21 min: Palace finally get a decent hold of the ball. Wharton can’t cut through Shakhtar after trying to find Muñoz.

20 min: Here comes Pedro Henrique again, with Eguinaldo ahead of him on the left wing. But Palace’s wall holds.

17 min: Shakhtar are playing at a decent pace, not keen to aimlessly roll it around at the back. Pedro Henrique, the left-back, surges forward in search of an opening.

16 min: Wharton is late with a challenge on Alisson Santana, who is already looking rather dangerous on the right.

14 min: Palace are camped inside their own half and another defensive block is required from a shot inside the area.

12 min: Alisson Santana breaks free on the right for Shakhtar, crosses and Eguinaldo nails a first-time volley … Daniel Muñoz gets in the way. Shakhtar appeal for a handball … and well, you never know nowadays. It’s not given. Turan’s team are starting to look the part.

11 min: Henderson collects a teasing inswinger.

10 min: Pino takes a Shakhtar shirt down and the Ukrainian side have a free-kick from the right … it turns into a corner after Richards heads away.

7 min: Pino is down by the edge of his own area. Turan’s smile has gone.

6 min: Adam Wharton threatens from the edge of the area after a tidy layoff from Sarr – Riznyk gets down low to collect, fairly comfortably. Nonetheless, Palace look very lively.

4 min: Shakhtar get a feel of the ball at the back. They’re already under the pump.

Mateta and Pino play a bit of foot-volley on the edge of the area before the Frenchman slips in Sarr, driving through the right channel. He keeps his cool inside the area and rolls the ball into the far corner. Twenty-one seconds is all it took.

The players walk out of the tunnel. Shakhtar’s players each wear the Ukrainian flag.

Darijo Srna, former Croatia international and director of football at Shakhtar, speaks to TNT:

I’m not just sporting director. Sometimes I’m father, mother, sister, brother, grandpa … we have a young team, lot of young players tonight from Brazil, they need adaptation, sometimes it’s not easy during the night, rockets, sirens, but we are united, we are together. And we are here to play football. We are here to give positive emotions to the Ukrainian people tonight.

Glasner makes one change from the Palace side that started against Liverpool: Brennan Johnson is replaced by Yeremy Pino. Shakhtar have seven Brazilians in their XI, as pointed out by Glasner, speaking to TNT. “It’s really awesome what we’ve done together,” he says of the European journey. “Now it’s sticking to our principles, play with confidence, trust in what we are doing.”

There’s also this interview with Turan by Nick Ames from last July to get stuck into. He’s learned from the best.

With Simeone and Luis Enrique I had very valuable chats and discussions. They were excellent teachers but I also believe good students should improve on what they have been taught. I have a lot of positives in my pocket and now I’m trying to put them into practice on the pitch.

And here’s Ed on Palace and Glasner, who won the Europa League at Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022.

Here’s Ed Aarons’ excellent piece on Shakhtar’s journey.

Shakhtar reached the last four of the Europa League in 2016 and 2020 before Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 changed everything. Most of the club’s foreign players departed after special Fifa regulations allowed them to leave for free. Shakhtar failed with a claim for up to €50m in compensation and were forced to start from scratch.
