Due to the Russian military invasion, miners are forced to play their Champions League home matches in Warsaw. Compared to the match in Madrid a week ago, where «Shakhtar» lost with a score of 1-2, Igor Jovic made only one change — Traore replaced Shved in the starting lineup. We also note that in Real's starting eleven came Lunin, who is substituting the injured Courtois for the Royal Club.

In the first half, both teams controlled the ball roughly equally, but Madrid attacked more sharply. On the 18th minute, Benzema scored from a sharp angle — Trubin stood firm. The miners responded with a blocked attempt by Zubkov. At the end of the half, Trubin parried shots from Benzema and Rodrigo from a sharp angle, as well as held off a long-range shot by Valverde.

Immediately after halftime, «Shakhtar» took the lead in the score, and it was a goal similar to the one scored in Madrid. Again Mudryk initiated an attack, Mykhaylichenko delivered the pass, and Zubkov finished with a header. «Real» responded with inaccurate shots from Chouameni and Benzema after corners.

On the 65th minute, Ukrainians nearly scored again — Zubkov played Traore one-on-one against Lunin, the forward passed the keeper but hit the crossbar from a sharp angle. Shortly thereafter, Zubkov himself took a shot from distance — Lunin parried it with difficulty. Later Mudryk dribbled past several defenders and shot close to the post.

On the 73rd minute, Spaniards responded with a shot by Kroos that went wide of the far post after a corner kick. Late in the game, after a cross from Vazquez over the bar, Vinicius scored — in added time Rudiger pushed the ball towards the goalpost near the post. However, on the 90+5th minute Antonio outjumped Trubin and equalized the score. Thus, at the end of the match, miners lost their lead — 1:1.

In Shakhtar's lineup for the game were players who were called up to the national team for the last training camp: Trubin, Bondar, Matviyenko, Mykhaylichenko (assist), Stepakhnenko, Mudryk (substituted in 85th minute), Zubkov (goal, substituted in 81st minute). The goalkeeper of Ukraine's national team Lunin played the full match for «Real».
