FC Shakhtar Donetsk produced a dominant display to thrash Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad 4-0 in a high-profile International Club Friendly on January 15, 2025. The Ukrainian side sent a strong message with this comprehensive victory during their winter training camp, showcasing their attacking prowess. Shakhtar were in control from the outset, scoring two quick goals in the first twenty minutes to stun the home side. They added a third before halftime, effectively ending the contest as a competitive spectacle. The second half saw a more measured approach, but Shakhtar still found a fourth goal to complete the rout. Ludogorets, usually so formidable at home, were uncharacteristically passive and struggled to cope with Shakhtar's speed and movement. This result, while only a friendly, will be a concern for Ludogorets as they prepare for European knockout football, while Shakhtar gain immense confidence. The Shakhtar manager would have been delighted with the intensity and execution shown by his team.
