FC Dynamo Kyiv won the domestic title ahead-of-schedule due to the victory against FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the previous match.
After that Kyivans defeated FC Olimpik Donetsk in the Ukrainian Cup semifinals second leg.
This time the White-Blues coaching staff made five substitutions in the starting lineup comparing with the cup fixture.
Kyivans controlled the game, but couldn’t cope with Karpaty defense in the first half.
