalkeeper, but when he took a shot from a sharp angle, Gabriel Paulista stopped the ball on the goal line. In the 12th minute, Kevin moved the ball along the wing, entered the opponent's penalty area, distracted the defender, and opened the scoring with an accurate shot to the far corner.
Alixon quickly moved forward on a counterattack and tried to deceive the opposing goalkeeper, but his shot hit the goalkeeper's hand. Rafa Silva took the ball on the wing and passed it into the penalty area.
Demir Tiknaz took a shot at the goal after several ricochets, but the ball did not reach the target. In the 45th minute, Tobias again launched an attack from the wing, sent the ball to the far post with an accurate pass, and Kavan Elias accurately directed the ball into the net, bringing the score to 2:0.
In the second half, Nevertan carried the ball forward on a counterattack and passed it to Lassin Traore. Traore took a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but the ball went just wide of the goalpost.
Thus, the Shakhtar team won 2:0 and will face the Panathinaikos team in the third qualifying round. The match took place at the "Meyski" stadium in Krakow.
