Dentinho makes most of gift from Mendy and Varane
Shakhtar Donetsk made the most of the gift from Real Madrid. Mendy cleared badly, Varane stepped aside and Dentinho arrived to make it 1-0.
Little can be explained about Real Madrid's chain of errors in Shakhtar Donetsk's goal. Dentinho made the most of the confusion from Mendy and Varane to go in front.
It all started with an error in Mendy's clearance. Far from kicking the ball up the park, the Real Madrid LB made a mistake when hitting the ball and left it in the centre of the box.
Varane avoided the ball instead of clearing it and allowed the incoming Dentinho to arrive while the French CB, Lucas Vázquez and Mendy looked and pointed at the ball.
Courtois could do nothing about the errors from his teammates, which allowed Shakhtar to go in front.
