Away as at home, at home as away

On Saturday, 20 March, the duel between FC Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Zorya Luhans’k will take place at the Donbass Arena. The match will kick off at 16:00.
Interestingly, the opposition between the two teams is quite uncommon. The first leg, despite its being played in Luhans'k, was in fact a home match for FC Shakhtar. And the forthcoming tie is the home leg for Zorya, but it will be played at the stadium in Donetsk though. The above is very easy to explain. The first leg was due on the day following the Grand opening of the Donbass Arena, but it was impossible to timely prepare the new pitch for the match back then. That is why the clubs agreed just as stated above.
The tickets are already on sale from the stadium’s Ticket Office. Regardless of the specifics of the coming match, the holders of the season cards for the home matches of FC Shakhtar do not need to bother about purchasing tickets: their season cards remain valid for the match on 20 March.
Welcome to the Donbass Arena!
