Defender Shakhtar Bogdan Butko commented on the match with Hoffenheim.

Shakhtar played an effective draw with Hoffenheim (2: 2).

"Of course, I wanted to win - after all, a home match. I thank the fans for coming and rooting for us, because it's very important. It is always pleasant to play at full stands, to feel support. In the first half, there were many mistakes, gave the opponent space, there were many moments and corners at our gates, "Butko quotes the official website of the Miner.

"We were well prepared for Hoffenheim, we knew that this team is very high, but we lost a lot of struggle and did not always get on time defensively. But the second half was better already. The coach pointed out mistakes, and everything changed - they began to show their football. Well, that scored and equalized, in the end could still differ. We struggled to the end for the victory, but we could not win. But for a rival a draw, I think, was a good result, because this is their debut in the Champions League ".
