The team of Borussia (Monchengladbach) established itself in the first place in Group `B` of the Champions League, after defeating Shakhtar (Donetsk) 4-0 at home. The match was from the fourth round in the group stage, and the goals were scored by Lars Stindl (17-penalty), Nico Elvedi (34), Brill Embolo (45 + 1) and Oscar Wend (77). Borussia collected 8 points and Shakhtar is still second with 4, but can be replaced tonight by Real Madrid or Inter. The hosts took the lead with a goal by Lars Schindl from a penalty in the 17th minute. Sergei Krivtsov committed a foul in the penalty area against Marcus Thuram, and referee Junette Chakar pointed to the white point. After consultation with VAR, the decision was confirmed, and Stindel turned into a goal the 11-meter penalty kick - 1:0 for Borussia. The hosts were very close to a second goal just a few minutes later. In the 21st minute Brill Embolo received the ball just before the arc of the penalty area and made a very nice shot at the door of veteran Andriy Pyatov, but luckily for the guard the ball bounced off his left side post.
Embollo continued to harass the defense of the Ukrainians and the second goal was not late, but its author was Nico Elvedi. He sent the ball into the goal with his head after a cross from the corner by Schindl`s corner kick in the 34th minute. In the last seconds of the first half, the persistence of Embolo finally paid off and he made the score 3:0. The Swiss striker scored a very beautiful goal with back scissors from close range. This happened after a cross from a foul and a not very convincing game of Pyatov, who was overcome for the third time in one half by the players of Borussia. In the second half, the guests from Donetsk did nothing to make the result advised by asian handicap stats more acceptable to them. On the contrary, in the 77th minute Borussia scored a fourth goal. Its author was Oscar Wend, who centered from a foul on the right, no one played with the ball, it hit the right side post of Pyatov and ended up in the door of Shakhtar. In the last minutes, the Ukrainians tried to reach an honorable goal, but they did not succeed and Borussia recorded another crushing victory against this opponent, after the resounding success of the Germans with 6:0 as guests at the beginning of the month.
