The match was held in Polish Krakow at formally “home” for the Ukrainian team of the stadium. The first match of a week earlier ended with a zero draw.
For various reasons, a number of Shakhtar leaders, in particular Georgy Sudakov, Kevin, Pedrinho, Eginaldo, Traore and Kryskiv, could not reach the decisive game, the Terricon website noted.
In the first half of the game in Krakow, none of the teams could score, in the second half, zeros continued to glow on the scoreboard.
In the 82nd minute, the situation for Shakhtar became threatening: for the second yellow card (the first was shown in the 48th minute) Oleg Ochretko was removed from the field, and the Ukrainian team remained in the minority.
At the same time, the judge showed the Red Card to the chief coach of Shakhtar Arda Turan – for supporting Ochretko, writes Terrikon.
The spectators did not see the goals in the main time, so two extra-Time were appointed.
Shakhtar spent the first replacement only in the 101st minute, when Egor Nazarin came out instead of Marlon Gomez.
As a result, for four halves in Krakow, the teams failed to hit the gate, everything was decided in a series of post -match penalty foams.
The team from Greece made them better – 4: 3.
“Shakhtar” will now play in the conferences league, where in the qualification playoffs of the round his rival will become “Servett” from Switzerland.
