VIDEO: Marlos increases Shakhtar's advantage until Rapid Wien finds 2 quick goals
The second leg between Rapid Wien and Shakhtar Donetsk has been frantic, to say the least.
Marlos gave Shakhtar Donetsk an early lead in its second-leg clash with Rapid Wien on Tuesday when the Brazilian's powerful, curling shot eluded the Austrian team's 'keeper.
As Jan Novota came out to challenge the ball, a shot deflected off his chest and out to Marlos. Novota was quick to get back in goal, but his diving effort wasn't enough to stop Marlos' strike, as the ball hit off the 'keeper's fingertips and into the net for the opening goal.

The goal gave Shakhtar a 2-0 advantage. Rapid Wien, however, cancelled out the advantage with two goals to bring the tie even, including a beautiful free-kick goal from Steffen Hofmann.
