Historical success from Arda Turan at Stamford Bridge

AEK, which started the match played at Stamford Bridge Stadium under pressure with the enthusiastic support of its fans, hit the post in the 3rd minute. In the corner taken by Lovro Majer from the left, Harold Moukoudi, who rose well in the penalty area, headed the ball into the side post.

The Ukrainian representative settled on the field and probed the opponent's goal with long shots. In the 9th minute, Alisson Santana shot from outside the penalty area, but goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli deflected the ball to the corner at the last minute.

The guest team took the lead before half an hour was up. In the AEK attack, which developed with the ball caught by Vinicius Tobias, Stavras Pilios carried the ball from the left side into the penalty area and Lovro Majer sent it into the net with a shot from the ground in the 28th minute: 0-1.

Shakhtar Donets' response to the goal was not delayed. In the 32nd minute, after the VAR warning for Filipe Relvas' intervention against Santana in the penalty area, referee Chris Kavanagh showed the penalty point.

In the 34th minute, Pedrinho took control of the ball and sent goalkeeper Brignoli and the leather ball to separate corners, equalizing the score: 1-1.

Shakhtar Donetsk gained a 2-1 advantage in the 80th minute of the match, where both teams made dangerous attacks but were ineffective in the last shot.

Vinicius Tobias, who received the ball on the right side after Alisson's pass, shot from a narrow angle, and the leather ball hit goalkeeper Brignoli's foot and went into the net.

Gleiker Mendoza, who entered the penalty area from the left side in the 86th minute, scored the ball from the top right corner with a stylish shot and announced the score of the match: 3-1.

Shakhtar Donetsk, who defeated AEK, who had not conceded a goal in the last 3 matches in the European league, 3-1, got its first victory this season and increased its points to 4. AEK remained at 3 points.
