Defender Shakhtar Pedro Enrique summed up the results of the confrontation with Young Boys (2:1) in the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League.
“I tend to think that we really showed incredible quality football today. The most important thing is that we won 3 points. We worked every day for this result.”
“We played against a really worthy opponent, who has enough qualified players, enough experienced European Cup fighters. We were able to demonstrate an excellent game and get results. We will continue to work to increase all our achievements.”
“It’s always unpleasant to concede, especially when we really showed a good game, but sometimes mistakes happen on the football field. It’s normal, part of the game. The most important thing is that we managed to turn the game around. The missed goal did not affect our mood in any way, after which we began to fight for the desired result with even greater dedication. This goal galvanized us to turn the game in our favor.”
The guests managed to score first; Kastriot Imeri scored. Just four minutes later, the Miners got even – Alexander Zubkov blocked Georgy Sudakov’s cross, and scored Shakhtar’s first goal in the current Champions League.
Later, Sudakov himself, after a combination with Eguinaldo, brought the Ukrainian club ahead. Until the end of the match, Shakhtar managed to maintain a minimal advantage.
After four rounds, Marino Pusic’s team has four scoring points and is in 28th position. On November 27, the Miners will hold an away meeting with PSV.
