On May 15, Zaporizhia will host the Ukrainian Cup final
In the decisive meeting at the Slavutych-Arena, Paulo Fonseca’s men will lock horns with the First League side Inhulets.
The favourites' way
The current Cup winners Shakhtar joined the trophy race in a tense Round of 16 game, in which they defeated Olimpik (3-2 with Moraes, Totovytskyi, and Danchenko scoring goals). On April 7, a memorable Clasico vs Dynamo took place. In regular time, Harmash and Moraes netted goals, with both being sent off later, with the winners being determined in a penalty shootout, whose main hero was Andriy Pyatov. In the semifinal match, the Orange-and-Blacks finally broke the resistance of the First League leaders Dnipro-1 thanks to the precision shots by Dentinho and Marcos Antonio.
Sensational Inhulets
Inhulets started their cup journey in the second round, claiming a 1-0 home win at Kolos Kovalivka, also defeating Myr of Hornostayivka (3-0 away win) in the next round. In the Round of 16, the draw brought our opponents together with the Premier League side Mariupol, with Inhulets causing the first sensation by securing a 3-1 win. The quarterfinals were the longest for Inhulets: after being tied in regular and extra time with Karpaty, they won a penalty shootout (5-4). Finally, one step away from the decisive match, Serhii Lavrynenko’s men defeated Zorya (2-1).
