PARSIPPANY, N.J. – Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk tied 0-0 with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League match at Arena Lviv on February 17. It was Shakhtar’s first match in 10 weeks, and Bayern was riding a crest off a big 6-0 win on February 14 against Hamburger SV.

The first-leg match in the Round of 16 saw a formidable Bayern open the shooting early on, with five attempts in the first half, while Yaroslav Rakitskiy’s 25th-minute attempt, although on target, was stopped by the Bayern goalkeeper.

The referee issued five yellow cards to Bayern and one red card, while Shakhtar was shown three yellow cards. Bayern fouled more often too, 20-15. Bayern led in passing and possession, had more attempts with eight, but was off-target seven times out of eight.

The second-leg match between the two teams is set for March 11 at Fussball Arena Munchen.
