Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against PSV and FK Shakhtar Donetsk has kicked off!
- 5' PSV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 8' What a strike from Danylo Sikan! The score is 0-1.
- 13' It looks surprising FK Shakhtar Donetsk does not make any changes. Luuk de Jong has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 18' FK Shakhtar Donetsk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 23' Ryan Flamingo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 28' Mykola Matvienko has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Olivier Boscagli suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' GOAL! Oleksandr Zubkov scores on 37. Assisted by Yukhym Konoplya
- 42' 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.
- 46' Ricardo Pepi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matteo Dams on 46 minute.

- 59' PSV receives a card for a hard tackle on 59.
- 64' The PSV manager makes a substitution. Noa Lang departs to be replaced by Guus Til.
- 66' It is a substitution in FK Shakhtar Donetsk team. Oleksandr Zubkov is replaced by Taras Stepanenko on 66 minute.
- 69' FK Shakhtar Donetsk player sees a card in front of him.
- 74' Hirving Lozano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Olivier Boscagli on 74 minute.
- 79' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 84' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 85' The referee shows PSV player a card on 85.
- 87' Goal! Malik Tillman scores his 39 goal in 540 matches.
