Ukraine: Lassina Traoré leads Shakhtar Donetsk to victory
Shakhtar Donetsk claimed a valuable 1-0 victory over Oleksandriia in Matchday 19 of the Ukrainian Premier League, with Lassina Traoré netting the only goal of the game.
The injury is now a thing of the past. Lassina Traoré is shining and proving his worth in a Shakhtar Donetsk shirt. On March 6, the Burkina Faso international striker scored the match-winning goal (1-0) against Oleksandriia. That brought his tally to four goals since returning from injury, following his hat-trick against Karpaty (3-0) in Matchday 17.
This win, largely thanks to the brilliance of Lassina Traoré, secures Shakhtar Donetsk's place at the top of the table after Matchday 19 of the league.
