Shakhtar's senior Artem Bondarenko - about the match with Chornomorets and the exit from the Ukrainian Cup final.

Shakhtar became the first finalist of the Ukrainian Cup, beating the runner-up Chornomorets - 4:1. After the match, Donetsk team's senior Artem Bondarenko said he lost the match.

– Emotions are very positive. We knew that a collapsible supernik would be upon us, which is what makes us play good football, and then we reached the final. This will be the first final of the Ukrainian Cup for me, so I’m so happy.

They told me very clearly and sung against Arthur Avagimyan. And it turns out that we acted clearly against each other. Everyone was celebrating his incredible hat-trick, he was a good footballer, and he was happy to lose him, but the result was on the scoreboard.

About the match? We started off really well, then we missed an unnecessary goal - the opponent scored for nothing, and then we started up again and brought this game to its logical conclusion.

As in the team itself, it is determined who takes the penalty? There is no such thing that Mister seems to be victorious, but we and Zhora are already on the field: one penalty against each other, one for me, who has more chances. Therefore, there are no conflicts with this, because it is not appropriate for us if the collective state university appears on the field: “Give me, I’ll try,” “No, give me, I’ll try.”. We don't have anything like that. Be the one who has more chants. All of this - our homesteads - pass peacefully.

Sudakov? You can say that we tested the most incredible game, but the whole team played the most incredible game - we don’t want to bully anyone. The whole team was on top. I’ll say it again, we are all very happy that our goal has been achieved, even after such a decisive victory..

What happened during the festivities after this victory Honestly speaking, nothing happened. It’s such a goddamn victory, one can say so, and everyone knows that, first of all, we need to switch to the next game of the championship, because in three days an even bigger opponent will befall us, and in another way, we’ll still be assaulted by the finale. That's why there are still no joys.

Final? My thought is this: I want to play with Polissyam. This doesn’t mean that the stench is stronger or weaker, it’s just that it’s a shame. The stench is a new force in Ukrainian football, there are good players there, I would like them. Vanka Petryak is also there, I would like to play the devil,” Bondarenko said.

In the final Shakhtar plays Polissy or Vorskla.
