Mircea Lucescu admits that Shakhtar's failure to see out a 2-0 win at Braga last week could come back to haunt his players. "It's a dangerous situation," he warns.

Wilson Eduardo's late goal gave Braga hope last week, restricting Shakhtar to a 2-1 victory

Paulo Fonseca, Braga coach
We can still turn this tie around. It does not matter to me if the probability of that happening is big or small. Shakhtar are strong and they have the advantage, but that does not take away any of our ambitions to win here in Ukraine.
Our team always play the same way and having to win will not change our approach. We know how to dictate the rhythm of a match and we always try to play in the opposition half – regardless of the opponent, competition and circumstances.
