Donetsk Shakhtar held its first control match as part of the winter training camp near Turechchyna. Girnikiv's rival was becoming a representative of the German Regional League of the Sunset (the fourth strongest division of the region) - Sonnenhof Grossaspach.

Despite the status of an obvious favorite, the vice-champion of Ukraine has lost serious support. The German team, which immediately sits in another place near its base and is fighting for promotion to the 3rd Bundesliga, decided to impose its game and hit the gates of the orange-black.

Ardi Turan's team managed to beat the news with just one more shot - a prestige goal scored by winger Pedrinho. The Brazilian successfully converted the penalty.

Shakhtar spent the offensive sparring in just a few days - 5 fierce against the Latvian Riga.
