The kids secured Red Bull’s victory
All matches have been played at 21:00. Red Bull Salzburg faced the Danish Brondby and it was the Austrians who were the favorite to win. Contrary to similar predictions, the meeting led by judge Szymon Marciniak began with a quick blow from Niels Frederiksen’s charges. In the fourth minute Mikael Uhre opened the scoring and it was the Austrians who had to chase the result.
They came down to the dressing room as a losing team, but coach Matthias Jaissle knew how to hit the players … and which ones to designate for the game. In the 56th minute, Karim Adeyemi – a sensational 19-year-old who had already bitten his rivals five times in four matches of the ongoing league season – equalized. We watched the emotions until the end, and in the 90th minute the result was set by Brenden Aaronson, introduced in the break. Another youngster – the American is 20 years old.
Red Bull Salzburg – Bronby 2:1 (0:1)
He came from Benfica for a fortune, brought Shakhtar closer to LM
In the next game against AS Monaco, the third best team of last season, Ligue 1, played at home Shakhtar Donetsk. A recognized brand, but not so as to put it on a par with the team more effective than the French champion, with Kevin Volland and Wissam Ben Yedder running in the attack. The German and the French scored 36 goals in the last league campaign, but they were helpless against the defense of the Ukrainian team. The latter – the captain – was removed from the field in the 67th minute.
What else can be said about Pedrinho, Shakhtar’s winger. The Brazilian in June became the hero of the second most expensive transfer in the club’s history, Benfica collected 18 million euros for him. In the first game against Monaco, the 23-year-old proved that the money spent on him can pay off quickly. In the 19th minute he played the ball very quickly with his teammates, then he fell into the penalty area in the style of Neymar, outplayed three defenders, outsmarted the fourth and the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net. The French could not do anything more and despite a decisive advantage in creating the action, the defeated left the field.
AS Monaco – Shakhtar Donetsk 0: 1 (0: 1)
They threw Legia overboard, they are already one leg apart from LM
In the third match, Sheriff Tiraspol was to fight the stronger, on paper, Dinam Zagreb. It was the Croats in the third round of the LM qualifying round that turned out to be better than Legia Warszawa and after a draw in the first leg of the tie, they won after a quick goal in the second leg. Damir Krznar’s players were also favorites with the team from Moldova, but they made a great sensation and are already one leg and four fingers of the other in the Champions League.
The goal to the dressing room was scored by Adama Traore in the 45th minute. Nine minutes into the second half of the game, Dimitrios Kolovos fired a magnificent volley bomb, and the destruction was completed ten minutes before the end of the first goal. Moldovans were faster, stronger than their rivals, they were great with long balls. If they do not lose their concentration in the rematch in Croatia, they will be able to scare them with their efficiency and confidence in the Champions League.
Sheriff Tiraspol – Dinamo Zagreb 3: 0 (1: 0)
