Arena auf Schalke, Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - The Young Boys experience another disaster in the Champions League! With a 1: 2 against Schachtar Donetsk you have to give up again and stay without points. The game took place in the arena on Schalke, where 17,420 spectators witnessed a dramatic game. The Bernese already started with a heavily weakened squad because eight defenders were missing. But the Situation escalated as defense chief Loris Benito had to be replaced in the first half.

The Young Boys initially took the lead: Kastriot Imeri scored 1-0 in the 27th minute. But the joy lasted briefly. Schachtar mercilessly took advantage of the defensive disorder of the Bernese and equalized four minutes later through Oleksandr Subkow. Benito's injury was a severe blow for the team, who was already fighting players with a patchwork. In the 41st minute, Horhij Sudakow ensured the leadership of the Ukrainians, which had existed until the final whistle.
