The only goal of the Gornyaks was scored by Sudakov
Miner gave in minimally Barcelona in the away match of the 3rd round of the group stage Champions League – 1:2.
Xavi Hernandez’s team took the lead midway through the first half. The refereeing team led by Ivan Kruzljak, using the VAR system, counted Ferran Torres’ goal. In the 36th minute, Fermin Lopez increased the Catalans’ lead.
After the break, Ferran scored again, but the goal was canceled due to offside. And three minutes later, Georgy Sudakov, taking advantage of Irakli Azarov’s pass, reduced Shakhtar’s gap in the score.
Barcelona tried to regain a comfortable lead, but first Fermin’s shot hit the post, and then the referees canceled Lopez’s goal for offside.

This was Shakhtar’s debut match under the leadership of Marino Pusic. The specialist was only appointed yesterday to the post of head coach of the Miners.
