On Sunday, in intriguing matches, the team from Kiev won the Ukrainian Cup for the ninth time in club history by defeating their toughest rivals, the football players from Donetsk, with a score of 2-1.
Brazilian Kleber put "Dynamo" ahead in the middle of the second half, but soon after, Rodrigo saw his second yellow card. However, even with only ten players left, the Kiev club did not lose their initiative, and with less than ten minutes left to play, Oleg Gusev exchanged passes with Milos Ninkovic and doubled the lead.
Although the Croatian Darijo Srna assisted Brazilian Elano in reducing the score, it was all that "Shakhtar" managed to do against their main rivals.
"Dynamo" has now won the Ukrainian Cup for the third consecutive year, and this year they are likely to achieve a double since they only need to earn at least one point in the remaining two rounds to secure the Ukrainian champions title.
