Unusual scene at the Estádio do Dragão this Wednesday evening. For the sixth and final day of the Champions League, FC Porto and Shakhtar crossed swords with the reward for the winner being qualification for the final phase of the C1. Advantage, however, to the Portistas, tied in accounting terms with the Ukrainian team thanks to a particularly favorable goal difference. If Galeno broke the deadlock in the sixth minute of play, Donetsk scored the equalizing goal in a completely unusual action.

Indeed, on the call in the right lane by Oleksandr Zubkov, the linesman first signaled an offside on the part of the Ukrainian winger. At the linesman’s announcement, the Portuguese stopped playing, but not the men in orange, who found Danylo Sikan to push the ball into the empty goal. An incomprehensible situation for Sérgio Conceição’s men, who asked the official for explanations. The latter would even check the action of the equalizing goal, called by the VAR, before validating it, in complete obscurity. The local Brazilian scorer finally gave his team the lead before the break (43rd).
