With a 4-0 victory over Shakhtar on Wednesday evening, RB Leipzig secured their passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League thanks to a string of goals. Christopher Nkunku led the German side ahead by getting in the right time at the right time to hammer home a rebound right into the middle of the net after ten minutes. Andre Silva led the way after halftime, betting at the far post to tap in a looping cross from Mohamed Simakan before Dominik Szoboszlai rounded the Shakhtar keeper to his third goal of the night.

Celtic dropped to the bottom of Group G of Group G in the Champions League after losing their second game in a row. Andre Silva scored a late brace to earn a well-deserved three points for the German side, who had two goals called out by VAR for two goals.

RB Leipzig fired manager Domenico Tedesco after they were thrashed by Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League opener. On Tuesday night, the Bundesliga club crashed to a 4-1 loss on home turf, but Tedesco's stumble – as well as a poor start to the domestic season – proved fatal for the club. The Italian coach, 36, had been in charge since December last year, leading Leipzig to victory in last season's German Cup and the Europa League semi-finals, where they lost to Rangers.

In their Champions League Group F opener on Tuesday, Marian Shved scored twice in a dream debut for Shakhtar Donetsk. Shved, who joined the club just five days ago from Celtic, was given his first goal when Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi miskicked the ball outside the box early on, allowing the winger to tap it into the empty net. After the break, the Germans stepped up the heat, and it paid off in the 57th minute when Mohamed Simakan made a quick move for the equalizer.
