6 is not the limit

Brazilians on the flanks
For the first time in competitive games, Dodo and Marquinhos Cipriano have played for 90 minutes as fullbacks. Shakhtar’s number 28 won 7 out of 13 challenges.
In a spectacular style
Dodo has scored his first goal for Shakhtar. We want to remind you that on October 1, the right-back also provided his first assist with the club late in the game vs Atalanta in Milan.

Boryachuk’s flair
Andriy Boryachuk is the 24th footballer fielded by Luis Castro in competitive games this season. He has made his first sub appearance after returning to Shakhtar and could have scored one early but for the opposing goalkeeper who had rescued the visitors.
