Shakhtar Donetsk predictably advanced to the knockout phase of the Champions League after a 5-2 win over Denmark's Nordsjaelland on Nov. 20, but not without controversy. The match will mostly be remembered for Shakhtar’s questionable equalizer in the 26th minute that outraged the football world and caused condemnation of the Donetsk team, especially its striker Luiz Adriano.
