Shakhtar fan left gutted as mate knocks beer out of his hand during goal celebration
A SHAKHTAR DONETSK fan was left distraught after their beer was knocked out of their hands.
During the Ukrainian club’s Champions League group stage clash with Young Boys on Wednesday, Shakhtar were able to celebrate two first-half goals.
Kastroit Imeri had fired Young Boys in front before Oleksandr Zubkov equalised moments later.
Heorhiy Sudakov then put the hosts ahead minutes before half-time.
Fans went wild in the stands, though one saw their emotions go from ecstasy to agony.
The fan, who had an orange flag wrapped around their neck, was seen holding a blue cup, presumably full of beer – fans in Europe are permitted to drink alcohol in view of the pitch, unlike the UK.
However, as another fan next to him started waving their own orange flag when moving it over their neck, disaster struck.
As the fellow fan took the flag with his left arm he then moved it down, which ended up hitting the drink out of the right hand of his fellow matchgoer.
The fan who had the beer could do nothing but look down at his tragically lost drink, before putting his hands on his head in disbelief.
They were then seen appearing to say something to the culprit who knocked their beer over, before stopping themselves while the other fan continued to celebrate.

The game ended up remaining 2-1 to the hosts, marking their first win in the Champions League this season.
The match was played at the VELTINS-Arena, the usual home ground of German club Schalke, due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
