Shakhtar Donetsk lost to French Rennes in the second leg of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, but advanced to the 1/8 finals on penalties. In the middle of the first half, the Pitmen scored a goal, but the referee canceled it after watching the video replay. In the 22nd minute, after a cross from a corner, Artem Bondarenko made a reset to the goalkeeper's area, where Lassina Traore pushed the ball into the goal. However, as it turned out, Bondarenko played with his hand during the transfer. At the start of the second half of the meeting, Rennes took the lead. In the 52nd minute, Carl Toko Ekambi drove the ball under the crossbar from close range after a pass from Amin Guiri. Thus, the main time of the match ended with a minimal victory for Rennes.. Since the Pitmen won with a score of 2:1 in the first match between the teams, the confrontation went to extra time. In the second extra time, the French team again scored. In the 106th minute, substitute Ibrahim Salah sent the ball into an empty net after a pass from Jeremy Docu, who had fled from Nikolay Matvienko. However, in the 119th minute, Rennes midfielder Januel Belosyan cut the ball into his own net after a cross by Neven Djurasek from the left flank. So the fate of the two-legged confrontation was resolved in the penalty shootout, where the Pitmen's nerves turned out to be stronger — 4:5. The winners of the pairs of 1/16 finals will join the teams that took first places in the Europa League groups. The draw for the 1/8 finals will take place on February 24, and the matches of this stage will take place on March 9 and 16..
