Previous meeting

On August 20, 2023, Kolos and Shakhtar met in Kovalivka. Already in the 12th minute, Serbuk, taking advantage of Mostova's mistake, opened the score. The Miners responded by pressing in the opposite part of the field and Molodiuk's shot – above the target. The second half saw even game, but the hosts doubled their lead through Maiborodina's long-ranger which hit the corner of the net. Subsequently, Holovach had to reduce the gap after the pass from Zaborovets from the deep – over the crossbar. Towards the end of the game, the hosts shot several times from a distance, but Shakhtar put a period in the match when Viktoriia Holovach scored in a one-on-one situation. The referee’s final whistle recorded a 2-1 win for Kolos.
