The day before there was a match between Shakhtar and Crystal Palace as part of the Conference League. The Ukrainian team was unable to compete with the English team, and the game ended with a score of 3:1. Donetsk club coach Arda Turan summed up the results of the first semi-final match. “We created a lot of chances in attack but Crystal Palace played against us the way they usually play against Manchester City, Arsenal and other top-of-the-table opponents in the Premier League.. I immediately emphasized to my players in the pre-match setup that they should not feel comfortable being around the ball a lot. Because Crystal Palace feels most comfortable in such situations, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

For us, the most important thing in this match was the implementation of one-on-one chances and attacks behind the opponent’s back. Unfortunately, today our opponent turned out to be better in these components, but in all other aspects we showed our quality. I think we played the match at a high level,” said the Turkish coach. We would like to add that the semi-final return match will take place on May 7 in London..
