Shakhtar Donetsk 1-1 Real Madrid: Rudiger's last-gasp equaliser denies famous win

공유

Shakhtar Donetsk were on course for a famous victory before Antonio Rudiger headed home to clinch Real Madrid's spot in the knockout stage.

Antonio Rudiger's last-minute header shattered Shakhtar Donetsk hearts in Warsaw, with a 1-1 draw securing Real Madrid's spot in the Champions League knockout stages.

Oleksandr Zubkov opened the scoring a minute into the second half to put the Ukrainian side in sight of a sensational result on Tuesday, with the hosts close to doubling their lead when Lassina Traore clipped the crossbar.

Carlo Ancelotti's side, needing a point to secure safe passage to the round of 16, went for broke in the closing stages by moving Antonio Rudiger into a forward role.

That provided the breakthrough in the closing seconds, the German defender heading past Anatoliy Trubin to deny what would have been a famous victory.

A passive first half saw limited opportunities, Karim Benzema having the first sight of goal after 18 minutes with a stinging shot to test Anatoliy Trubin, who then enjoyed a quiet spell before tipping Federico Valverde's effort from long distance over the bar.

Shakhtar capitalised on their visitors' poor showing by taking the lead just minutes into the second period, Bohdan Mykhailichenko providing the cross for Zubkov to head past compatriot Andriy Lunin.

As below-par Madrid toiled, Shakhtar continued to pose more threat – Traore rounding Lunin but only chipping his effort against the crossbar, with Zubkov then forcing the Madrid goalkeeper into action before Mykhaylo Mudryk dragged an attempt wide.

Those missed chances ultimately proved costly, with makeshift striker Rudiger – having nodded just wide a few moments prior – heading home in the fifth minute of stoppage time to send Madrid through.

 

Key Opta Facts

- Madrid have 10 points after four Champions League group stage matches this season (W3 D1), their most at this stage since 2015-16.
- Shakhtar have won just one of their last 11 games in the Champions League, drawing five and losing five. The Ukrainian side did, however, end a run of three consecutive defeats against Madrid in the competition.
- Rudiger's equaliser (94:31) was Madrid's joint-third latest goal in the Champions League and also the club's latest goal in the group stage.
- Zubkov has scored two goals in 10 Champions League appearances, with both of those goals coming against Madrid.
- Zubkov's goal came after 34 seconds of the second half, making it Shakhtar's earliest second-half goal in the competition, overtaking Willian's effort against Chelsea in November 2012 (scored at 46:43)
