Shaktar – Sivasspor: it is time for Europa League

All details of tonight’s clash between Shakhtar and Sivasspor have been arranged in a recent meeting today. The match kicks off at 19:00. All participants of the clash should arrive 90 minutes before the match at RSC Olympiyskyy.

Tonight guest team will appear in a white kit with red elements, then, the Miners are going to wear their conventional, orange and black striped gear.

The UEFA delegate Odd Flattum inspected RSC Olimpiyskyy stadium and its lawn before the meeting. The Norwegian remained satisfied with its level. During the meeting he also claimed if the match ended a 3-0 Turkish win, the winner would be decided after extra-time, or in case of need, after penalty shoot-outs. Such statement arose a smile even in Sivas team representatives…

Tonight’s match will become the only that will be held in the tournament framework, Odd Flattum went on. It will draw special attention. The entire Europe will see it.

From this point of view Odd Flattum paid attention to the UEFA attitude towards all kinds of racism. The match will be interrupted in case of any abusive behaviour mentioned. But the referee claimed with assurance that there might not be any problems.

An hour before the play-off round match the pitch will be irrigated in a mutual agreement.

An approximate number of supporters that are eager to come to the match is about 22 000. And 112 media representatives were accredited to broadcast this event.

Andreas Georgiou, a Cypriot observer, could not help paying a compliment: The officiating crew for tonight’s match is the best as well as the teams are playing tonight. That is why football is going to be a real pleasure for supporters.
