. Shakhtar won the match 2:0 with Oleksandr Gladkiy's 44' and Oleksiy Gai's 78' goals.
The match had 5 red cards issued: 2 to Dynamo Kyiv players and 3 to Shakhtar Donetsk players. The match also had 6 yellow cards (Gladkiy got two), 4 of which were given to Shakhtar Donetsk players and two were given to Dynamo Kyiv players. This was in part because of players' violent behavior and also because referee Victor Shvetsov made several misjudgments.
Road to Kharkiv
All sixteen Ukrainian Premier League clubs do not have to go through qualification to get into the competition, so Dynamo and Shakhtar both qualified for the competition automatically.
Dynamo Kyiv had a much instability on the road to the final. At the beginning of the season, the manager Anatoliy Demyanenko resigned after initial unsuccesses at the beginning of the season. He was replaced by former Dynamo player and coach
