  • 15' Pedro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 25' Roger Ibanez was booked on 25.
  • 30' FK Shakhtar Donetsk is showing some good football. However, FK Shakhtar Donetsk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 38' The referee shows FK Shakhtar Donetsk player a Yellow card on 38.
