Champions League. Shakhtar lost to Borussia Monchengladbach and lost to the opponent in first place in the table

Thanks to a successful start in this year's Champions League, the Pitmen approached the third round as the leader of Quartet B. Their rivals did not lose in the first two rounds.

The starting lineup of the Orange and Blacks was almost the same as in the matches with "Real" and "Inter", with one exception. Instead of Dentinho, who played as a striker in those matches, Tyson was among the top 11. However, Moraes, the only actual striker in the team's bid for this match, was in reserve.

It was clear that Shakhtar is unlikely to deviate from the model that was successful at the beginning of the tournament, and Donetsk will again focus on defense and counterattacks. But the guests started the game extremely aggressively, actively used high pressure, and Donetsk did not cope with such pressure. In the 8th minute, Borussia's players made a quick attack: Kramer made a pass on the move to Liner, who shot from the right flank to the penalty area. The Pitmen did not have time to take their positions in defense, and Plea in one touch sent the ball to the bottom corner. 0: 1.

Opening the account, the wards of Marco Rose continued to act as the number one, and soon consolidated their advantage. After Cramer's shot from outside the penalty area, the ball hit Cooper and changed the direction of the flight, which disoriented Trubin. 0: 2. Borussia did not stop there. Plea received the ball near the penalty line and punched hard under the crossbar, while Marcos Antonio only nominally marked any opposition to the opponent. And only with the score 0: 3 Shakhtar created the first moment - Tete's shot in the near corner was parried by Sommer.

Shortly before the break, Bensebaini scored his team's fourth goal after a corner and a win. The statistics showed how free the guests felt on the field of NSC Olimpiysky: in the first half, the referee did not record a single foul on the part of Shakhtar players.

In the second 45 minutes, three new players appeared in the orange and black team, and at least some hints of aggression appeared in the team's actions. But little has changed in terms of gameplay. In the middle of the half, Gladbach intercepted the ball after Trubin introduced it into the game, and Stindl scored 0: 5. And then Plea scored a hat-trick from Turam's transfer.

The football players of the national team of Ukraine, who received a challenge, took part in the match for the next collection: Bondar (own goal), Kornienko, Marlos (substituted in the 46th minute), Kovalenko (substituted in the 46th minute), Moraes (substituted in the 46th minute), Stepanenko (substituted in the 69th minute) and minutes).
