The game between “Shakhtar” and “Alexandria” was interrupted by anti-aircraft sirens

With the visitors 1-0 up, the anti-aircraft sirens went off and players from both teams, as well as staff, took cover from a potential threat that could have put their lives at risk.

According to BBC.com, the sirens sounded for an hour, and the referees decided that the break between the two halves would be only 5 minutes. The game ended with a score of 2:2 (authors: Andrii Tsurikov – minute 5, Bohdan Mykhailichenko – minute 42, Mykhailo Mudryk – minute 82, Oleksandr Demchenko – 86).

Although Ukraine has been fighting Russia’s offensive since the end of February, the domestic championship resumed in August and is taking place under conditions of increased risk.
