In the reply match of the first qualifying round of the Europa League, Donetsk's 'Shakhtar' faced Finnish 'Ilves' in Tampere.
After winning the first leg 6-0, Arda Turan's team effectively decided the fate of the two-legged tie.
The first half was dominated by the orange and black side, who completely controlled the game initiative and created several goal-scoring opportunities, but failed to convert them due to a lack of accuracy in Traoré, Pedriño, and Egnaldao's shots.
After halftime, the miners had at least four good chances to change the score on the board, but once again, their finishing let them down.
So 0-0 — a draw that sent 'Shakhtar' into the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
