Despite losing 2-1 on the night, Shakhtar Donetsk advanced to the next round with a 4-3 aggregate victory, but it was far from comfortable. Mikael Ishak tormented the Ukrainian side with a clinical brace, first heading home from close range after Pedro Henrique's early miss and then converting a VAR-awarded penalty on the stroke of half-time. Lech Poznań completely dominated the opening 45 minutes, creating the better chances and exposing Shakhtar's defensive vulnerabilities. The hosts' lifeline came through the most unfortunate circumstances - João Moutinho's own goal providing a crucial away goal buffer that ultimately proved decisive in seeing them through this tense Europa Conference League encounter.
