11.12.2019 16:41

In their last match of this year's UEFA Youth League, Fernando Valente's charges could not take a single point, losing to Atalanta.

In their last match of the UEFA Youth League, Shakhtar U-19 Donetsk hosted Italian Atalanta on the training ground of Metalist in Vysokyi. The Pitmen did not have a chance to continue the fight in the playoffs, so it was more about their prestige.

Unfortunately, young Donetsk residents failed to achieve a positive result. Already in the 20th minute, the Italians took the lead after a shot by Piccoli, and all attempts by the hosts to play back before the break were in vain. The beginning of the second half of the game was again for the guests, and in the 53rd minute Piccoli made a double from a sharp angle.

After that, one goal Valentine's wards still played. In the 61st minute, Mudryk was knocked down in the penalty area. Bondarenko converted the penalty. 1: 2.

In honor of Shakhtar's players, it should be noted that they fought until the last minute. However, the shots of Kozyk, Sikan and Vyunnik lacked accuracy.

As a result, Shakhtar's fourth defeat in Group C, and the Ukrainian team finishes the tournament in last place.
