Yesterday, Shakhtar defeated the Dnipro in the semifinal match.

"It was a difficult match against a very qualitative opponent. We met with a team that did not lose 11 games in a row, "says Gornyakov.

"We carried out a great rotation. In comparison with the previous match in the composition were only Marlos and Tyson. However, the drawing of the game did not change at all. We continued to dominate, owned the ball and had a huge number of points against the team that closed with 11 players at their gates. It is very difficult to disclose such a defense. But even with such protection of the opponent we managed to create many chances. We are in the final ".

Fonseca made it clear that he was very impressed with the game of the 18-year-old goalkeeper Andrei Lunin, who helped his team several times in very difficult situations.

"I want to respond exceptionally well about the game of the goalkeeper of the Dnieper, who demonstrated his best level," says Fonseca.

The Portuguese specialist praised his team and players, separately mentioning the defender Marsio Azevedo, who returned after the injury.

"I am satisfied with absolutely all players and their dedication. The same Azevedo spent his first match after a fairly long break. All the guys were at the highest level ".

Recall that in the final match of the Cup of Ukraine Shakhtar's opponent will be Kiev Dynamo, figured out yesterday with Nikolayev.
