LVIV, Ukraine - Shakhtar Donetsk ended its European goal drought and ran riot against Malmo to win 4-0 and sustain its slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages.

Shakhtar went into the game without having scored a goal in its three defeats so far in the group stage, but dominated from the start against the defensively minded Swedish opposition.

Oleksandr Hladkiy had several good chances before he put the hosts ahead in the 29th minute, heading in the rebound from his own shot.

Darijo Srna made it 2-0 from the penalty spot three minutes after the break, before goals from Eduardo and Alex Teixeira heaped more pain on Malmo.

Shakhtar climbs above Malmo to third place in Group A after losing 1-0 in Sweden two weeks previously.
