Shakhtar's last match at the Donbas Arena: what it was like.

On May 2, 2014, Shakhtar played its last home match at the Donbas Arena. 10 years ago, Mircea Lucescu's men confidently beat Illichivets (FC Mariupol). After that, Donetsk was occupied and the management was seized by the "Donetsk People's Republic" terrorists.

The game of the 28th round of the Ukrainian Premier League was attended by 18,017 viewers. This was 34% of the arena's total capacity (53,423).

In the 26th minute, Mykola Ishchenko opened the scoring in the match by sending the ball into the team's own net. Half an hour later, the visitors were able to get back into the game after an accurate head shot by Andrii Totovytskyi.

Luiz Adriano scored the winning goal in the 67th minute. And Douglas Costa put the final point in the match, becoming the author of Shakhtar's last goal at the Donbas Arena.

In October last year, the Russian Ministry of Sports announced that it intends to start "restoring" the Donbas Arena stadium in temporarily occupied Donetsk. Also, the aggressor country intends to integrate it into the Russian championship.
