Match Report
Shakhtar come from behind to beat AEK with two late goals
Shakhtar Donetsk beat AEK Athens 3-1 in the Champions League league phase, scoring twice in six minutes late on after the game had been level for most of the second half. The match was played at Stamford Bridge.
Lovro Majer put AEK Athens ahead in the 28th minute, but the lead lasted only six minutes. Pedrinho equalised from the penalty spot in the 34th. The score stayed 1-1 until the 80th minute, when Vinícius Tobias made it 2-1 from an Alisson Santana assist. Gleiker Mendoza added the third in the 86th, set up by Isaque.
It was a bad-tempered night for the Greek side. Majer, Harold Moukoudi and Razvan Marin were all booked before the end, and Barnabas Varga was cautioned in the 90th minute for pushing over the keeper. Marlon Gomes was the only Shakhtar Donetsk player booked.
The win gives Shakhtar Donetsk three points in the league phase. AEK Athens leave with none, and their last meeting with Shakhtar was a 5-0 win.
