The European Cup evenings with the participation of Ukrainian clubs have traditionally continued for the summer part of the season, when it comes to matches, in particular, the UEFA Europa League. On the way to the main round of this competition, we are fighting Donetsk Shakhtar, who, following the results of last season, took the third place in the standings, but won the Cup of Ukraine. And later, Finnish Ilves and Turkish Besiktash managed to get out of the qualifying competitions.

The next rival of the Miners in the queue was a very famous Greek collective – Panatinaikos, to which special attention was paid in the capital of their home country, ateni, even despite the fact that the championship medals of the Greek Super League “Greens” have not been wearing a long time ago. Last season, led by Ruum Vatoria took only the third place in the championship, but started in the UEFA Champions League qualification. Unsuccessfully – the Scottish Rangers could not be overcome.

The two -match confrontation in this pair began at the Athenian Hill. And at this time of year, playing football in the capital of Greece is still a test. As if the evening began at the time of the starting whistle of Belgium, Eric Lambrechts, but the temperature after the next hot day was ashamed – 34 in Celsius outside, it is not a joke, as for professional sports.

Did it affect the players of both teams? Yes, because for the sake of attacking football it was necessary to spend more physical resources, which at the start of the season were already noticeably limited. Shakhtar, who sought to dominate the ball, in this context, it was difficult to reveal to the full. That is why we saw from the team of Turan where the nervous football with a small number of goal moments before the break and a lot of casual mistakes.

However, Shakhtar’s goalkeepers were still the first when Dronghovsky had to parry Alisson’s strike in his near right flank of the penalty area at the end of the counterattack. It is a pity, but the Greeks were almost left to such a free space before the break. Instead, they created moments under the curtain, when the difference was to pull the pelvister under the crossbar.

Panatinaikos was also active in Shakhtar Tete, who tried to distinguish at the gates of the expatriates, but unsuccessfully – the second time of the owners also had to be held at their own gates. However, Shakhtar allegedly was in no hurry. Miners’ goal moments fell for the final minutes, but then the rivals were intensified.

The strike of the fresh Eginaldo from the right flank of the penalty area from the goalkeeper almost immediately after the appearance on the field opened the diagnostic occasions on both sides of the field in 74 minutes, but the annoyance was that Palmer-Brown pushed the Brazilian on the lawn at the time of the blow, from which he was injured. Var, by the way, this episode for some reason left without additional accents. And the miner had to burn another replacement in a level.

And then Panatinaikos created his best moments in this meeting, but the hazel wall stood against the blows of Svidersky and Zarur in a dangerous intimacy to the gate. The first seven in this series was generally on the verge of fiction in terms of goalkeeper reaction. But the last word of Shakhtar in this game still left behind, when the Swede and a non -arrogance joint efforts did not pushes the ball into the rustle gate in the compensated time. However, the duel would not have been closed. Everything just starts here.

The match between the Donetsk miner and the Greek panatinaicos will take place in Krakow in Krakow.
