Rakitskyi came on in goal instead of the goalkeeper at the UPL match. Video.
Shakhtar Donetsk defender Yaroslav Rakitskiy was forced to play the rest of the match against Dnipro-1 in goal after Anatoliy Trubin was sent off. The 33-year-old was given goalkeeping gloves and a T-shirt with Shevchenko's name on it (the Shakhtar's second goalkeeper).
