Malmo 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk: Rosenberg nets decisive winner

Malmo secured its first win in this season's Champions League group stages, as Markus Rosenberg scored against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Markus Rosenberg scored as Malmo picked up its first points in this season's Champions League after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in Group A.

Rosenberg's first-half effort proved to be the difference between the sides at the Swedbank Stadion, although the winning margin could have been far wider.

Shakhtar dominated for most of the first half, but after conceding it was unable to trouble the home side, which squandered countless chances after the break, including a missed penalty from Nikola Djurdjic.
