It’s time to recall the history of previous face-to-face matches.
Uzhhorod doublet
For the first time these teams opposed each other on March 10 1980 in Uzhhorod at Avanhard Stadium within the USSR Cup group stage. 8,000 spectators witnessed close match. The only goal of the game was netted by Olexandr Boiko (father of ex-Dynamo goalkeeper Denys Boiko).
The following time Dynamo defeated Karpaty at the same arena 3:1. In that match Lviv side netted the first goal against the White-Blues in cup fixtures. Shmundiak hit the target 76 minutes into the game. Still at that moment the score was 3:0 for Kyivans.
Decisive Ukrainian Cup matches
