Shakhtar Donetsk hosted a match of the sixth round of the group round of the Champions League with Inter Milan.
Christian Eriksen is not so suitable for Inter football that Antonio Conte decided to risk Nicolo Barella, who had health problems, in a key match. Luis Castro surprised with the starting scheme: 5-3-2 with Stepanenko in the center of defense, the trio of Maicon-Kovalenko-Marlos in midfield and Tete with Tyson in attack.
In the debut of the meeting there was an equal game with the territorial advantage of the hosts. Inter could score a quick goal, creating a super chance after a shot from the right flank – Lautaro won the position in Cooper and powerfully scored in the crossbar. Shakhtar defended in an organized manner, so the Nerazzurri approached the goal by throwing at Lukaku, who was looking for Lautaro.
Trubin made a spectacular save in the 53rd minute after hitting Lukaku with his head. The Pitmen responded with a counterattack with blows from Tete and Maicon – in both cases, fortune was on the side of the hosts.
By the end of the game, Milan failed to score thanks to Trubin’s dedicated game – 0: 0.
