Shakhtar secured a convincing victory in their Champions League match.

In the seventh round of the main stage of the Champions League, Donetsk's "Shakhtar" faced the French team "Brest" in what was nominally a home match.

The Ukrainian team managed to confidently overcome their opponent, securing their second victory of the season in the Champions League.

Shakhtar's Brazilian winger, Kevin, intercepted the ball from the opposing captain in the 18th minute, dribbled half the field with the ball, outplayed the goalkeeper, and opened the scoring in the match.

Closer to the end of the first half, the "miners" earned a penalty, which Georgiy Sudakov took and converted, beating the opposing goalkeeper.

After the break, Shakhtar, who had completely dominated the first half, began to play more cautiously with a focus on defense. However, Brest failed to create any genuinely dangerous moments, and all their few attempts were easily handled by goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk.

In the closing moments of the match, Shakhtar scored a third goal, but the referees disallowed it after reviewing the replay.
