A shock result at the Stadio Olimpico as Shakhtar Donetsk scored 3 away goals within 12 mins of the match this was after Perotta had put Roma in the lead. Jadson had equalized for the visitors hitting a 25 yard shot into the back of the net which might have taken an deflection along the way.
Soon after they scored an away goal they then took the lead from Costa who took at 20 yard shot and made the score 1-2 to the visitors. More bad luck came for Roma when Riise kept a ball in that was going out and then gave away possession to Costa and Adriano made it 1-3 to Shakhtar.
Shakhtar became more defensive in the second half to try and protect there 2 goal lead and Roma became more dangerous and it didnt look like they were going to be rewarded as shots from Menez and Totti didnt go in but Menez did get his reward in the end as he scored a goal from outside his penalty area but it was Shakhtar Donetsk night as they held on.
You have to fancy Shakhtar Donetsk in the second leg being home and having 3 away goals behind them. Roma will need to start fast and get a goal quickly in the match but Shakhtar can play this in a number of different ways. I think they should play a similar tactic to what they did in the first half but we will see. My money is on Shakhtar Donetsk to get through.
