FC Shakhtar head coach Paulo Fonseca commented on the mistake made by goalkeeper Andrey Pyatov in the Champions League match against Hoffenheim.

"Miners" have recouped twice during the game, snatching a 2: 2 draw.

"If there are individual mistakes, people always extol them to such an extent that they forget all the good that the football player has done before. I do not have the habit of blaming either player individually. Yes, mistakes happen, but there is nothing wrong with them.

Do not forget that Pyatov is a great goalkeeper.. I think no one has any doubts about his qualities. He is the best goalkeeper of Ukraine.

When I make a choice from this position, I never doubt, "said the Portuguese specialist.

Also, Fonseca thanked the fans who came to USC Metalist to support the team.

"I would like to say about the fans who came to the stadium and vigorously supported Shakhtar even in those moments when we were inferior. From me, the coaching staff and the whole team - thank you very much. Thank you! ", - added the coach.

In the second round, Shakhtar will play on the road against Lyon. The match will be held on October 2 at 10:00 pm.
