Final of the Cup of Ukraine 2025: Shakhtar – Dynamo: date, time, broadcast, forecast | Football

On Wednesday, May 14, the final match of the Ukrainian Football Cup of the season-2024/25 will take place in Zhytomyr in the central stadium. The trophy will play two grands of domestic football – Dynamo Kyiv and Donetsk Shakhtar.

Now, perhaps, someone from Zhytomyr will offend it, but for those who actively live on the Internet and focus in Ukrainian memology, Zhytomyr – It’s a phantom. No one already mentions where « Zhytomyr does not go », but this meme continues to live.

Ukrainian football has shown not enough spectacles in recent years, is worse in the international arena – Both at the club level and the national team – but exists. Cogito Ergo Sum is probably not ideal for describing football battles within the country, but still this sport causes thoughts, creates images, disputes, is a holistic object for subjective prejudice and statements.

Although the champion of Ukraine has not yet been decided (the science of mathematics goes against rationalism), the finale of the Cup of Ukraine is still the main match of the last weeks of the season 20124/25.

The special fire adds the fact that the trophy will come down the strongest – historically, financially and emotionally – Clubs of the country: Donetsk Shakhtar and Dynamo Kiev.

A recent meeting

For various reasons, the last years of the White-blue and Miners meetings for some reason do not cause the rush that was in the mid-2000s or early 2010s.

It may not be the situation in the country to raise confrontation into the absolute. And perhaps friendship between legionnaires and collections erased the former passion.

However, a few weeks ago, the players of both teams gave the old-good classic fans. There was everything: struggle, tension, moment-catharsis. Goal a few minutes before the finals – Absolute cinema.

Draw – This is a kind of lack. Speaking of cinema slang, it was an open finale. In Zhytomyr, a match will have a more tragic end for one of the grands.

Pushich’s chance to go beautiful

For the first time in a long time, the Donetsk club may be in UPL below the second place. Bronze – This is not an achievement for the miner. Marino Pushich will always be associated with this medal.

To go on a major note, and in the fact that it will go no one doubt, Croat has to rake the door. Trophy – It’s cool. Trophy in confrontation with a megapprin opponent – Cool x5.

Victory in Zhytomyr for Pushich will be even better than winning the last two rounds of the Victory Championship with a score of 10: 0. Pick up the cup in Dynamo – This is the last chance to keep your face. To show that we played the whole football year we are not the best, but we have the character.

Birthday has everyone

The finale will be held tomorrow, May 14. Today, May 13, Dynamo celebrates his 98th anniversary.

Considering what failure of the Miners spend, they can think that they have already congratulated their main enemy.

Now you need to think how to bring a spoonful of tar in a barrel of honey. Pick up the trophy on the post -holiday day – It will not be a spoon, but straight bucket on the holiday table of Kyivans. And not the tar … not tar.

Story on Dynamo side

Dynamo always designed a « golden double » when it became a champion and went out to the finals of the Cup. So was nine times – 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2015, 2021.

Of course, football – not arithmetic or parade coincidence. But such patterns – This is a motivation for some and pressure for others.

There will be no alcohol

The Zhytomyr City Council has done wisely, Limiting alcohol sales the day before, during or even after the match. Zhytomyr officials may not be able to follow football and think that Aliyev and Milevsky are still playing, and not to increase the chances of « miners » …

But if you reject the jokes, of course, this solution is very correct. Too high expressiveness of the match can cause provocations and scandals in or near the stands.

Final – This is the decoration of the season, so let the heads of the fans circle only the skill of the performers on the field.

Will come out of them – super. Won’t work? It will be possible to drink later. Alcohol beverages are not the most expensive that is in Ukrainian supermarkets.
