Dynamo’s 1-0 win over Metalurh Donetsk and Shaktar’s 3-0 victory over Chornomorets in Ukrainian Cup semi-final second legs confirmed the two archrivals will meet in the tournament’s final for the fifth time.
The first clash goes back to the season of 2001-2002. In a thriller at the NSC Olimpiyskyy, Dynamo fell to a 3-2 defeat after Vorobey’s extra-time winner.
The White-Blues took revenge in the upcoming years, winning three finales in 2003 (2-1), 2005 (0-1) and 2007 (2-1).
