Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko commented on the friendly match against AIK.

Donetsk Shakhtar this morning held a sparring against the Swedish AIC, having managed to win with a score of 2: 0.

"We won, did not miss, and could score three or four more goals, so I'm satisfied with the result.

At the same time, our gate was only one point - even with ten men we were in no way inferior to the opponent, "Stepanenko quotes official website of the Shahtar.

"As for the game and dedication, I personally gave my best today despite the unusually early start of the match, ran into the heat. If you sum up the off-season, then the preparation is happy. In Dubai, there were four sparring: yes, there was a lack of implementation, but it's fees. We hope to come in good shape to the championship and the Champions League, "- added Stepanenko.
