VIDEO OF THE DAY
Last weekend, the wards of Austrian specialist Oliver Glasner and Turkish Arda Turan held regular meetings in their national championships. Crystal Palace suffered a crushing defeat to Bournemouth in the away match of the Premier League – 0:3 (Lerma, 10, own goal, Krupi, 32, from the penalty spot, Ryan, 77) and dropped to 15th place in the standings with a 6-point gap from the relegation zone. In turn, Shakhtar defeated Dynamo (2:1) in the UPL and can already claim the championship title in the next round.

Moreover, on five occasions, Shakhtar capitulated in the second leg, drawing only once: against Vicenza – 1:3, 1:2 in 1997, against Roda – 1:3, 0:2 in 1999, against Borussia Dortmund – 0:2, 1:3 in 2001, against Dynamo Bucharest – 0:2, 2:3 in 2003, against AZ – 1:3, 1:2 in 2005 and against Inter – 0:2, 1:1 in 2005.
