On Wednesday, May 9, the final battle for the second most important national trophy between Shakhtar and Dynamo. Football. ua will conduct an online text broadcast of the Dynamo-Shakhtar match, which will start at 20:30 Kyiv time.

"We fulfilled the minimum task, having overcome our rivals on the way to the final of the Cup of Ukraine. With Dynamo play is always interesting, this is our principal rival. I think the duel will turn out to be interesting, and the fans will enjoy the game, "Marlos quotes the official website of FFU.

"We have a team of high-level professionals. In the match with Zarey in the 1/8 finals, we demonstrated the character, having won a heavy and important victory. In particular, in that duel young talents showed themselves perfectly - Victor Kovalenko and Alexander Zubkov ".

"The goal in the finals of 2017 at the moment is the most important in my career. Unfortunately, in that match I did not score a penalty, I was very upset, I felt guilty and played with the thought that you must definitely score. When there was an opportunity to punch, I did not even think about it, struck, and, thank God, my ball brought victory in the Cup of Ukraine. Last season I did not score so often, so that goal was special for me. I hope, on May 9 in the final match with Dynamo will also be able to excel ".

"Paulo Fonseca is a very smart, competent coach. We are comfortable working with him, and therefore we claim to receive all Ukrainian trophies ".

"Dynamo a year ago and Dynamo today - two very strong teams. The difference between them is that under the leadership of Sergei Rebrov the people of Kiev looked more technical. I think today's Dynamo is even stronger than last year, because it looks like a solid team, the players are fighting for each other. In addition, the rival for the first role came out young talented guys. Waiting for an interesting denouement of the season ".

"I hope that we will show a good game. First of all, you need to adapt to the style, which demonstrates Dynamo. In the last match with us, the Kievites were correctly closed, closely guarded by our players. I believe that we will show football in which Shakhtar can play, we will be attentive from the first to the last minute, and the Cup of Ukraine will be in our hands ".
