First Leg Victory | Shakhtar Donetsk 1-3 Crystal Palace | UEFA Conference League
Ukrainian league leader Shakhtar host Premier League Crystal Palace in the first leg of this
semi-final. Arda Turan names seven Brazilians in his starting 11. Alisson scored three times
in the quarter-final. Oliver Glasner names the same 11 that started the second leg of
their quarter-final. It's a brilliant start here from Palace. They're in already with Izmailis.
Inside 22 seconds. Crystal Palace take the lead. It's their top scorer Izmailis.
Oh they've got the first contact and there's the equaliser from Archeretko.
The corner kick works wonders for Shakhtar. Pino breaks kindly for Mateta. Oh what a save.
Mateta! It's a double stop from Riznik. What a chance for Sarr to get his second.
Brilliant goalkeeping and then Mateta couldn't finish it. Long throw from Richards. Oh off the post.
So close to a second for Palace. Riznik beaten. The long throw again. Kamada!
Palace. Post with one long throw. The next. More Kamada. Found Strand-Larsen. Chance for number three.
It's Palace's record signing. Who makes it? 3-1 to the Eagles.
What an important goal in the context of the tie. Shakhtar 1, Crystal Palace 3.
