GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (Reuters) – Shakhtar Donetsk staged a quick comeback to secure a 2-1 home victory over Swiss side Young Boys in their Champions League group clash on Wednesday.

Young Boys grabbed the lead in the 27th minute when Kastriot Imeri struck from close range.

Ukraine’s Shakhtar responded quickly, however, as Oleksandr Zubkov tapped in four minutes later and Georgiy Sudakov put the hosts ahead four minutes before the interval in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Swiss champions Young Boys are still seeking their first victory of the competition while Shakhtar have four points from four games.
