With the goal of the old lieutenant Liu Yun in the 25th minute, Manchester United equalized 1-1 away. The physical confrontation between the players in the ensuing match was staggering.

In the 30th minute, Pogba broke the ball at the back, and Shakhtar midfielder Teixeira rushed over from the side and hit Pogba directly.

Pogba's body is one of the strongest in the midfield in the entire top five leagues, but Teixeira is not afraid of Pogba, who is half a head taller than him.

"Knock~" Matic beside the two could even clearly hear the sound of the two bodies colliding together!

The two fell to the ground almost at the same time. Nemanja Matic ran over and kicked the ball off the line, causing a dead ball.

The referee motioned for the team doctors of both teams to enter the stadium for inspection.

Pogba grinned and signaled to the team doctor that he could continue the game.

Teixeira also struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth and holding on to the game.

In the 33rd minute, Red Devils captain Valencia made a long pass from the back, and Rashford and Shakhtar midfielder Stepanenko jumped up at the same time, and the two almost reached the ball at the same time. After hitting the ball, the two heads collided together!

"Bang~" Rashford and Spantier fell to the ground at the same time. Stretcher teams from both sides entered. After a simple handling on the field, the two returned to the field.

For the rest of the first half, such scenes abounded.

Manchester United was like a sharp spear that crashed into the solid shield of Shakhtar Donetsk.

Shakhtar Donetsk's style of play is simply too strong. Of course, being tough doesn't mean being brutal and being indiscriminate. Some of the body collisions were not fouls by the miners, but simply because they were too eager to win. If you don't care about your moves, you risk injuring yourself and your opponent at the same time.

The referee's penalty scale in this game is very loose. Rao was a fierce confrontation between the two sides, and he did not show a single yellow card in the entire first half.

Jose Mourinho was like a lion trapped in a cage, pacing back and forth restlessly around the dugout.

Every time Shakhtar Donetsk makes a successful push or interception, the 50,000 Ukrainians in the stands of the Lviv Municipal Stadium erupt in cheers.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Shevchenko in the stands stared at the field, and he knew in his heart that if Shakhtar Donetsk had maintained such a strong defense, if they had seized one or two more chances in the second half, they might really be able to overturn Manchester United, a luxury battleship with LIL, at home!

"Toot ~" As the referee blew the whistle, the first half ended, and Manchester United drew 1:1 with Shakhtar Donetsk at home.

The entire stadium in Lviv gave a standing ovation. For them, Shakhtar Donetsk's first-half draw with the mighty Manchester United proved that the Ukrainians are not lambs to be slaughtered!

The significance of this game, for the suffering Ukrainians, is by no means just an ordinary football game. Shakhtar Donetsk is fighting for national honor.

The big-mouthed Dunphy on the commentary bench said: "I have to say that the spirit of the Shakhtar Donetsk players is really awe-inspiring! With their physical runs and injuries to fight, they withstood the attacks of the powerful Red Devils. Manchester United have met a tough and tenacious opponent! ”

Fat Bob also did not hesitate to praise Shakhtar Donetsk: "It is incredible that such a team, in such a domestic environment, can still maintain such combat effectiveness in the continental arena!" They have a never-give-up spirit in their players. Reminds me of Coventry in the FA Cup! ”

Manchester United's dressing room.

Paul Pogba is holding an ice pack to his shoulder, Rashford is applying an ice pack to his head, and the physiotherapist is massaging Valencia's calf from a first-half tackle。。。。。

Mourinho asked the crowd in a loud voice: "Are there any people who can't keep playing?" I could have replaced him in the second half! ”

There was no one in the dressing room to answer!

"Since Shakhtar Donetsk's Marlos can continue to play with a bandage on his head, we can also keep playing!" The old captain Valencia said categorically.

Mourinho nodded: "No matter how tough the opponent is, how tenacious. I want you to be fearless! Bring victory back to Old Trafford! ”

Liu Yun had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart. Shakhtar Donetsk is too much like Coventry mentally! An opponent with such a spirit is the easiest to create an upset! Could it be that Manchester United really want to go home empty-handed in this game?

The halftime is over and the second half begins!

As soon as the second half began, the two teams were anxious again. Shakhtar Donetsk's players are like a dog skin plaster when defending, firmly glued to Manchester United's players with the ball and players running without the ball.

Liu Yun took the ball three times in the front of the penalty area, but they were all defused by Shakhtar Donetsk's bag defense.

Minutes and seconds passed. Manchester United had no way to take Shakhtar Donetsk's goal, and Shakhtar Donetsk's side couldn't organize an effective attack.

Dunphy, the big-mouthed, commented: "It's been 68 minutes now. I think the running distance of the whole team of Shakhtar Donetsk must have reached 120 kilometers! ”

Last season's average distance traveled in the Premier League, Chelsea topped the list with 116 kilometres. Although there were still 22 minutes left to end the game, Shakhtar Donetsk's players did not hesitate to run with physical strength, and the distance they ran exceeded the average distance of Chelsea!

Fat Bob continued: "Although the equipment of the Lviv Municipal Stadium is backward, it is impossible to measure the distance traveled in the whole field. However, I think Dunphy is right! The players of Shakhtar Donetsk used almost all their physical strength to run and scramble! I wouldn't be surprised if Shakhtar Donetsk can beat Manchester United in an upset in this game! ”

Fat Bob was talking, and the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Shakhtar Donetsk has finally organized an effective offensive!

Stepanenko won the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and Valencia defended closely. He saw a large gap in front of Shetra on the left side of the box. Decisive long pass to transfer the ball in a wide area!

Shetra got the ball and accelerated past Lindelof! He dribbled all the way to the baseline and crossed with his feet! The ball is hoisted into the box!

At the critical moment, the Malos with a bandaged head in the Shakhtar Donetsk team showed his true character as a tough guy!

He jumped high and fought with the tall Pogba at all costs!

Marlos grabbed the first drop point! Header on goal! The moment the ball was shot, Pogba's strong body crashed into him!

Marlos, who had a thin body, was knocked out like a piece of paper!

At the same time, the ball that had just been shot by his header went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
