update: 1:0

29.08 FC Shakhtar Donetsk – RB Salzburg
for sure the most important game in the young history of red bull salzburg, and probably the hardest one. donetsk will run a 90 offense with 4 brasilian top-players, and red bull has to defend the 1:0 from last match. hopefully i can at least follow the match via webradio. the following facts enforce the picture why this match will be so difficult to win:

Shakhtar Donetsk have qualified for the group stages three times and have gained some highly impressive scalps. Arsenal, Roma and Barcelona have all been beaten by the Ukrainians, who enjoy an excellent home record in Europe’s top competition:
