HAMBURG, Germany — Mykola Matviyenko's diving header has kept Shakhtar Donetsk in the hunt for a place in the Champions League knockout stage with a 1-0 win over Antwerp. Shakhtar's win leaves the Ukrainian champion needing to beat Porto on Dec. 13 to qualify. Defeat ended Antwerp's chances of a spot in the Europa League and ensured the Belgian club will finish last in Group H. Matviyenko dived forward to head in the ball off Oleksandr Zubkov's wide free kick in the 12th minute. Shakhtar twice had shots tipped against the crossbar by Antwerp goalkeeper Jean Butez.
