Donetsk, Ukraine – Na dis Europa League clash wey happen on August 7, 2025, Shakhtar Donetsk and Panathinaikos comot like champions but dem no fit find net. Game end for 0-0, even with plenty chances wey both teams get. Na some kind match wey go make person wonder if dem don forget how to score (maybe dem just wan dey tease us?).
Shakhtar wey be home team before di game, dey trend for their performance since dem no lose any match for their last seven competitions. But dis time, dem just dey scratch ground like chicken. Na why Arda Turan, di Shakhtar manager, dey vex for di boys, say dem suppose get more hunger for goal (abeg, no be like say dem dey dine for restaurant?).
Panathinaikos no dey sleep too; dem enter di match sabi say dem no fit comot without a win after dem struggle against Rangers for Champions League qualifier. Coach Rui Vitória dey push dem to shake dem legs no be small. But di Green boys too know say make dem no fall hand against dis Ukrainian giants.
You sef go fit see di statistics dem; shots don plenty pass water, o! Shakhtar get 5 shots with just one on target while Panathinaikos follow with their own 4 shots, 0 on target. E be like say dem dey practice more of ‘shoot and miss’ instead of ‘shoot and score’ (no be wah!).
As di match dey go on, chances dey come scatter, VinÃcius Tobias wey dey star for Shakhtar even win free kick. But as di matter stand, Adam Gnezda Cerin from Panathinaikos go collect yellow card because e no sabi hold body (you know say sometimes all dem move wey dem dey try can just be like comedy).
Referee Daniel Siebert no gree run show; him dey focus and no forget to flash yellow card when e suppose. Meanwhile, wey dey draw full house for di stadium, fans dey pray for at least one goal to show dem say football no be just for fitness.
Dis go be di first leg of di knockout stage; next week, dem go travel go Panathinaikos for di second leg. No be small drama we dey expect as both teams wan make am to di Europa League playoff. If dem fit adjust dem shooting boots, we go sabi wetin dem fit do next! As e be so, make we dey watch as e dey unfold. E go hot!
