Riznyk scored an own goal in the first half, but was able to save the penalty kick in the second
As part of the third round of the main stage of the Champions League Miner lost minimally on the road Arsenal with the score 0:1.
The home team was unable to score the first goal for a long time, but still managed to open the scoring in the 29th minute, when, after a shot from Gabriel Martinelli, the ball first hit the post and then flew into the Miners’ goal from Dmitry Riznyk.
After the break, the Gunners again had the initiative and in the middle of the second half were awarded a penalty – Valery Bondar played with his hand in his own penalty area. But Leandro Trossard failed to beat Riznyk. Until the end of the game, the Miners were unable to win back and were left with nothing.
Ukrainian defender of the Gunners Alexander Zinchenko was included in the squad for this game, but never took the field.
After this match, Arsenal have gained seven points and are in fourth place in the overall Champions League table. Shakhtar has only one point and 29th position.
